In Equal Measure

As I sit here mulling over whether or not I'd consider today to be a "good" day, or a "bad" day. I'm coming to the conclusion that it was just a day. Filled with both good and bad, in equal measure. To say it was a bad day would be totally negating the good there was. Even if I can't pin-point anything amazingly great about it, I've seen worse days.

I got a little more sleep last night than I did the night before, but not so much that it made it any easier getting myself out of bed this morning. I woke up hungry, too. But I'm still not allowing myself to run my blender when dad isn't awake. By the time I finished dressing and was getting ready to leave, he was up, but I didn't have time to do smoothie prep. I got another one at Starbucks. This time mango carrot. It was okay, but nothing close to the ones I make myself.

As I was ordering, I asked the girl taking my order to omit the Greek yogurt and add another banana. She asked if I was lactose intolerant, and I said "no, I'm vegan". She got so excited and gave me a high five! She just went vegan a couple months ago. It was cool meeting another vegan in person! I hope she sticks it out for the long haul.

I'm getting spoiled with short shifts, because after lunch today I was thoroughly over work entirely. 8.5 hours is just too damn long. It seemed like every customer was getting on my last nerve. Being rude, demanding, overbearing, you name it. The whole litany of bad behaviors. I kept telling myself that it was almost over 3 hours. 2 hours. 1.5 hours. 30 minutes. It felt like an eternity, but I finally made it. And now I have the next two days off. Someday I hope I have a job that doesn't leave me longing for and counting down until the weekend, but that's where I am right now. Holding on until whatever time off I get.

I'm done going on about my "same shit/different day" day. It wasn't awful. It wasn't great. It was meh. But at the end of it, I got to come home to a house full of people who love me. And for that, I'm grateful for.
