Heh. I like it. It's got that it's-a-cruel-world-let's-throw-ourselves-in-the-abyss type ambience.

At least today was better. Got a fair amount accomplished at work, got a couple months worth of heads-up on a major undertaking that's coming my way soon for the web site, and then had a lovely dinner with friends. Didn't get a return call about repairing the windshield yet though, so I'm not going to drive my car tomorrow either. And yesterday someone sent me a ping at just the right time, thank you so much. Greatly appreciated. =) Perhaps I'll go wander downtown this weekend to ogle the cherry blossoms if I feel motivated enough to leave the house.

I had a brief moment in Denver on Wednesday where I thought that I could just not reboard the plane, go rent a car and drive into the mountains for a while, but practical considerations prevailed and I resisted the urge. Not sure what's up with the wanting to wander off these days, but it's definitely lurking there in the back of the brain.

Are the cherries blossoming already? Freezing temperatures couldn't have helped.

Wanderlust... maybe it is the experience of recent travel, combined with the reality of returning to the mundane work world. I sometimes feel the most itchy to head out again just after I've returned from elsewhere...

I think they're supposed to peak between next Wednesday and the Monday after, according to the last report I saw. I'm a bit loathe to try going down there on a holiday weekend though, as it's insanely crowded. The claim is that they won't be damaged by the cold unless it's an extended period or really much colder than it was. I suppose we'll find out. =)

Re: the wanderlust, it could partly be the recent increased amount of travel to places I've never been. And partly because of recently reconnecting with an old friend who's been all over the place, which I'm somewhat envious of. And I suspect it's also partly because I'm about to turn 31 and I realized there's so many places that I want to see that I haven't yet. Early midlife crisis? *grin*

The original peal was predicted between 4/1 and 4/5...they moved it up a couple of days because it was so warm this week. I had to run an errand up 14th street today and it was a mess getting there...that said,a girlsweetie is dragging me into the tourist mess in like two weeks.

It looked like some of the trees had already blossomed. I love the way it looks but it's so untempting the thought of fighting the crowds...
