Day 223. This week is going to be all about work. I am finally feeling a lot better and I have to get back to some projects that I let lapse. Today I have to edit a large document. It is due to my client on Monday. At the same time I have a super large multi day project that I am working on with a deadline of Wednesday.
So today is all about getting me and the dogs food and getting to work. Not too exciting I know but it feels really good to feel well enough to get back to work after 6 weeks of being ill.
Until tomorrow...

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 222. Today I had a lunch planned with a friend but she canceled because of the rain. I went to run some errands and ran into a friend I had not seen in a long time. He was eating brunch in a restaurant and I sat with him while he ate. I was nice to catch up.
I took a nice bath while watching a favorite TV show.
I watched a Grandma. What a good movie! It was moving and funny at the same time. Lily Tomlin was great.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 221. Feeling better today. Finally ate solid food.
I went to a team building activity today with a client's staff. They had everyone to go to a place where everyone paints the same picture. There is an artist who leads the group and tells everyone what to paint. At the end, everyone gets to take their painting home. Mine turned out fairly well. I plan to hang it in my home.
I think it is pretty good! Considering before this the only painting I did was finger painting and painting a cabinet. I am proud of it.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 220. I woke up feeling better from my bout of food poisoning. I have to give three presentations for my client today and then I have a baby shower to attend. The presentations went well.
The baby shower was for the friend who I went to dinner with on Monday where I got the food poisoning. I didn't tell her I got food poisoning because I didn't want her to feel bad. I probably got the food poisoning because the food was bad but also because my immune system is so bad right now with the meningitis and the flu. My immune system is a mess. At the shower she sort of pushed and I ended up telling her on the side. I didn't want to make a big deal about it. I was not eating the food at the shower because I was not eating solid food yet.
The shower was interesting. There were no decorations. It didn't seem like a baby shower at all. It seemed like people hanging out. The invitation didn't say she was having a girl or that she had a registry. It was just strange. There was a pink cake but it could have been a birthday cake or a anniversary cake. There was nothing that said having a baby other than pink frosting. No balloons or flowers. No games or trivia. Or weird candies that you have to try to figure out what type they are. No guessing size or weight. We talked about TV shows and movies we liked. And books.
Their doorbell didn't work but they didn't put up a sign so two attendees actually went home because no one answered the door. I almost gave up because no one answered the door when I rang the bell but I knocked really loud. Then someone said I should have just walked right in. How weird! I would never walk into someone's home I don't know. That is how you get shot these days!!

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND NINETEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 219. I woke up this morning and I am still ill with food poisoning. It is just not stopping. I had to get up and write another presentation that I needed to give this afternoon. I pulled it together and gave two presentations this afternoon. My client said they were really good.
I came home and once again went to bed.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 218. Oh, no. At 3:30 am I woke up SO sick. I mean sick with Food Poisoning. It was evil. I think the tofu was bad.
Thank you goodness I finished the presentation last night. I had to give the presentation this afternoon. My client said he could see I was ill but I was very good at covering it up because no one else could tell.
I came home and went directly to bed.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 217. I am meeting a friend for dinner tonight. She is a friend who used to live in my neighborhood but moved to Kentucky five months ago. She is also pregnant with a baby girl. This may be the last time we can get together for dinner until after the baby comes.
We decided to go to a fancy Japanese restaurant that I had never been to before. I called and they said they could feed a vegan. When we got there they really didn't have anything for me to eat. I had a kale salad that we shared and a tofu/daikon dish.
It was great to catch up with my friend. I am sure going to miss her!
When I got home I finished my presentation for the next day.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 216. Another day of relaxing. I finished up my chores for the weekend (laundry, sweeping, clean the bird cage, change the fish tank water, pay bills) and went food shopping. Then I took it easy. I have a work project to get finished but I got a reprieve since my client is ill.
I spoke to a friend on the phone. At the store I bought some greeting cards so send for birthdays and upcoming holidays. This week I have baby shower to attend.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 215. Today was a slow day. I wanted to lay low because I have a big week ahead. It will be my first week back to visiting clients and I want to be at my best. I have to make a few presentations and I need to be on my game. I still have a little cough when I talk too much and I wanted to do my best to stay inside so it will go away. I watched a few movies: One For the Money (which I think I may have seen before but could not really remember it well) and Dolphin Tale 2. Dolphin Tale 2 was really cute. I wonder if they will make a Dolphin Tale 3. The ending was left open for another movie in the series.
I spent a bit of time speaking on the phone with a friend. We had not talked in a while so it was nice to catch up. I also got a sweet card from a friend.

DAY TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
Day 214. Yesterday was the last day of March.
March - My Passions
“You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
On to April!
April - All in the Family
“I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.”
The harder part is staying in touch when it is a regular day so this will be my challenge. Keeping up with folks when no crisis is happening.
I got my taxes in the mail. I am sitting here on a Friday night with a feeling that I have not had in a long time: I have nothing pressing to do. No taxes to do, no house assessment to do. I just have work to do. It is a nice feeling.
Until tomorrow...
