On the Upswing

Ok faithful friends and readers, never fear, I am once again set on happy mode. I think I just needed to get off my bum and move around, get some sunshine, get out of this god-forsaken pit of negative energy. I woke up this morning and put some finishing touches on my resume and applications for the keepers jobs at the National Zoo. Then it was out the door and off to the library to print them out. An hour signing up for a library card and waiting for a computer later, I was onto the metro and barreling downtown to drop them off. I breathed a deep sigh of relief as the burden was lifted off my shoulder for the time being. No one can say I didn't try, the rest is in the hands of fate. Oh and probably those who read the pages that I labored over, trying to pour the very essence of my awesomeness into. We shall see, I am certainly not holding my breath.

After I dropped off the apps, I skipped my way around downtown DC, enjoying the beautiful weather and sunshine on my skin. I found myself at the art museum and wandered around, pondering art and artists long dead. After a quick bite to eat and a rest at the Navy Memorial, I high tailed it home and here I sit!

A good day indeed, and a lighter frame of mind to enter the weekend. I am working another Snore and Roar tomorrow night (sleepover at the zoo). This one is Great Cats, so I get to go behind the scenes with lions and tigers AND I get paid for it! A sweet deal indeed! And then my family is visiting for the weekend. Too bad I couldn't get any days off but hopefully we will have some fun evenings.

And then next weekend I am coming home for a few days! I cannot wait!!!! So hopefully I will see some of you soon and collect on those hugs I have been craving.

Huggles!
