more happiness…

I told ya happiness is many things in my last post and i’m here again to tell you more! 

I moved into new place this past Monday and ever since I have been taking a shower without a shower curtain because I have just simply not had the time to really look for one I want….you know, to match the colors of the bathroom and all. So, yeah…i’ve been taking a shower like this all week and doing pretty well at NOT making a mess. Well, today I was able to get a new shower curtain that is to my liking. 

After I left work and before I came home to my new place, I had to go by my old place to move some more stuff. On the way, I went to coffee shop to get a jolt in the form of a little 8 ounce cappuccino. I’ve also become friendly with a young guy who works there and I knew today was his last day so I wanted to go by and see him before he leaves town. ANYWAYS, he asked me what I had been up to:

me: I moved so I have been busy with that all week. 

coffee guy: oh cool, where.

me: not to0 far away. over on sheridan rd. the place is brand new. everything is new. I get to take a shower in a place where no one has taken a shower before. 

coffee guy looks at me with wide eyes and smiling: wow. I wouldn’t even begin to know what that feels like.

Well…after carting more things from old place to new place and putting more stuff away, I finally put up the new shower liner and curtain. Then, I took a shower. And you know what? 

IT FELT REALLY FREAKIN’ GREAT! 

No worries about water splashing or nothin’. I could just rest my tired head and let the hot water wash over me. All this week, I surely could have taken a bath, but I am not a bath person unless my body is really hurtin’ from some kick-ass running. That day, though, will come. And I will look forward to the day when I come in from a run… tired, beat-up, sore and aching and cannot wait to get into my big peaceful new tub! For now, it’s shower time. 

On the running side: did 3 short runs on Tues, Wed, Thurs this week.
