Fellowship or Camaraderie

My day didn't go as intended, but it was neither good nor bad. Just different. Actually, if I'm being perfectly honest, I'm happier with the change in events.

Originally, I was heading to Seattle to hang out with a friend. I enjoy my friend's company, and look forward to doing it again each time we part ways, but in general socializing is arduous for me. I don't gravitate towards fellowship or camaraderie. I kind of go the opposite directions. I woke up dreading the very idea of putting pants on. I kept reminding myself that I enjoy hanging out with Kimmie, but it didn't make the idea seem any more appealing. It didn't help that it was raining. I like Seattle best when I'm not getting drenched.

I made it happen, though. I put on clothes, like an adult. As I was getting ready to head out, Kimmie messaged me that she wasn't feeling well. She felt terrible about it, but I assured her it was okay. There were other things I needed to do, and we'd have plenty of opportunity to reschedule. And next time I'll be more receptive to the idea. This time around I was doing it because I felt like I had to, and I should. Until we reschedule I'll work on being a little more cordial. My socialization muscle needs some exercise.

Since I was fully dressed and on my way out the door already, I left even though Kimmie cancelled. I took myself for coffee, and then hit up my favorite home stores. Ross and Home Goods. I want to find some cute little shelves and a tranquil piece of artwork to put next to the bathtub. I was noticing last night while sitting in the tub that the whole area is a little uninspiring. I consider bath time to be akin to meditation. There's not sign of my personality in the alcove the tub is located in. As weird as it sounds, I want an aquatic mediation area. I didn't find anything right for transformation. I even stopped at the Poulsbo Antique Mall on my way home. Nothing. There was just a bunch of old, but not really antique junk. Nothing even worth anything. So the quest continues. I did find Snookums the king sized pillows he's wanted to replace (he's sleeping so peacefully right now).

I'm so proud of myself for mustering up the drive to do something I've been wanting to do for months! I came home dead set on getting my bathroom clean, organized, and efficient. I finally made it happen. Kiki helped me. Together we found the bottom of my shoe pile, got all my makeup cleaned and sorted, put into my new bin (that's been chilling in the bathroom, untouched). We got under the sink clean, and Kiki scrubbed the tub and shower all by herself. She was such a great help. It feels great having it done. It took a couple hours, but I'm feeling much better about life in general.

I took several hits before starting this, because my back is just insanely angry today. Nothing feels good, and I just want to experience some relief. It's got my head all foggy, and I'm so ready for bed. Sleep will swiftly become me in no time.
