cindy's world

Indicia that I really, really dislike housecleaning:
* I’ve taken 4 catnaps already (and I’m not one to nap)
* it’s suddenly really important that I review my gradeschool diary first
* I’ve spent a combined time of over an hour lying around “planning” housecleaning strategy for the most efficient use of time in all I need to do, instead of actually doing housecleaning
* I’ve spent a combined time of an hour staring at my face in the mirror and grooming my eyebrows and playing with my hair and overusing my tweezers
* I’ve considered how much easier life would be if I didn’t have cat hairs, cat litter, cat food, cat eye juice, cat vomit to clean up after, and instantly felt so guilty I spent 20 minutes cuddling with my cat (naked so that I don’t get cat hairs on me) on the upstairs hallway floor
* the laundry has been sitting in the dryer for over 1.5 hours now, ignored
* I’ve weighed myself and taken my bodyfat percentage 3 times since this morning
* I’m upstairs on my laptop blogging.

Yin yang, Newton’s Law, whatever the natural or supernatural forces you choose to believe in, has made the pendulum swing the other way.

The four-star, all-inclusive Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa that Diana and I have had our eyes on has been $213/nite as the best price I could find for the week we’re gonna be in Cancun. Just today, I get an email from Diana that says “dreams is having a super sale, $150 /night.” And subsequently, “Airfare about the same too.”

My response: “OH NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! And we just got a 15-count child molestation criminal trial…this is a great day! A GREAT DAY!!!” We’re gonna book our vacation today at lunch. If anything’s worth missing a lunch or a lunchtime workout for…

I was so excited that when the criminal attorneys came in for their trial and I saw one of my favorite DAs, I actually threw my hands in the air and said “YAY!!!” My boundless joy was so apparent that the public defender, who I do not know well, noted, “Gosh, this is such a happy court.” No one has ever said that about OUR court. Never. Quite the opposite. The judge is in a great mood after seeing the attorneys, too. He respects the DA greatly, and apparently was a juror in a case tried by the PD before he became a judge. He’s all cracking jokes off the bench and laughing.

And just now, I got a phone call from a fellow clerk, who gave me the AMAZING news that a difficult, overly complicated, multi-party car accident civil trial we have coming back in September, has just been settled in its entirety by his judge.

I’m so happy that I’m afraid of the other shoe dropping! Or maybe I already earned this wonderful karma I’m getting today. *dancing vigorously in seat*
