Day 74!

I AM FULL OF EMOTIONS OF JOY AND EXCITEMENT!

That was seriously the most intense hockey game I have seen in a long while and seeing the Bruins win was a special kind of HELL YEAH. It capped off my night.

Other highlights: there is a DUNKINS coming to my town (OMG DUNKINS), my day was productive, my night class was fun, and the day was beautiful.

My happy moment of today actually happened first thing.

My view walking the 1.8 miles to work. I will never tire of it.

It just got more gorgeous:

Today was stunning.

It was just one good freaking day, man. It was an early release and my kids were focused. My meetings went really well and my mentor and I got a lot done.

Also, my family is the freaking best. All four of a had a thread going troughout the game with reactions and jokes and EMOTIONS. It was beautiful. I'm glad I made die hard hockey converts out of the lot of them.

Now it's Go Kings Go, but mostly Go Bed Go because zzzzzz. 

Day 69!

Today (I'm going back to sleep, so I'm saying today) was busy and fulfilling. It was very strange today to be in a room again, taking the SAT...well, administering it, but when you're reading and scribing, it's impossible not to mentally take it as well.

With the extended time, it was a long day. Thankfully, the school bought pizza for the special ed students and proctors to have at a break. Our testing went from 7:45 - 2:45; we needed that lunch break.

The rest of the day went uphill from there: THE LAST PERIOD OF THAT BRUINS GAME! I shouted and cheered and was so, so proud and happy. I was super glad to see the Kings take Game 1 over Anaheim as well. Thanks, hockey gods!

This photo below, though, takes the cake at summarizing my day's happiness:

This was taken from the town beach, on my walk; it's just a few minutes from my house.

Winter and snow and ice were around for so terribly long that I almost forgot how incredibly beautiful my town can be. The lighting last night in the hour before sunset was absolutely stunning. The fresh air cleared my headache away and took away the chill I was feeling, and the walk was very stress relieving.

I wish the rain would let up some so that I can have more afternoon's like this one!

Day 52!

Despite the fact that Spring seemed to forget it had started to arrive, I was able to find things to enjoy.

Firstly, the delay allowed me the chance to Facebook message with a best friend. Time differences are such a pain, so this was a nice surprise.

Secondly, I still went for an evening walk in the brisk air and it was quite beautiful out.

Sun beginning to set and a view of the mountains.

The day had melted the snow it began with so I did go out walking. I live just a street up from the lake, so I meandered down and saw some lovely views as the sun started to turn the sky pink and the lake water peaking through the ice started to reflect it. It was peaceful and made me happy.

Until tomorrow.
