Feburary Good Deeds

So I realized mid way through the month I hadn't been working on my random acts.  Funnily enough I then inadvertently did one.  I was driving (more like barreling down the road) thinking about what I could do when I saw a dog and slammed on my breaks. Well, I don't run things down ever, but this dog was suicidal because he wasn't even trotting across the road. He looked at me and kind of smiled that "I'm a happy dog. You could just kick me and I would still love you" smile. I didn't kill the dog hooray for me! So here is where it is a half random act because what I should have done was stop and get the dog in my car and take him to his home. He had a collar and everything. He didn't seem to know where he was going, but I seriously didn't think of it until I was like two miles away. 

I decided I wasn't going to count that one, but then I did another half one so I figured it would be a whole and I could count the dog. I was just so proud to not hit that darn dog, maybe cause I made eye contact with him. I decided to pick up a trip because I wanted to rearrange my schedule and I thought if I picked up on Valentine's day I would be able to get the weekend off and go to Paris for a Valentine's dinner. Well I ended up working the weekend and I was still stuck with the Valentine's trip.  I went to take over the lady's shift when she totally was grateful for me picking it up.  She actually wanted it off for Ash Wednesday and was happy for Valentine's too.  I was totally stoked because I did an act of kindness without knowing it, so yeah it half counted.
 

My other full act of kindness had to do with a friend from the Internets. I was brave and met a girl from one of my Facebook groups (I so totally don't do the meeting people on the Internets). Anyway we had done something once before and now she wanted to go to The Heavy and Light Tour. She had no one to go with and I was afraid she wouldn't go (and it seemed like she really needed to).At first I didn't know what it was, so I was totally didn't want to go because I thought it was some touchy feely thing that I so didn't want to participate in.  I found out that it was a concert with a bunch of different artists, think of a super small Coachella. She was totally stoked to get out of the house and I was stoked to find a new band the Now, Now.  (Tera when you bother to read this the bass player in this band totally looked and acted like you if you were in a band.)  Unfortunately no pictures of this concert since I believe I should experience it live without viewing it through my phone.

I'm glad you didn't hit the dog, too. But getting a dog into your car isn't always that easy and can sometimes be dangerous for you so it probably all worked out for the best. Also- that concert sounds way cool and I wish I could meet people, on the internet or otherwise...
