Squirrel Thoughts

Sometimes, my friends, the stars align, and something amazing happens.

I spent most of yesterday coughing, sneezing and generally just feeling yucky, so when I woke up this morning not feeling much better, I called in sick to work.

Now, had I sucked it up and gone in — as I’m usually inclined to do because I have some sort of weird Catholic guilt complex despite not growing up Catholic — I may have actually been working around 9 a.m. Instead, I was lying in bed with my computer, sifting through my RSS feed, when I came across the sweetest sight mine eyes have seen:

I kind of freaked out and purchased a ticket to his Denver show, since LD lives there, before realizing he’s also going to Spokompton, which is much closer and would be much less expensive to get to, but oh well!

Because of this, what started out as a less-than-stellar day has turned into a pretty good one. Does that mean I have to go into work now?
