9/23/14: not nearly enough sleep last night, but it's my own fault. I went to bed early, but got completely invested in the baseball game I was watching and stayed awake way too late. I was really tired when the alarm went off this morning, but got up anyway and I'm glad I did. In a bizarre coincidence, the first day of fall was unusually cool and my walk could not have been more pleasant. So pleasant, in fact, that it lasted longer than I intended. I was a little late to work, but I felt great. My morning walks are a time where I work out issues and do long-term planning, and I didn't realize how much I have missed them. I went to work feeling physically and mentally refreshed.
It was a good day at work. We had a brief security scare, but nothing serious and it certainly made the day more interesting. What shoes did I wear? Funny you should ask, because I happen to have a picture.
I promise not to post shoe pictures every day. But I probably will for awhile. Wearing all these heels this week has made both of my feet a little sore. Yes, sore. And I love it. My feet haven't felt sore in more than a year. I'll take soreness over excruciating pain any day. I haven't had to increase my programmer in several days, so I still have a long way to go. So far, so good.
The best part of the day? My patient, long-suffering husband's evening meeting was postponed at the last minute, so we had a surprise date night. We spent much of the evening sitting on a shady deck at one of our favorite local restaurants eating appetizers, drinking wine, and catching up. Even though I was at home for two weeks, between our house guest and his rehearsals, we haven't had much alone time together and it felt wonderful to reconnect.
I resolve to get to sleep earlier tonight and make another long walk tomorrow. So far, I like fall pretty well. I hope it stays around for a few months.
