my brother-in-law was going to visit this weekend but had to back out. was kinda looking forward to him coming up for a few days. he is a cool kid (kid? try early 20�s) bit of a goofball, but i like that in a person. spent some time with him the last time he came up & had a blast. hoping he�ll make it here before i leave for Chicago (or after i get back). spent most of last night outside. was home for the first half of the evening working in the garden, then headed to the coffeehouse & hung outside till closing. was very relaxing & a nice chance to just unhook the head for a short while. still feeling edgy, but getting a little bit better. looking forward to the drive to chicago. i think a road trip is just what i need right now. drive for 16 hours, check in & get some dreamless sleep, then dive into a week of poetry & friends. there is something about nationals that makes me feel recharged. i think it is the feeling usefulness. i feel useful at nationals. i help out with what i can & feel like my help is appreciated. it is nice to be wanted every now & then. lazy night of painting ahead. finally got caught up with most of my backlog, so i can relax without feeling too guilty about it. it should be cool enough tonight that i can turn off the AC & open the windows. i woke today in a bad mood. spent all morning fighting the creeping doom that fills my chest. still feeling a bit off, but with all that said� right now i feel very relaxed. i don�t know how long it will last, but i�ll take what i can. hope you all have a good evening. be well. Mall walking. How perfect! Staying fit without having to take your eyes off the merchandise that got you out of shape in the first place. |
