Bad Karma, Good Karma
Bad: driving out to work Tuesday I noticed that the parking lot where my non-functioning Beetle was parked was going to be closed on Wednesday and I would have to figure out how to move it.
Good: it got me off my ass and forced me to get the car fixed.
Bad: I was waiting for the driver from the car repair place to pick me up, and I didn't see him until he was driving away.
Good: As I tried to figure out what to do, Ethan walked by on his way to his car and was able to give me a ride, the first time I'd seen him since last Sunday's race.
Bad: the car repairs were VERY expensive.
Good: I realized that since the car is paid for, I might as well keep it for a while and have fun with it (while getting my money's worth from the repairs! :P)
Bad: this morning, as I got downstairs in my building to catch our private bus to the train station, I realized I forgot something and had to come back up, which meant I would miss the bus and be late to work.
Good: a lady from my building saw me running late and got the bus driver to wait until I came back down.
Bad: my train was delayed coming home and I missed our private bus back to the condo.
Good: there was a public bus leaving 30 seconds after I arrived and I managed to get on it.
Bad: I went running today and about 3.5 miles into it my left knee started hurting so bad I had to walk.
Good: I still finished 5 miles, and it was a BEAUTIFUL day outside.
Some people say I am too optimistic. Maybe so. I try to see the good in everything, something I am getting better at lately. When people try to decide how they feel, if "the glass is half full" or "the glass is half empty," I'm just happy to have a glass.
Most people think I'm on drugs.

The only thing that intrigues me is the fact that the lady was REALLY nice.
The thing that concerns me is your knees, are they all right? Time to increase your calcium intake

ikanbillis: everyone who has a Beetle is optimistic. I think YOU are pretty optimistic, and you don't even have a Beetle, so yay you! and hey, which comment are u talking about? email me
dh: ^_^ to u. hope to give you some of my optimism.
deadboy: yes, she IS nice...she also works at a foreign embassy here so I assume she is just trying to recruit me to be a spy for her...she would do better by making me some chocolate chip cookies.
and yes, my knees feel somewhat better but I am still a little worried. I will take it easy on them and I will increase my calcium intake, good idea, thank u!
