An Interesting Day

What do you do when you have conflicting self-care needs? You want to spend as much time as possible with your BFF because she’ll be gone soon, and it’ll be months before you get to see her again, but you also need some alone time to recharge your introvert batteries.

Or you want spicy time with your significant other, but you haven’t gotten more than five or six hours of sleep in days and you have to get up early in order to start work on time in order to end work on time in order to make it to an important appointment without taking more leave than you absolutely have to because your leave balance is low.

I’m pretty sure those are two of the longest sentences I’ve written in a long time.

Also, I recognize that I am blessed to have these be the sorts of issues I’m struggling with in my daily life.

I am working on trying to find my balance, but when you throw in happenings like dogs who decide to roll in another animal’s poo when you’re just about to unload a large cabinet out of the back of your SUV, or a cat who has decided he is tired of his canine roommates and it’s time to terrorize them, it makes for an interesting day, to say the least.

Bestie and I finally managed to get to the ceramic painting place and had a great time. I can’t wait to see the final results. If my pasta bowl turns out well I’ll go back and make a full set so we can serve our guests the only meal I know how to do well.

I did order a multi-cooker recipe book so I can try my hand at that. Tennessee assured me yesterday that it’s not my job to cook for her and I know this to be true, but I kind of want to; there’s a part of me that would love to be the domestic goddess type. I rebelled against that when I was younger, so I don’t really have the skills, but I do make good pasta dishes. Time to branch out…maybe find some rice dishes?

I fear I am rambling now so I’ll end this by saying I love this new phase of my life and I can’t wait to find my rhythm.

Be well, my friends.
