Taking It All In Stride

What a morning I had! Despite everything going on, I was actually in a very tranquil state of mind, and felt like there wasn't any reason why today couldn't be a good day. The power was still out when my alarm went off, so that meant no water and very little light in the bathroom. I was most definitely annoyed. Especially since the sun was out shining and there wasn't any rain or wind in sight. It's very irritating to always lose power. I miss the days when it was a once every 3 years kind of thing. Now it's a minimum of 3 times a year. It's not the power I miss, it's the whole running water thing. I'm not deluded enough to think I'm some kind of survivalist. I like running water! So, somehow I managed to "shower", wash my face, brush my teeth, and brush my hair with two ounces of water in my spray bottle (that I use to mist my hair). I don't wear much make up, and I always wear black, so once I quit having a hissy fit about the power STILL being out I got dressed fairly quickly, and had enough time to go to Starbucks before work.

The line at Starbucks was wrapped snaked around the bar in a way I've never seen it before. At least there was some consolation knowing that I wasn't the only one suffering. After a 15 minute wait, the barista messed up my drink and put caramel drizzle on it. I didn't freak about it. Normally, I probably would have. I think I was still pleased with myself for getting out of the house with enough time to even go to Starbucks, considering how much of a struggle being on time has been for me the past few weeks. I'm finally getting a handle on that.

In the parking lot at work, I slipped and fell. I got a cramp in my thigh from trying to catch myself, and two people saw it all. I still wasn't phased. At this point I was kind of impressed by how mellow I was being about it all. Talk about taking it all in stride. The rest of the day followed that theme of going with the flow. It passed by quickly.

I came home and took a looooooong, hot bath, and it felt fantastic. I plan on getting some good sleep tonight. I've been feeling inexplicably fatigued the past few days, and I'm not sure why. It all started after our trip to Cape Flattery screwed up my sleep schedule, so I'm hoping that's all it is, and my blood levels aren't dropping again. I've been feeling so amazing. I'm not willing to give that up again!
