I was biking home last night after working out, and as I started up from the underpass, the scent of jasmine drifted through the chill night air. I heard a bird’s cry and looked up to see an owl flying overhead, feathers white against the midnight sky, with the Orion and the stars gleaming brightly as a backdrop.

I love moments like that.

I could do without the headache I got shortly after waking up this morning though. Princess Jack made lovely and delicious cookies (I took pictures, I’ll link them when I get my laptop back). And I had a nice lunch with my pirate at the Pita Pit – which was quite good actually, but my ear piercing plans fell through. As I mentioned in my wiki comment on Primary Concepts:

“I’m a bit nervous about getting my ears repierced, and Chris was very helpful about answering my questions and reassuring me. Unfortunately, I specifically asked if he would be open on Wednesday for Valentine’s Day and he said yes. But when I went with my boyfriend after lunch to get my ears pierced as my gift it was closed. I prefer to support small local businesses, but the main reason I do is for good customer service. Saying you’ll be open and then closing is not what I call good service.”

So since I’m going to Sacramento tomorrow to finish setting up my will and all that (it’s free with my legal insurance), I’m going to try out SubQ who are supposed to be very good, and then I’m going to go to the mall and take advantage of the after Valentine’s day sale at Godiva. Yum!

Saturday I’m going to putter around the house with Meow, and hopefully get some decor/storage projects done. I also saw some metal pegboards online so you can use peg stuff and magnets which I think would be awesome in the laundry room and maybe even in the den.
