I haven't been making many of those over the last few weeks; I've been spending my time, energy, and emotions poorly.
Today was different.
Today I got up with the purpose of living well. I started my morning here:
You can't see them in such a tiny picture, but there are pelicans on most of those posts. Just hanging out, doing what pelicans do.
Bennet was with me on the beach. Midway through our long walk we stopped so I could have breakfast: Greek yogurt and pineapple chunks. I brought it with me in a little paper bag. I set out Bennet's water bowl, and we sat on the rocks soaking up the sun.
I was going to go to church, but Stupid Puppy rolled in something funky. I gave her a bath and forgot all about that plan.
How do you forget about church?
I never would have done it before, but I did it today.
So not entirely a day of good decisions.
I went to Mod for a while. To work, but my computer battery died and I didn't have access to a plug. So I read a while and came home. I've been applying for jobs. It's not going well. This is my second to last week, and I don't even have an interview lined up.
It's a little terrifying.
Kyle says I can work at the center for a while, if I need to. I asked him. It feels not right, having to ask for that. I really want a job somewhere else. My island is beautiful, but I want to get away, to start afresh again.
I do that a lot. Start over somewhere new. I guess I'm a gypsy.
I'm not sure that's a good thing.
Anyway.
Bennet wants to say hello:
Alison gave her a faux-hawk.
I'm a fan. You?
