My Life Thus Far

Over The Moon

I can't get over how great of a day today was. Even work (the bane of my existence) went well. Nothing about it was all that different. I guess the fact that I'm happy in my personal life just spilled over into work life. I'm leery of placing too much emphasis on the happiness I'm feeling right now. It's all new. The novelty and allure of having dad living with us might wear off, and I fear that. But for now, I'm over the moon. It's so wonderful having him here.

I got to sleep in this morning. After a few days of little sleep, or interrupted sleep, it felt glorious. I was excited about getting up and seeing dad. Usually I have a tough time getting myself up and going, but it was easy today. I made tofu scramble on Greek flatbread and smoothies for breakfast. Dad and I came to a meeting of the minds on me being vegan, and what that means. He is totally cool with eating vegan meals, and doesn't expect me to compromise my ethics for him. He may still eat meat, and there's nothing I can do about that. I'm just glad me being vegan isn't going to be an issue. I didn't really expect it to be, but you just never know about things like this. Especially when you've never had the conversation (or any conversation on the topic) before.

After work, we walked down to Kitsap Memorial State Park to watch the sunset. It's really cool seeing dad experience Washington with new eyes. I love and appreciate the area, but he's seeing everything for the first time, and his wide-eyed appreciation is refreshing.

We did homemade pizza for dinner. It went over really well, and I got to spend some quality time chatting with dad, and laughing it up it the family. I had two glasses of wine with dinner (something I don't do very often at all), and I felt very relaxed and talkative. We all kind of were (dad was drinking whiskey), except Snookums. He seemed a bit gloomy and distant. I figured it was because he's tired, and still needed to work on a homework assignment, but he was still a bit of a Grumpy Gus even after finishing. Maybe he'll feel better tomorrow.

We're both off, and I need to think of something for us to do that dad will enjoy. Snookums doesn't seem excited about an adventure, so maybe it will just be dad, the kids, and I. I don't know. We'll see in the morning I suppose.
