A Perfect Day

[bjarvis]

Yesterday was very odd in a delightful way... it was, for lack of a better word, a perfect day.



I had a series of tasks at work, all of which were completed without error or surprise. I finished a series of server builds without finding faulty equipment or having issues dealing with the data center staff getting them installed in their appropriate cabinets. I had several conference calls, none of which added additional items to my "to do" list; indeed, all of them happily reported successful conclusions on many outstanding tasks and we're on schedule on my other projects.

I got a raise and a bonus at work. And then the boss took my team out for lunch.

When I arrived at home, there was a reimbursement check from my medical savings account, paying me back for my co-pay and uninsured balance for some dental filling replacements last month.

Kent cooked dinner (a delicious curried beef on white rice, a combo we affectionately refer to as "slop") and we caught up on three recorded episodes of Battlestar Galactica.

I telephoned my mother to check on her recovery from minor food surgery and she didn't ask me to send up money. And I haven't heard a thing from another sister whom I expected to ask for rent money for this month.

After exchanging some e-mail with rlegters and tdjohnsn, I slipped off to a pleasant sleep.


In my life, it rarely gets better than this. Ahhhhh....

Chocolate is so ubiquitous in my life that I didn't think to mention it. Yup, lots of dark chocolate in the afternoon and evening, mostly truffles. I'm still eating my way through birthday presents. :-)
