tales of an ordinary girl

Today is a beautiful day outside. The clouds have cleared and it's just slightly warm. It's a little humid, but everything feels clean outside. I took a walk around the campus and it's that mix of institutionalized buildings and beautiful landscaping. It's a mix of orderly and wild. And it makes the wild even more beautiful in contrast.

I've been working a lot and the people I'm working with are starting to drive me batty. But today, even though I have a lot of reasons to not feel good, I feel pretty bouncy.

Maybe it's because a friend of mine has finally found out good news about the kids he's adopting. Three, count them, three kids. Talk about an instant family! But I'm really, really happy for him and his wife. It's been a long time coming.

Maybe it's because I completed two more sub-projects this weekend and I'm only three more away from completing and getting away from it. Of course these three are going to be tough. No one really wants to complete anything. But they'll get done.

Maybe it's because I'm getting my hair cut tonight. Yep, I'm going to do something different. I don't know if I'll get a lot cut off, but it'll look different, I hope. It's been too long since I've had a new style and I want to have something interesting (not weird, just interesting).

And maybe it's just because you can only be down so long before bouncing back up. Maybe I'm too tired to be unhappy.
