Quiet...what a beautiful sound
It is completely quiet in the house. No TV, no radio, volume is off on the computer, and the phone has not rung. I never thought how much I'd enjoy the sound of silence. I have a job that makes me be surrounded by SOUND all day...some sounds are good, some are in-between, and some are awful. If it isn't instrumental music, it's talking, laughing, banging on drums, or booms from clumsy athletes dropping weights in the weight room above my head. Right now all I hear is the hum of the computer, and a little bit of rainfall outside. Nice.....
Last night as I was stopped at a red light, some oblivious dude came screaming down the street on his bicycle and ran smack into the side of my truck...he flew off his bike and landed hard on the pavement in fromt of my truck. I watched him fly through the air and over my bumper. Weird. He was carrying a container of soup. Doubly weird. He got up, put the lid back on his soup container, and jumped back on his bike and took off before I could stop him. Now I have a scratch on the front corner of my truck, and I had to clean noodles off the hood. Very weird.
Today was a good day. It started off wonderful. I love being greeted in the mornign with happiness and affection. It sets the tone for the whole day. Even though I was swamped at work, had rehearsal for a long time after school and then a meeting all evening, I came home still in a good buzz of a mood. Thank you!
Tomorrow's agenda:
- Go to work (ugh, teacher in-service for the first 2 hours)
- Do everything in my power to see that the band has show 4 learned and ready for the game. That will be tough since they have yet to even march and play the 3rd song in the show. Dang RAIN!
- Go clean stalls and ride Taylor. Crunch time, baby! Gotta work on that sitting trot and those forehand turns, and my confidence!
- Go run and work out at the Y. My plan is to do a hard workout tomorrow, and another on Sunday and then that is it until after Congress. My strength is up, I think I am ready.
- Head home and eat something very filling - either soup or spaghetti. Yum...
- Watch Survivor with Kevin. Polish my show halter, hunt and show boots, and hunt bridle as watch. Try not to think about next week.
- Go to bed by 11pm at the latest (yeah, dream ON!)
I haven't taken any pictures lately. Must get on that!
