Meh

Adam came home from the airport around ten last night, exhausted and sore. We sat up talking for quite a while before going to bed. I slept badly, wracked with pain. In retrospect, I probably should have done more stretching and aromatherapy.
Adam called earlier and said that both our cars -- the white Neon and the green Ram -- were in the local auto shop for repairs. He was driving a work van until one or both cars could be fixed. We're not happy. But the cars can and will be fixed. Adam is mostly annoyed because he could have gotten the parts cheaply and done the work himself had it not been an emergency; in an auto shop, it's the labor that will cost us.
On top of that, Adam is having a hell of a day with work, rushing from job to job, and he didn't sleep well either. We are both tired and achy and cranky, and I am trying to smile and keep smiling and be cheerful. It's a warm, sunny day. My cats are healthy and happy and waiting for us at home. We have plenty of food in the fridge.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

Happy thoughts, anyone? What are you happy about so far today?

Meh part 2

The cars are better. The Neon had a bad banjo bolt. That's all. But the auto shop charged seven dollars for the parts and seventy-five dollars for labor and cleaning. Now the car is fine. *blink, hrmph, shrug* The green van, however, is still not great, but it will run. Adam refused to pay eight hundred dollars. He'll take it to Joey, our mechanic friend, who will give him a much better deal.
We'll be driving into DC together. Adam will drop me off at my office building before heading off to the local Hyatt to set up audio-visual equipment for a conference.
We had cuddled on the couch, so Rose had decided to join us and crawl all over us and purr and knead and smile (yeah, she still smiles). So Adam got out the video camera. We'll upload the footage soon. It's adorable.
My hair has grown so thick and long, I love it. It seemed to happen overnight. It's gotten to the point where I may consider trimming more than an inch at a time now.
My lower back is still in agony. Spastic, throbbing, etc. Mm. Stretch more.
