1) It was really cold (by LA standards) this morning, so I didn’t run opting instead to stay in bed where it was warm… That wasn’t my only excuse, however. I think I may have injured my knee (the right knee specifically) more than superficially when I fell a few weeks ago because after I ran Sunday morning my right knee was pretty sore for a couple of days… It’s frustrating because I feel the desire to run but don’t want to risk further injury if I’m not fully healed yet…
2) Almond butter and jelly sandwich… I like almonds better than peanuts, so I guess it’s natural I would like almond butter better than peanut butter…
3) Today was just another really boring day, but it wasn’t really a bad day… I guess that’s something to be happy about…

1) Today was a really boring day and traffic was really bad, but at least I can say that I was happy that a meeting I didn’t want to go to was cancelled…
2) I was bored driving home on the freeway this evening but was entertained by a sign on the back of the truck I was driving behind. There was an arrow with a happy face pointing left with the words “passing side”, and an arrow with a dead face (i.e. sad face with “x” eyes) pointing right saying “suicide”... I thought it made the point pretty clear, pass big trucks on the left side, not the right side…
3) I went to the Thai restaurant across the street to order take-out, and I smiled when the waitress smiled at me and asked me if I wanted the same thing as usual.. I’m that predictable…

1) I was really dragging this morning and had no desire at all to get out the door and go to work, but I was happy that it was a beautiful morning (see the photo I took)...
2) I was happy that a meeting I had with the internal auditors was less scary than I was expecting it to be…
3) I went for a walk during my lunch break to the Miracle Mile area of LA and saw a couple of western gulls bathing in a fountain in front of an office tower. I recognized them because of their pink legs. According to my field guides, although western gulls are common at the beach, they are supposed to be rare just a few miles inland. Well, here they were anyway…
