8 of 100 ... Good Day, Bad Computer

Ok ... going to take responsibility for this, only because my computer DID go one when I turned it on a few min ago ... you see, after the last blog entry, it decided to go to a black screen and say some things that had me worried.  I was hesitant to turn it on in case it would tell me that it was infected. As you can see, I'm typing, so it must not be that bad!  However, it seems like a visit to some computer tech might be in my near future!  I tried to log on today from work, but not sure if I was doing something wrong (likely) or if the IT department had something blocked or not updated ... either way, I could not get online. 


Again ... I am posting for yesterday.  (I made notes so that I wouldn't forget what I wanted to write!)


Part 1 - Gratitude Moments in my Day. (for Tuesday)
1.  Today, I am grateful for: a free lunch!  Our manager took all of the Administrative Assistants out for lunch to a nice place (Red Water Grill). As this is about gratitude, I'm making no negative comment on this incident.  It was very nice to be recognized and had a lovely meal.  I chose healthy (drank water over any other drink! ... we couldn't have liquor because it was during the work-day), and my meal was fabulous! There were 12 of us in all, I think.
2.  Today, I am grateful for: the lovely weather and since I had my runners at work, I walked to the restaurant and back!  Things were a bit stiff but it sure felt good to get out and do it!
3.  Today, I am grateful for: getting my taxes done!  I always have such good intentions, get part of it together, and somehow I'm scrambling at the last minute.  Well, since I had no clue if I was going to owe the government or vise versa, I had one last document to find, I found it and got it done tonight!  Thank goodness! (I owe ...)
4. Today, I am grateful for: having the opportunity to learn NL's position.  It feels so good to stretch my brain muscles again!  (I hope the rest of my body says that when I begin to stretch those muscles, also!)
5. Today, I am grateful for: the free flower packet I got from work today for Earth Day.  For zinnias ... mom used to plant them, and when I read the back, they seemed easy enough.  Last year, I wanted to plant something but never did ... now, I'm looking forward to the weather being nice enough to see how my attempt at planting flowers goes!


Part 2: Steps out of the Rut
1.  6 cups of water - done!  I had one cup left for when I got home. 
2.  empty sink? - well, since I didn't eat much at home, there was nothing to wash.  Not a practice I want to continue!
3.  20 min. activity?  yup!!! walking to the restaurant! It was a perfect 20 min ... 10 min there, and 10 min back! perfect start to this, right?


So, all in all, a good day.  I have to say that I am feeling the urge to always have a water bottle with me ... and that's a good thing, right?
