Things I thoroughly enjoyed today:
Walking in light rain down to the Mississippi.
Watching the white heron I've been seeing lately. Watching the shimmer of waves in subdued light.
Taking off my shoes, standing barefoot in cool wet grass, and eating raspberries until I could eat no more.
Choir practice at First Universalist: both the singing and the joshing around. The basses as usual were the "troublemakers," the tenors had ready quips, the sopranos were thin and lovely, and the altos laughed at all the jokes.
An extended call to the help desk at work, because Tony cracks me up. I can feel myself on the verge of losing it laughing, and sometimes I roll right over the edge.
Sitting in a bookstore, drinking tea, reading a magazine, listening to the rain pound on the outside. (Vastly preferable to being stuck in extra-slow rush-hour traffic, on top of post-bridge collapse congestion, on top of our already crowded streets and highways. I waited it out at Borders Books.)
