Coherent Thoughts

I'm not sure what I want to write about today. So, I guess I'll just make words until coherent thoughts accumulate. I'm getting tired, and 3 straight days of getting up early is making me feel ever so slightly loopy. I'm not good at mornings, even with cannabis helping me sleep through the night.

I got off work super early today. I never get short shifts normally. An associate needed one of their shifts covered, and I agreed to switch my closing shift for her opening one. I didn't want to close, anyway. Her shift was shorter, and even though Sara wanted me to stay later (and I would have), we just didn't have the payroll for me to. So, I got off at 1pm today. Weird, but nice. I got to spend some solid quality time with the kids. Annie even came out of her room, which is more rare than a blood moon. She needed to talk about some things on her mind.

We mostly talked about religion, with a little politics and social hot button topics thrown in as well. We talked about how tough it is being an empath in a cruel world full of egotistical narcissists, who don't give a shit about anything or anyone but themselves, and their own selfish wants and desires. Yeah, Annie and I both have a strong hedonistic strain within ourselves, but ultimately we're hopelessly compassionate, and feel everything far more deeply than I'd wish on my worst enemy. Oh wait, I don't have any enemies. Yet another characteristic that sets me apart from so many others. Never in a million years would I consider myself better than anyone else. I'm not. I'm so very flawed. And yet, I struggle to understand why the world seems so hopelessly heartless. It's almost painful thinking about it at times.

Snookums closed tonight, Annie went on a date with Colin, so it was just Kiki, Keenan, and I tonight. I took them to dinner at Red Robin (their favorite). Then we went up to The Trails (a new shopping center in Silverdale) to check out Homegoods and Ulta. I'm surprised and pleased with myself for not finding a million things for the house (or more makeup I don't need). The Gig Harbor Homegoods has better stuff. I did find a mug that says "It's Good to be Queen", and we found some puzzles and sticker books for the kids (I think it's so cool they still get excited about those sorts of things), but other than that no new tchotchkes or furnishings. I did see this really cool desk that was clearance priced at $100. It would fit perfectly into our décor, but we don't need it. We don't need it. I'm going to keep telling myself that.

I keep feeling like there's something I'm supposed to be doing tomorrow, but I can't put my finger on it...
