How do I love thee Saturday... let me count the ways

Spring has sprung here in Toronto. Is there anything more perfect than a sunny Saturday morning in the springtime? Reminds me of the April many years ago when I was in Paris and sooooooooo in love, I thought I was dying (Paris though is just hateful under any other circumstance); fairly skipping down the Champs Elysee strewing daisies from my chapeau.

Anyhow, I digress...

I started my morning with a brisk 3 mile walk on the treadmill and then walked straight uphill 1.5 miles to a doctor's appointment (just routine, nothing to stress over) then 1.5 miles down the hill home. Enroute, I treated myself to a gorgeous New York strip loin steak, a $30 bottle of Australian Shiraz and a brick (a different kind of brick than you triathaletes write about.. lol) of ancient cheddar. (I don't need the calories but I've been a very good boy all week which is the more amazing when you consider that my job is becoming more hateful by the moment. )

I have to admit though, I wanted to slit my wrists watching all the very smart looking runners passing me by. And trust me, in Rosedale, they all tend to be ever so smart looking and fit as the day is long. Aaaarrrrggghhh... rich and good looking.... Yeah, life is so fair. I would have been happy, if even one of them that passed by was fat and wheezy...

For some of us, the best we can do is pretend to be rich. After just a wretched day at the office yesterday, I resorted to buying furniture to make myself feel better. Needless to say, I have now spent next year's bonus on a chair. One chair. I find that new chairs work wonders for one's flagging self-confidence... at least for five minutes.

Alas, this afternoon, I am drafting resume cover letters. Even as I am writing this post, I have no clear sense that leaving is the right course of action? Am I running away just because it's difficult? Is the devil you know better than the devil you don't? What if they make the decision for me... ACK!!! Questions, question, questions....

Anyway, enough gazing at my belly button and time to get to work. I hope you're all having a simply fabulous weekend wherever you are!
