My body is still on east coast time-zone, which means I fall asleep at 930pm pt and I wake up at 4am pt. Oh well. The upside is all in the planning. 6am my coffee arrived, and now I get to sit on my balcony and look at the blue glow of the mountains emerge out of the mist, as the sun rises. I don’t think I have a large enough appreciation for mountains. They are very beautiful. Good morning from Pasadena. #100happydays (68/100)

First day in California went well. Lots of meetings with good people, sharing ideas and planning for progress. I like it.
Once the day was done, my old friend Ashley and a few others, took me out for a drink. Today was made great by a nice glass of Cabernet (ok, 3)….and a walk down memory lane. #100happydays (67/100)

I spent today in the air. Flying above the planet. Moving from New Jersey to Los Angeles. Star Trek was right. Beam me up Scotty!
Ok, well, it wasn’t quite like that. It didn’t happen with a tri-corder. And my matter didn’t distribute in NJ and combine back together in Los Angeles. Er – no. I was cramped in a window seat, on a packed jet for almost 6 hours. It was time to make lemonade out of lemons.
The solution? My in-seat flight entertainment system! Hooray! M-O-V-I-E-S!!! I watched 2 3/4 movies. First was Bridge of Spies, then The Monuments Men, then 3/4 of The Martian. I guess I’ll watch the end of that one on the way home on Thursday morning.
Comfort comes in the form of laundry! To me, laundry is not a chore. It’s a comfort. I don’t know if it’s the rush of cleansing water? The fragrance of purity and clean? Or the warmth of cotton in my arms as I carry it upstairs.
It’s January 16th and it feels like SPRING outside. 51 degrees and sunny. Oh don’t get me wrong, I LOVE it — but it’s just so weird. This winter, we have had fewer ‘cold’ days thus far than spring-like days. I don’t know if this is all because of the El Nino the weatherman keep talking about — or if it’s an ominous sign of changing weather patterns due to our (read mankind’s) poor care of our planet.
Deep deep questions for a lazy Saturday. Either way, I spend this January day in 2016 with daffodils on my mind. Two months too soon — but — eventually YELLOW will be the color of the season.
SPRING ROCKS, even in January. #100happydays (64/100)

Peter and I have one foot in our old life and one foot in the new one. Some days it feels a little uncomfortable, like doing LUNGES!
Today we took the big step — and put our house on the market.
Ohhhh, what a physically and emotionally draining day. I’m exhausted. Got a tremendous amount of stuff done for work, for home, for the job search….still recovering mentally and emotionally from the loss of Zoey. My happy thought right now — is my bed.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GO TO BED TONIGHT!
Struggling to find some happiness today. You’ll understand in a moment.
Before my eyes were even open, the radio was talking to me….something about SNOW today. Say what?
Ok, I know it’s January, and we’ve been spared snow thus far – but — (I’m whining! I don’t want it). So this was my happy thought all day today, as I waited for the snow to come. One-day — this handsome fella will be as close to a snowman as I’m gonna get!
