The Perfect Day

Things have been trying in every way for the last month. Murphy's law at every bend...... But today was the perfect day!

First I got to sleep in - my back appears to be healed and I slept ALL NIGHT - I've been lying awake half the night for a few weeks.

I've been trying to negotiate some support at work. I have some radically high maintenance clients and my team is not backing me up. I wrote a desperate email on Friday night arguing my case and several higher ups came through with real game plans that should make next week maybe something like normal.

Alex makes the BEST breakfast burritos - and he put those together while I ran around the house rounding up rain gear for our trip to Santa Fe. The weather forecast this morning was 70% precipitation but we really needed to get out of town. And sometimes a walk in the rain is a very good thing.

The ride up to Santa Fe was just gorgeous. The clouds! The Light! As we came closer there was a thick white wall of rain.

We headed up Old Pecos Trail to meet our friend Sally at Peyote Bird's Tent Sale. Sally and I worked together at PB 16 years ago - but I've been long since gone while Sally's still hanging in there. I got a bag full of amazing bling for ridiculous prices. If you have nothing to do tomorrow and need some new jewels and you live in Northern NM then the sales on tomorrow too- 414 Old Taos Highway - you'll see the tents.
