Redeemed

Today started out shit again.
No sign of the sun, only more rain.
And cold.
Until about mid-morning.
Then, the SUN started coming through.
OHTHANKFUCK!
Temps warmed up too.

What still sucked, was working past five.
The compliance guy was in town and he and my boss weren't quite done til closer to five thirty.
Ugh.
I just wanted to go home - I nearly asked the bank president for a ride.
But, I had ulterior motives - I wanted to stop by the liquor store for some wine - and I knew my boss would afford me that. So I toughed it out.

Then bonus - the Bota Boxes were on sale, and there was rebate!
Score.

I was home by about six and sat outside for a bit in the late afternoon sun, along with the birds, and some of my homemade salsa and chips for dinner. Yum!
Just that hour outside was sooooo relaxing and rejuvinating after a day indoors at a desk.

I'm now enjoying a glass of shiraz, while settling in to write, sort a couple of pics, and post this entry.

As expected, my neighbour's garbage was never picked up - I'm guessing the dumb cunt hasn't kept up with her bills and now we ( the rest of us neighbours) will have to pay the price.
Garbage was being picked apart by the crows and other critters overnight, and into today, and also blowing around the alley from the breeze.Bits of garbage can be seen in the alley - some in puddles, some outside the bags, and in that yard by the evergreens there was much more. As the crows picked this evening, the spread grew.
Nice eh.
She's home.
So are others.
Music is on.
Lights are on all around the house.
No one's made any effort to pick up or re-store it all in the garage (where it was previously), until she sorts her bill or pick up issues.

Later, just at about dark, my texts went off.
In my messages was this lovely photo of a sunset from my girl friend Krystal.

Such a lovely sight.
A very nice ending to the day.

And here's this to top it off:
