A Good Day

[days_unfolding]

Hmm. Someone is selling a dresser for $25 in a moving sale that I like. It's black, not gray, but otherwise, it's what I want. I need to think about it. I found some other dressers that are more expensive but still reasonable. I found the absolutely perfect used dresser, but it's located south of Cincinnati. I think that I'd have to drive a U-Haul down there to get it. Sigh.

Mimi is industriously grooming me. She's on my lap.

I keep having headaches; I don't know why. It's annoying.

I finally have a committee appointment at work. Most of the staff has one, but I hadn't. Yay.

I had a great therapy session. During it, my therapist said that once my duties to my mom's estate are taken care of, my life can be anything that I want. That hit me hard and felt like the world was opening up to me. Anything I want! We also discussed my joining Stitch (I need to pay more to access the events that I want), and she said that she heard me saying that I wasn't ready for it yet. But she encouraged me to go to the Unitarian Church to check it out, that I don't have to make a commitment, but I should try it and see how it goes.

We talked about discussing what I want from a relationship at a later date, probably in the fall.

The handyman called me about some work that needs to be done to the basement of my mom's house. The once and future project. I've decided to go to Michigan for just a short trip rather than a long one. I'd have to travel either to or from during the week, but I still have a little vacation time left. I found a hotel that's a little less expensive.

Yoga went well too. I was the only student there, so I basically got a private lesson. I told her that I was enjoying it more than I had expected, and asked for her recommendations for books or videos on it. She gave me a couple. Then she said, "Teacher training is good even if you don't want to teach," but I have a long, long way to go before THAT. I floated back from yoga full of endorphins. I want to continue with these Park District classes rather than finding a yoga studio because they're cheaper and I like the teacher a lot. I bought some yoga books though.

I ran to the grocery store and picked up some salad, strawberries and bananas for a diet-friendly dessert, and a really expensive orange-carrot drink. If I like the drink, I'll try to make some myself using the very expensive and good blender that Lotus bought for Mom.

Studied Italian. I seem to be memorizing the verbs even without my flashcards. I need to put them in sentences. Next time. Now I need to do dishes, scoop the litter boxes, and go to bed.
