I Can Let Go

And just like that, my 3 day weekend is over. It's sad, but I think I'm ready to go back. I fee well-rested, refreshed, my mind is clear. I constantly need to remind myself that work is never as bad as I make it out to be in my head. Clock in - sell - clock out. The stressors I used to endure are gone. I can let go of that resentment.

I spent the better part of the day lounging around doing nothing. I made myself a nice breakfast (hashbrowns with avocado, a sweet potato with vegan butter and coconut sugar, and sourdough toast with vegan butter and Sue's apricot preserves). Snookums closed today, but we hung out most of the morning. He left, I took a nap, and when the kids got home from school I got dressed and we went to the farmer's market. It's become a cherished Thursday tradition I'm going to miss so much when the market closes for the season. Speaking of which, I need to find out when that is...

At the market we got 5 pints of blueberries, sweet peppers, tomatoes, long beans, cucumbers, and potatoes. The kids picked everything out. Which I find is ideal, because then they're excited about eating it! I wish we could have a garden of our own, but between the wildlife trying to eat everything, and my intense desire to avoid any interaction with Mary (our neighbor), it just isn't something I want to do badly enough. Someday, though. I told Snookums when we do finally buy our own home, I definitely want room for a substantial garden that's safe from forest pillagers.

After the market, I took the kids to Red Robin for dinner (it's one of the few places I can get something vegan that isn't a stupid, cold salad). Then, we went to Target to pick up a few things. I bought myself a new outfit for work. Like a $30 outfit is going to make me feel better about my 3 day weekend being over! Oh well, 3 more days until my next day off... I think I'll make it.
