Had a really nice day today. Got a good night's rest. Had a nice lunch with a short walk in the sun afterward. A friend who had gone to Provence brought me a small bottle of concentrated lavender oil- soooo yummy! Another friend gave me a stack of new books to read and a bouquet of flowers that she'd received. But since she's going out of town in the next day for about a week, she didn't want them to just wither away in her apartment, so I got them- sunflowers, chrysanthemums and Queen Anne's lace. Met with a colleague for about an hour, got lots of good feedback on file organization- I may be able to get a couple units organized by early next week! Polish class went well and it's my mom's birthday, so I had a nice, short chat w/her. Found out that the NHL is playing a few games in Europe this October, might try to go to one. Went out to dinner at a tapas restaurant with several friends, had a good time just relaxing and chatting. And made it home about 15 minutes before another huge storm started. Talked to S about life in general and a book project and school... and now it's time for bed.
