Roller Coaster

[mlerules]

Yesterday was really quite good to a point (1.5 hour beach walk w/great sun & clouds followed by a cool-down stroll along the 3rd Street Promenade and a successful Vicki's Secret run followed by nice movie and cheese and wine and dinner and chocolates and talking and hanging out), then it sucked (primarily vicariously for me). Could've been far worse. Stuff that needed to get done at the time got done. Ended up mellowly and nicely for me, if late. Today was good, 'cept I was running on too little steam and ended up feeling pretty beat as the day progressed. Still, fireworks always make me happy to be alive! 'Twas an E3 (tm) adventure at the Mouse-House.

B-fast @ White Water Raft Snax in Grand Californian b'c the wait was too long in the usual Storyteller's Whatsitcalled (not so great)
