Comments on: It’s ‘Celebrate Life’ Day! http://www.damnswede.com/2007/04/22/its-celebrate-life-day/ Setting aside an hour a week to be mysterious...

I think your vehicle is ridiculous http://www.damnswede.com/2007/04/22/its-celebrate-life-day/#comment-57 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 06:07:57 +0000 http://www.damnswede.com/2007/04/22/its-celebrate-life-day/#comment-57 [...] I was talking with my friend Monica this week about my anxieties. I think they have gotten worse since the drive-by, since I find myself anxious about the smallest things. I may have mentioned that before, but I realized this week that I left a tough working situation at the exact same time at the drive-by. Literally the exact same day. So, maybe it is a combination of both those things. Anyway, I think I am going to be okay. I replaced my broken elliptical machine and believe exercise will help manage my anxieties. I took Wednesday off work to use up carryover PTO days. It was a wonderful day. I slept in, waking in time to make it to my spa appointment. I love the spa. I got a facial, which lasted nearly two hours and included a shoulder, neck and arm massage. So relaxing. Shortly after I got home, my dad arrived in the city to help me remove the aforementioned broken elliptical and replace it. We went to Sports Authority, found one I wanted to purchase, and thankfully it was also on sale and in stock. Despite my dad’s many attempts to coerce the Sport Authority representative to come home with us and help us carry it up the stairs, he declined and we (my dad and I) managed to do it ourselves. It was fun working with my dad to assemble the machine and, quite frankly, I would have been pissed off at step two and postponed assembly to a different day. Together we did it, and I am thrilled to have it. [...] […] I was talking with my friend Monica this week about my anxieties.

The woman on the train truly sounds like an angel. I'm glad she was there. Celebrate Life Day. What a wonderful idea. I may have to participate myself. Or maybe I can call it "Celebrate Carrie's Life Day." Sounds good, no? I was going to have a Green Apple Martini tonight anyway. Now I'll have to make a toast before I drink it. (I'll do this part when Greg's not around. He laughs at me too much as it is.) Thank God for thirty seconds.
