I found my Otrivin!

I finished yet another book; this time on corrosion control - a work reading project.

The Leafs pulled out a win in the shoot-out after nearly coughing it up in regulation.

It was very satisfying to watch the Oilers beat Calgary.

The Daily Affirmation

Its amazing how much you can get done when you're not:

- tired
- angry
- bitter
- pissed off
- frustrated
- annoyed
- stressed

Or otherwise generally in a bad mood, while simultaneously the weather outside is not such that your only thought is to go into hibernation.

I paid the ginormous bill for my hot tub this morning.

I cleaned up the driveway snow again, but cheerfully this time, plus dug a path to the back deck because;

I finally cut up the cardboard that remained on the deck from when the hot tub came inside in March. Its too much for one recycle bin load but the steps are in motion to finally clear that from my yard.

I scraped the windows again, instead of driving with the defrost to handle the job.

I shoveled my driveway, even though it started snowing.

The first televised NHL game was October 11, 1952.

Act of Caring

You know what my Act of Caring was for today?  I actually came to work, on a day I booked off as vacation, to generate drawings and answer questions for people that weren't really interested but were nagging and bugging us (vendors) for something to do to fill their lonely, desperate day.

I figured out how to edit my Favorites in my Sirius app on my iPad, so now I can, at a glance, see what else is playing for music, when the station I'm on plays a piece of junk like "Blurred Lines".

There was zero line at the medical lab this morning.  No waiting.  I remote started the truck before I went in and it was still running (< 10 minutes) when I came out.

While nervous about a family gathering, it turned out great.  I had an awesome time swimming and everyone was very generous with the venue and the food.

I got two likes on my water sliding video.
