What a nice day...

Today was one of those really nice days that just happens unexpectedly. Nothing major, no huge news. Just a nice day :)

First of all, I've been nice and busy all week with work stuff. I've been working with several different clients doing updates, and also had a meeting with a potential new client earlier in the week. (for those of you keeping track, that was Trina Chow's cousin). The meeting went very well, and I sent her an estimate today.

So I'm feeling nice and productive this week, which is always nice. I still have more work to do (it's piling up a bit) but really, that's the way I like it.

All kinds of small, nice things happened this afternoon. I had a hair appt scheduled at 4:00 in the Castro. For those of you who haven't seen me lately, my hair is surprisingly long these days. I haven't had it cut since March, so I figured it was past due.

On my way to the Castro, my friend Tammy called from Chicago. (nice thing #1) We had a nice chat about her weekend in Palm Springs, and she gave me the full report on our mutual friend, Bill's wedding.

While I was talking with Tammy, I explained that I had to go get the battery in my watch replaced. I found the local Sunglass/watch Hut on Castro Street, and went in. As soon as I was inside, I asked Tammy if I could call her back. I simply don't like to talk on my cell phone much in public. It's fairly unusual to find me having a conversation on it while I'm walking around, but I don't like to talk when I'm in restaurants or stores. Anyhow, the clerk at the store noticed that I got off my phone, and he mentioned how much he appreciated it. He said that a lot of customers come in, talking on their phone, and signal him by pointing at sunglasses they want to try on. Tacky. Anyhow, he said he could replace my battery, and that I could come back in 10 minutes. Perfect! I stood outside, and chatted with Tammy while I waited. When I went back into the store, he informed me that he wasn't going to charge me the $10 for replacing my battery - he insisted that I had made his day by not being rude with my cell phone. Well... that, of course, made my day! what a nice guy! So, if you're in San Francisco, and need Sunglasses, or a watch.... Go to The Sunglass Hut on Castro/18th. Ask for Ion. What a nice guy. (nice thing #2)

Went to my hair appt at 4:00. Had a wonderful time catching up with my hairdresser, Ramiro. Haven't seen him in a long time, and we had a good time catching up. (nice thing #3 - plus, I got a good haircut to boot!)

Oh, and did I mention that my tenant gave me his rent check today - all paid up through October now! (nice thing #4)

That's it. Like i said, nothing major, but all nice. Got some work done, sent out a job proposal, had a nice phone conversation with a friend, got my watch battery replaced for free, and have better hair.

Life is good. :)
