bonus day

today seems to have fully freed yesterday's funk.

the better half took a vacation day. FINALLY!

but that doesn't mean we are laying around with nothin' doin'. rather it has been quite busy and it's only 1pm PDT. to recap the morning events...

awoke and had tea made for me. (that never happens on a monday; already today was off to a great start).

followed the better half to drop his car bright and early at the mechanic. an honest and fair-priced guy who specializes in only the better half's make=money saved.

departed in one car and stopped for some more 'free' coffee (courtesy of the lovely starbucks gift cards floating in my wallet).

arrived home to meet the now beloved fence contractor. privacy in the near future/victory all around.

cleaned the house (swept; laundered; brushed pip outside=quite funny to observe her inside tendencies/bitching to get back inside)=productivitiy all around and free (having yet to hire a housekeeper). yeah yeah, time is money but for now i'm okay with investing my time to clean because i seem to have a lot of time on my hands lately.

gave myself a glorious facial without having to leave the house nor shell out cash.

observed the better half in his glory accomplishing his hit list for the day.

began planning an inexpensive road trip for the end of summer as well as the better half's upcoming (well, in seven months. what? it needs planning) 40th birthday bash. and an early start to this planning will hopefully prevent a last minute quest for cash.

next up:
yoga
laundry
swim
start my next read "fingersmith" by sarah waters

all in all i think the funk has bid adieu.
