I am the first person at work today. I came in, made coffee, and now I’m sitting here listening to my iPod (God bless my iPod) and sipping coffee that I made.

I went for a jog this morning. I forgot what a huge difference exercise makes on a person’s day. Everything just seems “sharper.”You feel just a little more comfortable in your own body.

Although, it wasn’t easy to wake myself up at 7:30am this morning since I ususally get up around 10am everyday. I’m grateful I did, and I think the main reason I was able to do it was that I knew I would be grateful….and be infinitely regretful if I slept in instead.

Isn’t it amazing how one song can bring back a wave emotions? I know…I’m preaching to the choir. But MAN! I only had to listen to James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” once yesterday and I burst out in tears. At that moment I missed Boston, I missed P., I missed that assured feeling I had that I would be moving to Boston after graduation to be with him forever. I haven’t even talked to him for about six months. I went hunting for him last night online, but couldn’t find him. It was a wierd moment.

The beginning of the Baseball season…and watching those oh-so-sentimental Red Sox play at Fenway isn’t helping either.

Today is my nephew’s first b-day party. I discovered the other day while standing in Toys-R-Us,scratching my head, and staring at a wall of toys…that I have no idea how to buy for a one-year-old. I must admit I’ve never done it before. I got him a Baby Einstein Book (On Mozart…ick…everyone knows that I’m a Beethoven kind of guy, but you do what you have to do) and a little barking dog attached to a string that he can pull along beside him while he learns to walk.

Geeze…jogging with an iPod, buying toys for my nephew, eating special K etc.

…I’m officially a yuppy!

LOL
