Today is going to be a good day

26 January 2005

I woke up.

I got out of bed.

I looked in the bathroom mirror and was pleasantly surprised to see that my hair didn't look like a family of hamsters had taken up residence in it overnight.

I brushed my teeth.

I chose the clothes I wanted to wear today and only changed my mind twice.

I did my hair, and it only took ten minutes to get it to a state where I was happy to leave the house.

I put on make-up and managed to make it look subtle.

I left the house.

I got to the station as the train was pulling in and stepped on just before the doors closed.

I had enough personal space.

I was able to change to another overland train instead of having to get all hot and sweaty on the tube.

I had two seats all to myself.

I smiled as I looked up at the sky and the pillowy clouds scattered across its perfect wintry blueness.

I got off the train 17 minutes after leaving the house and joined the river of souls pouring towards Euston Road from the doors of St Pancras station.

The red men turned green as I approached.

I caught sight of my reflection in a window as I walked into work, and my hair hadn't turned into a frizzy mess.

I sat down at my desk 28 minutes after leaving the house and powered up my new laptop.

I'm going into the wilds of NotLondon this afternoon to shadow a colleague as she does a presentation, to get an idea of what's expected of me when its my turn.

I'm going to come back to London, go home, cook dinner, pour a glass of Wine (or maybe Port) and relax in front of the fire.

If I'm lucky, I'll have company for that last bit.

Today is going to be a good day.

I hope it is.

And I think you changed things *just* enough to keep the Beatles lawyers from your door..
