I'm optimistic

Last week was kind of a strange week for me, and I know it was for a few others who I talked to as well. I don't know if it was some weird DC phenomenon, but I felt like the whole city, and consequently my whole life, had a weird aura about it last week. You heard about my lovely Saturday, which was the highlight of my week, and not especially strange, but the rest of the week felt weird. There were a number of small events that contributed to this sensation, none of them really worthy of mentioning here, but when all put together they seemed to have a pretty sizable effect on the color of my week. And also lead to an uncharacteristic level exhaustion which caused me to go to bed before 11:00 twice in one week.

However, upon waking this morning, for the start of a new week (Monday is my day off, so my week starts on Tuesday) I found that the feeling had faded. Things seemed pretty much normal. And so far it's been a pretty good day. Nothing especially great has happened. It's been a pretty typical Tuesday, but so far it has been a pretty good Tuesday. And more importantly it has been a Tuesday thus far devoid of any eerie feelings or moderately strange occurrences. So I am optimistic that this week will be good in a normal kind of way, because right now that is just what I need. Also, since the culminating event at the end of the week will be a trip to Chicago, the week seems bound to be filled with pleasant anticipation. And oh yes, there is a marathon of baking ahead of me on Wednesday evening, which I'm sure you'll hear more about later.
