Maybe...Just maybe....

Jennn is getting antsy for a new post, so here goes....
I am becoming more aware how little tweaks in my environment affect my mood and outlook on things. This might seem common sense to some and ludicrous to others. But I shall explain. Today marked my first foray back into real life. I put in 7 hours at the office, made a cake to celebrate The Third (an office-mate), did payroll, caught up my to do list, reassured my boss that I do indeed have everything under control, and then went off to drama practice to get my crew ready for the night of one acts (which is of course in two weeks. Was supposed to be in one, but I've begged for a stay of execution to allow me more time to prep!) But back to the tweaks. Tonight, instead of me having to come home alone, Joe has changed his life group to Thursdays, so we came home together, so I got to ride instead of drive. The heat wave has broken a little bit, so the night air was cool through the open windows of the truck. The salsa music blaring from the truck ahead of us was so muted that it was almost quaint. And since we successfully filmed one of the 2 commercials for said upcoming NOOA, I was feeling good about getting something accomplished. All my shorts were dirty from the weekend o' celebration for my dad, so I decided to forgo my brace and wear the new pair of jeans I hadn't worn yet. (got them the day before surgery... hello?? totally spaced on the fact that I wouldn't be able to wear normal clothes for quite some time...) They fit great, and it helps that I swiped one of Joe's comfy t-shirts. Might live in this for the next couple of days. So with all that said, all those lovely things aligning all together, topped off by the fact that the city FINALLY paved the area of Summit Ave around the Square so I no longer feel like I'm off roading just to get home, I looked around me and thought, "maybe I can live in this city after all."
