You won’t be reading this until Sunday at the earliest but for me it’s Saturday and it’s quite nice outside – the cool kind of morning that calls for jeans and a hoodie when the day before was shorts and t-shirts and so you sit outside and breathe in the air and take the birdsong into your very soul as you sip your coffee and think: today. today I exist; today will be good.
Looking back at the week it seems like I just did my daily routine: go to work, come home, eat and clean and unwind, then go to bed so it can all repeat the next day.
And that’s just fine.
You might recall that last week I felt pretty good; that feeling lasted from Wednesday to Monday, and the fact it lasted nearly a week is glorious. Even when Monday came I still felt pretty good but then I had to look both ways before pulling out into traffic on my way to work and when I did, I turned my neck wrong, causing a day-long ever creeping pain, such that by the time the workday ended I wasn’t thinking straight and everything was making me mad.
When I got home I got on the floor; I have one of those curved things that is supposed to help work the knots out of your back. I used it several times over the course of the hour and the cracking sounds that came from my back were both surprising and somewhat painful but felt better than what I’d felt for most of the day.
Monday was also a pretty good day because one of my friends got me this Pusheen coloring book. I’m so grateful to have friends that know and encourage me. I may or may not share my coloring efforts (I have zero artistic ability in that regard) but it’ll be a fun escape for me, and that’s what it’s all about, right?
On Tuesday I was feeling better and even took a selfie:
Wednesday I went out to lunch and startled Father Goose:
On Friday a found a book and a green jar and a dvd at the thrift shop:
Over the weekend I got to spend time with my canine friend, Luna:
On Sunday Krystal and I had a date day, but it’s been rainy and I’m tired and want to do the day the justice it deserves so maybe I’ll post something about that mid-week.
What have you been up to?
