A Little Happiness

I've been a little sad lately. My job has been very busy and I've been working long hours which means I have little time for myself, my husband, my workout routine, or revising my novel. Thus, the sadness. I know this sounds whiny. A lot of people have worse problems. I'm just tired. Our busy season runs from January through May and that's just the way things are. April is going to be a bitch. We have three and sometimes four events per week. That means late night or weekend hours, unfortunately.

But the sun is shining. Today I noticed green grass poking its way through all the yellow dead lawns in my neighborhood. Spring is on the way and that makes me happy. Because if I still lived in Chicago, I would be cold. February is a horrible month in the Midwest. I would still be cold in June. So no matter how tired or cranky I am, at least I'm warm and the sun is shining.

Also, I think we're getting a puppy tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day!
