A Good Day

I thought that instead of only writing when I'm anxious, stressed, or depressed it would be nice to write when I'm having a really good day too. I was able to talk with my husband on the phone from Seoul this morning for about an hour which was great. It was really nice to just chat with him in addition to emails; his trip is going relatively well....no lost luggage, missed connections, or other mishaps. Just the mystery meal with the clients last night at a traditional Korean bar-b-q.
It's about 3am tomorrow there, and the monsoon is expected to hit sometime in the afternoon. He believes the well at site they are exploring is most likely going to collapse, with or without the heavy rains. The exploratory drilling crew did not do what they were supposed to do to preserve well access prior to his arrival. So based on that, he may be able to meet me in Chicago for our vacation even earlier than the 12th...although the work at the site will have to begin all over again, he'll leave all the equipment there and just have to go back when it's done. Better than having to spend a month there, which is about what the time frame from beginning to end looks like.
I am actually not as depressed about the upcoming long weekend as I was before. I can work around the house, pack for my trip and just relax for 3 days. I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
I've been so anxious and stressed for the last 5 days I almost forgot what it feels like to feel good....definitely worth memorializing in a journal.

Namaste,
Glad you got a chance to talk with your husband and that he may be able to get home earlier than expected.
By the way, the food in Korea is excellent, if not strange, in some cases.

That sounds like a great idea to write about good days as well. That way when you feel bad you can go back and read about the happy times too.
Are you fond of fireworks? Maybe that would make the weekend a little more enjoyable if it's not raining in your area.

Thanks MJ, I thought it might help to write some positive things. I get tired of just complaining all the time and I am sure people get tired of hearing it. Of course, that was yesterday....did something to my lower back between the time I went to bed last night and got up this morning...ouch, it's really tough to move around.
As for fireworkss, I could take em or leve em...they're pretty, but not something I want to drag myself out into a crowd alone to do so I'll probably just hang out at home. My dog will be freaking out anyway, so I'll bring her in and try to keep her calmed down and just take it easy.
Enjoy your holiday weekend.
