good day

Today was a really good day. I had a good day at work, then we went out ot eat, and then we went to a concert.

Work was good because I'd pretty much been home all week sick, and it was good to get out of the house. It was good to chat with people I work with and customers. Plus, they had me bagging bulk items and tagging them, which meant I got to sit most of the day. Usually by the end of the day my feet feel like they're going to explode. I mean I literally have tears welling in my eyes from the pain. Not so today. So much better!

Then after work Sean and I went to Billy Goat's for dinner. Their food is yummy, and it was nice to go out. We have had to work through some tension over going out (he likes to plan way ahead, I like spontaneity) but today it came together easily.

Then we went to a concert. The band has two guys I work with and two others I had not met. They were really good! And the location was awesome. You know, I've never really felt the whole "good energy" thing. Not to this degree anyway. I mean, I've been in a place where everyone was having a good time and being nice to each other, and to me, that was good energy (still is). But this place, we walked in, and it felt great, and nothing had even happened yet. My cold actually retreated. I'm starting to be more of a believer in this stuff...

I talked to one of the two people who run the center, and she told me all about how when they moved in they got all the light fixtures changed, changed the windows, pulled out the old rug... and when they painted, they first wrote words on the walls and drew symbols, then painted over them. In the paint they mixed frankincense and fairy dust (glitter, I expect).

You know, I'm a skeptic, despite my own wishes, but I have to say, there was something real there. Mount Shasta really is an amazing place.
