The first day back to the office after a long weekend is always good. Three and four-day weekends are the best for me, it seems. Any more than that and I tend to get a little stir-crazy unless I've been working on some massive project.
How I was Lucky:
1. Back to work!
2. Reached someone on my first call.
3. Belle made a great surprise dinner for us.
4. We went to the library and found some good books.
How it could have been worse:
1. The pool's still closed. But they hope to be done remodeling it in a week or two.
2. I didn't sleep very well last night or the night before. But at least I have flexible hours and no early morning appointments scheduled.
How were you lucky today? How were you fortunate that things could be much worse?

Happy Memorial Day!
Today was a good day, overall. Belle didn't feel well earlier, so she stayed home and I went to my parents for a BBQ.
How I was Lucky:
1. I had the day off and great food to boot.
How it could have been worse:
1. Belle didn't feel well and slept a lot of the day. But as they day went on she felt better and better.

Day 17
Today was a good day. We went to Grandma's for lunch/dinner. There was some excellent food, cute puppy dogs, and a rousing game of Scrabble.
How I was Lucky:
1. We played Scrabble.
2. I got to see Little Dog! She's my mother-in-law's black lab. While she's a lot bigger than Tiny Dog, she still fits in your lap and is a total cuddle-puppy.
3. The office is closed tomorrow!
How it could have been worse:
I didn't feel that great, but it was just a headache and stiff neck.

Day 16
Today was a good day. Belle had play practice, our place was already cleaned up pretty well, and we had company over. It was everything we could ask for in a Saturday.
How I was Lucky:
1. Game Night 2 was a success! At least, I'm pretty sure that everyone had fun. I enjoyed it a lot.
2. It was wonderful to have most of our housework already done when we got up. That's largely what we did Friday night.
3. The day was relaxing in general.
How it could have been worse:
Today was excellent.

Day 15
How I was Lucky:
1. Gas dropped in price yet again today!

2. We found more houses that we like.
Today I wasn't terribly in tune with how lucky or unlucky things were. Was anyone else lucky today?

Day 14
Not too much to report for today.
How I was Lucky:
1. A guy at work might have a more appropriate home for Gerbil Dog.
2. I tried a new tilapia recipe and it turned out well.
3. We relaxed before bed by reading instead of watching TV.
How it could have been worse:
1. Belle wasn't feeling well again yesterday. But things really turned around halfway through her play practice.

Stormy Day 13
Another lucky day! Day 13 must be, based on the weather. The storms blew through again, but fortunately we were untouched. Belle and I even spent some time hunkered down with Tiny Dog, Gerbil Dog, and our fish.
How I was Lucky:
1. I got to spend a lot more time than I planned with my lovely wife, Belle.
2. Storms on this day reminded us that we really don't want to have a house without a basement. We also remembered that we are in no hurry to buy if it's not right, either, so we can afford to wait until we find the right house.
3. I know how to read weather radars on account of one of my best friends is a meteorologist and spent the time to teach me. So my office had a pretty good idea what was coming and when it would hit.
4. I was able to make it home with plenty of time to spare before the storm hit.
How it could have been worse:
1. Another thunderstorm came through and I had to cancel all of my afternoon meetings. But I got the afternoon off and our area wasn't hit by any tornadoes.
