My Life Thus Far

Weed and Alcohol

It's late (after 2am), but I still feel compelled to write. Especially since today was such a great day! Business was slow at work, but instead of being upset about it (like I usually am), I let go and accepted the situation for what it was. I can't control who comes into the store. It's senseless to get upset about it. No, I didn't make my sales plan. But, so what. The weekend is coming and I will exceed it, and make up for yesterday and today (both near misses, but still misses). I'm very pleased with myself for being able to release this burden from myself.

After work, I felt like doing something fun with Snookums. Even after a full day of work, I still had energy to do something I wanted to do. Considering how sick I've been the past year, this is like a dream come true to me. Finally having some control over my life! Yes! So, my husband (being the entirely predictable man that he is), actually surprised me with a trip to Seattle for dinner. I was even able to get reservations at my favorite restaurant (The Pink Door), which is ALWAYS booked solid. Clearly the universe felt like this was supposed to happen.

Since we had a fair amount of time before our 10pm reservations, we had drinks at Kells pub across the alley. I'm not a drinker. I haven't socially drank in many years, but for some reason I feel like an integral part of me widening my perspective and experiencing life to the fullest, also means embracing some of the things I've shut myself off from. You know, like weed and alcohol. I'm not really living dangerously, but considering how straight and narrow I usually am, it's like I've gone off the deep end. I love it! Yet somehow, even though I've let go a great deal, it feels like in the release I've gained some stability. At the very least, emotionally. Even if nothing much else around me has changed.

And now, I'm going to spend some more quality time with my husband. Because, really... there's only one more thing that could make this night better.
