I woke up with a head full of worry. Ricochets of ideas about meetings I had to attend and things I would be missing were getting themselves into a traffic jam in my synapses. I knew I was running late for work.

Except it was Saturday. I was just being overwound up after a tiring week. I think it had been a good week, and I had plenty to look forward to for the weekend.

I spent the day in preparation for an evening out. I had some CDs to copy (I mean backup) and I also wanted to use my spare time to get a cycle ride and take my bike in for servicing. The zoom around the river was very pleasant and I managed to find the rain as I did my little detour to Staples to buy CDs (turns out I had plenty) and cartridges for my printer. Never mind, a little drop of rain can't hurt.

Plans for domestic bliss today were put aside. I saw the time move inexorably towards my evening out time, so I grabbed a shower, left the house behind me and went out and had a very good evening. I like chinese food and I like good company where the conversation goes everywhere and ends up back where it started to continue in a new direction.

Some Saturdays are worth repeating. Mine was healthy and fun with a smattering of getting things I'd promised to do, done.
