Rainy days and Mondays...

Woke up this morning, and ignored my better instinct to go to Zumba class.  I was feeling lethargic, unhappy, and frankly unsatisfied with work.  I just do not enjoy going to work in a place where I have no impact or import.  It's insane!  I am truly looking forward to being on active duty in May and finishing up with my time in service.  And, as I said last week, I am thrilled to be moving forwards in my MSW program and starting the process of being an intern.  I will even get a badge!

So, in order to combat this malaise, I am planning on going home, hooking up to the wii fit, opening up EA Sports Active, and working out.  I have to maintain the happy endorphin level at almost any cost!

It was a good weekend -- I went to our last ocean count for the season on Saturday, pulling along a cranky monkey husband and tired stepson.  We left early (Wayne was driving, and Mario Andretti he ain't), and had a very blustery morning, along with rain.  It was so disheartening that half the volunteers left at 10:30!  But things then took a turn for the better.  Starting with a close swim by, we saw a breach, and then had lots of whale activity from about 5-6 whales until the end of the count.  It was wonderful!  Someday, I will work my camera finger fast enough to catch that breach.  In the meantime, we had the company of a monkseal named Rip, several Hawaiian green sea turtles, and lots of seabirds.  Quite lovely.

Yesterday was a good day, too.  I made a lamb in the slow cooker, called home to Mom & Dad, and watched basketball.  Dianne, Lee & crew came over for dinner, and rounded out the day most pleasantly.  I was very happy indeed!  I had also worked out both days on the EA sports active program, so that helped contribute.  I know that once I do it again today, I will feel much, much better.

So soon to go home, work out, start editing our Ho'oponopono video, and enjoy the company of three furry critters and a spouse.  I feel better already!

Ciao for now!
