under the crescent moon

i was feeling all MEH about losing my evening to work.i had been having such a good time until i had to come in for my shift this afternoon.i got to spend some time with one of my favorite people in the world.M is one of those people that you might not see for ages and ages,then when you do manage to get together,it is like no time has passed at all.she called me out of the blue while i was in the bath last night,telling me that she was at a bar,and all her friends had gone home and she wasn't done yet and that we needed to go out for a cocktail,so i agreed to meet her at the neighborhood bar.
i got there before her,and sat at the bar,cause the bartender is hilarious,and i thought i was perfectly safe from anyone encroaching on me until she showed,sitting with strangers and all,turns out the cute one is talky and the one beside me knows me from years and years back when i lived in this insane boarding house.understand that this was no ordinary boarding house,it was a house of complete insanity.but that is a story for another day....
so after being spotted,M showed up promptly and saved me.she is a wonderful human being,and made the talky boy and the guy who knew me from insanity house move down the bar to accomodate her,and we drank and contemplated the best pool to sneak into.in the end we agreed to meet for lunch today.so we went to lunch and went shopping today before i came in to work.i was not pleased to have my pleasant day interrupted.
i was getting into a kinda finky mood and we have been having some crazy person calling up here and talking mad shit,and we have a jerker(one who calls repeatedly while jerking off and talking dirty on the phone...occupational hazards of working at an answering service)but then i took my break,i walked outside and i looked up,and i saw the crescent moon hanging over the tree line.
it's the first night i have been able to see it in the sky since dark moon.every time i see baby moon going to bed in the sunset,i think that life is an amazing journey,despite crazies,and jerkers and people that recognize you when you would prefer that they didn't.i look around at the lush trees and i feel the heat from the pavement finally giving up and rising into the air.i watch the cloud sweep over the horizon like they are on fire and a little airplane high overhead reflecting the last rays of the sun that has already dipped below treeline for those of us on the ground and i think that it is truly a big and amazing world out there,and i am blessed to be in it.
