Wonderful Day
Yesterday was one of those great days, despite the bad start.

I woke up yesterday at 5:30, set to run off to the airport. I had a plane to catch for a business meeting in DC. I got there in plenty of time, but they'd canceled my flight (an hour before it was supposed to take off). So with little time to spare they switch me to another airline... where I had to go through special security. "Guess you're getting a free massage today," says the TSA man when he saw my marked-up boarding pass. However, when all was said and done, I made it to the meeting with 15 minutes to spare.

The meeting went great. Kickoff meetings are always fun as everyone is hopeful and happy at the start of a project. Then there was a flight back, a training ride for my kitties (to get them used to the car), and a race. I ran the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge 5k. It was hot and muggy, but it was fun to be out there with my coworkers and remind myself that yes, I really can run 3 miles.

I came home and hung out with my roommates and the indomitable ukelele. We stood out on the porch and watched Somerville's 4th of July fireworks. A lovely display. Glad to see that parking ticket money spent on something useful! It was late but I figured I'd box up a few more books just to feel productive. I think I'm within one box for my main bookshelves. So close! Then it was over to A's for some amazing mind-blowing cookies. A lovely way to end the day.

I can't think of a better day to feel accomplished: jet-setting business girl by day, racer by night. Plus there were thousands of cheering fans on the run and fireworks to end the day! Who could ask for anything more?
