Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
The Worst Of It's Behind Me
Whatever was ailing me yesterday resolved itself overnight. I did end up sleeping in, and told myself it was okay that I chose sleep over hiking. Turns out the weather man was wrong, anyway. It was a drizzly day. Not at all the beautiful partly sunny day promised. I felt better about my decision to sleep in.
By the time Snookums left for work, I felt ready to get out and about. Even though I don't particularly like interacting with people, I also don't like sitting at home. I enjoy the relative anonymity of moving through the world largely unnoticed. Everyone is so busy living their own lives, I don't usually have to do too much interaction. I had a hazelnut latte (with almond milk) and a couple apple turnovers at the Central Market Café, then walked around downtown for a bit. Despite being an avid hater of all things holiday-related, I do like the way downtown looks with all the lights and garland up. It almost makes me wish I did like the holidays.
I went to Trader Joe's for a bit of groceries, then came home to hang out with the kids. That pretty much encompasses the rest of my day. It was quiet and uneventful. As I was going about my day of idle nothingness, I contemplated a few times over how lucky I am to be able to live the comfortable life I live. Even though we have our hardships, for the most part, I have an easy life. The worst of it's behind me. I'm grateful. As grateful as my brain chemistry will allow me to be.
