August 3 - Reasons To Be Cheerful

Fuck it. I've had too many angsty entries over the past few days. It ain't all deep thought and self doubt. these are some of the reasons I feel good tonight.

 

Smelling a beef stew cooking as I walk in the door tonight
We were smart. We planned ahead and marinated the beef last night in red wine, onions, olive oil, parsley and thyme. Deb cooked it this afternoon. We get to eat it tomorrow night too.

 

Drinking the remainder of the red wine
Can you say, "mike is tipsy?"

 

Matthew sleeping straight after feeding tonight
Hear him gurgle. Hear him sigh. Don't hear him cry!

 

Having a good talk with Debbie over dinner
Damn, but it's good what alcohol can do.

 

Getting a haircut today
Haircuts are my only overt concession to coolness. I go to an alternative-trendy hairdresser in a funky part of town. Or what passes thereof in Wellington. It's, as always, short, cropped at the back. The one time I look sharp.

 

Sarah's back writing again after a brief hiatus
Yah! I missed her writing.

 

Writing something major at work today
See! I can do things.
