Some Velvet Morning

The great melt is still on. It's been a while since I saw bare pavement on the driveway and out on the side streets. Even the great snowbanks have been demolished for the most part and there is bare grass here and there. It was about 60 degrees today but was cooling down by dark.

It was another very busy day at work, can't remember when it has been this hectic. It seems that everybody is in the same boat. I took a long walk around 2PM and I needed it.

Breakfast: Stonyfield strawberry yogurt. Lunch: Low-carb bagel. Dinner: Two slices pizza, two hard-boiled eggs, two handfuls peanuts, two handfuls raisins.

Liquids: Three coffees, three Pilsner Urquells and a coffee mug full of Kahlua.

I'm practicing my patience. At the Dunkin Donuts when I ordered a coffee and a low-carb bagel, I paid for them and received the coffee. But they forgot to give me the bagel. So I just stood there patiently, waiting for them to notice. I nonchalantly looked around and stood there, determined not to get their attention in any way. Eventually the clerk realized and quickly got the bagel and apologized for the delay. At the Dunkin Donuts this morning, three teenage boys got in line in front of me and I knew I was in for a long wait. They all ordered those complicated sandwiches along with toasted bagels and fancy coffees (doesn't anybody drink regular coffee anymore) that take a long time to make. But I just stood there and waited to order just my medium coffee with cream and no sugar.

Download of the Day: "Some Velvet Morning" by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. Very trippy. Actually I already had it but added it to my iPod.

Walked about 15,000 steps today.
