Always Worth Saving

Waking up early is so painful for me. I slept well last night, but not long enough. I made it to work on time, and had a good day nonetheless. I couldn't ask for much more than that. A good end to my work stretch, and now I've got two glorious days off. More than anything I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, and then maybe getting outside and taking a walk. I need a little time in nature.

After work, we took the kids to The Grub Hut for dinner. I had a veggie burger with spinach, tomato, avocado, grilled onions, and a slice of pineapple. So good. I love that I'm getting better at finding vegan options wherever we go. Its no so much about them having obvious vegan selections, but me being brave enough to ask for substitutions or accommodations. No one has told me they couldn't. Some are more knowledgeable and helpful, but no one has flat out refused to be helpful. I'm grateful for that.

When we got home I finally got around to using The Comforter bubble bar I got from LUSH last week. I thought it was a bath bomb and plopped the whole thing into the tub. Turns out it's a solid bubble bath bar that you only use a portion of for one bath. Now I know. I was sitting in some wonderfully luscious pink water, though. Next time I'm going to get some actual bath bombs (fizzy shea butter ones probably), and then only use maybe a quarter of the bubble bar. This makes me excited to go to LUSH again soon! Probably not tomorrow, but soon. I need more yummy, smell good stuff, and I'm starting to understand how the different products are used.

When I got out of the tub, Snookums and I had some adult time. I've lost a little weight, and he's lost a little weight, and the combination of the two means we're having much better sex. He's got better stamina and endurance. We fit together better, I feel better about my body. It's all good things. It makes me happy that something we used to enjoy very much, but started putting on the back burner is now part of our lives again. Intimacy is so vitally important. Sometimes when we're close it reminds me of all we've been through, and why our marriage is always worth saving. No matter what I do to sabotage it!
