Today was my first full day of restructuring and prioritizing my life. I didn't start the day out too great, I slept in until about 10am. I am usually up no later than 7am. My husband and I decided to take our children (3 and 6) to the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh since we are a member. Today was a very rainy, dreary day and it seems as if everyone else in Pittsburgh had the same idea to find some nice indoor activities to do with their family as well. A good day for Phipps, but I enjoy it more when there are fewer people.
We stopped on our way to Phipps Conservatory to get some quick food for the kids since it was lunch time for them. Stopping at a fast food restaurant was not my idea, but after taking one look at my burger, I literally laughed until I couldn't breath anymore, with tears streaming down my face and my husband thinking I'm going bonkers. Because a description of how pathetic the sandwich looked is just not enough, I took a picture of it which made my husband think I was even crazier. I lost my appetite and could not eat it.
We finally made it to Phipps after missing the first turn and ended up entering Pittsburgh from the opposite side of the city through the Fort Pitt Tunnel (which the kids loved – and I was less than enthusiastic due to the rain slicked road and the traffic). I only grabbed the “oh shit” handle a couple of times and hit the “right sided brakes” a few times, but I feel I did a great job of keeping my comments to myself. My husband can get a “little” upset if I say anything about the traffic. All things aside we had a great day at Phipps Conservatory (what a wonderful place that would be to work). I have some pictures, although I didn't have my Sony Cyber-shot (battery needed charging), and my Pentax K20D does not have a macro lens for close-ups of individual flowers.
Overall, I think I should get a C+ for the day on my assignment to improve my life and my position. The activity did keep me away from the computer games and I really did not miss it that much.
