I feel like I had a good sleep and I took an annual leave day from work.
also there is pancake batter in the fridge and I am going to make pancakes for my boyfriend and I for lunch
Went for a nice walk today in the more quiet parts of town near the water, it was cathartic. I also befriended a fat cat. (My life is so sad lol) but it was adorable.
I got a lot done today. One of those things was applying and getting accepted into a university here, to finally, finally finish my degree lol. I'm just way too old to be doing this...way too old, I'm twice the age of most of the students on campus. But. Oh well. Here we go, onward and upward. Lets see if my short term memory loss gets in the way lmao. I need to finish my degree though. I'm, like, 12 or 15 credit hours away from my bachelors degree, that's all. I should've finished it years ago. Maybe this time around. I'm so, so anxious about this. But otherwise happy I'm finally doing it.
My job is in outside sales....so, I have a couple of stores on Galveston Island that I decided to do today. Then I took off my pants (had swim trunks on underneath lol) and went to the beach.
It was pretty amazing. An awesome thing to do on an idle, random Wednesday. I searched for seashells and found a couple of pretty awesome ones. Went into the water to my knees. Got some sun. Fed the seagulls. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon after work. If I had my way I'd live on the beach. Seriously.
It was nice (((hugs))) back to you. Hope you're doing well.
It was sort of bittersweet too. One of my favorite memories of my ex-gf before she passed away was our day at the beach (the same one I was at today) with family and friends, not long before she passed. It was just a perfect day, beautiful blue skies, cool, surrounded by loved ones, sipping Bud Lite Lime beer with her. Her on my lap in a lawn chair. Laughing with, talking to her kids. I miss her. So much. But....it's OK. I'm surviving lol. I handled it OK, even with the memories and the flashbacks I had today. A few years ago I wouldn't have even been able to go to that stretch of the beach without being a wreck. I did OK. It was nice to relax a little, and to think back on the good times we shared there
Thank you, TE. Yeah, she would. She probably wants to see me get better, to be able to heal in some ways. I really don't think she meant to cause me any pain or heartbreak, I think....anyway.....I don't want to go down that road right now....
I think she would be happy to see me there today. I think she was probably with me, in a way. Thank u for the kind words. (((hugs)))
