Today, two of my friends, who, by the way, did not know each other for the first several years that I knew both of them, got married.
It was really neat to see that happen today after everything I’ve known and experienced with each of them separately, and then the few occasions of them together recently.
The world is happy for this, and I love it.

It feels weird: I’m going to a wedding tomorrow, but not to take photos…
I don’t have to be there hours and hours before the ceremony.
I just have to show up when it starts.
Seems so boring in comparison…

Tonight, the OCD within me has done me some good – by going that extra step with various cleaning tasks tonight, preparing for guests, I earned some “serious roommate points” from my housemate. 😛
Win-win situation for us, and it was caused by my OCD.
OCD was a good thing for once!

It’s kind of ironically delightful at times, when things get all twisted out of the ordinary way.
My aunt and I, both of whom dislike shopping, found ourselves out shopping together for quite a while this afternoon, during my visit that was designed for us to hang out and relax together.
And yet, we enjoyed ourselves today, despite the fact that we got home exhausted in the early evening… it was nice doing something like shopping with a co-conspirator of the non-shopping sort. 😛
Besides, when we got home so tired and so hungry as we were, I commented that I didn’t really feel like making any food, and that I really just wanted some biscuits and gravy…, and my aunt definitely agreed, so my uncle made us a super duper breakfast for dinner. 🙂

Word of advice: Accept gifts graciously.
Whatever you may do afterward with a gift, that is up to you entirely.
But allow the giver to give to you the gift, and the gift to accomplish its task of being given, even if you don’t want the gift or feel you don’t need or deserve the gift – accept both offers graciously, and the world will be a happier, more love-filled place.
It might seem a tad ridiculous, but, if you have given a genuine gift that was not accepted kindly, you can understand what I mean.

Tonight, I shall sleep well, and I shall awake in the morning well rested.

I don’t even do CrossFit, but I watched the end of the 2018 CrossFit Games today, because my brother was super excited about it, and he attended it all weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. Not even four minutes into it, I was balling. And, from that point onward, I continued having bouts of extreme tears all over the place until the very end of the Games. It’s just that kind of thing. I’ve done and been part of plenty of sports to be able to relate to so many of the feelings and situations and emotions, that I felt as though I could feel their struggles and successes. Add the comments about how the whole goal of doing CrossFit is to be better as a person than one was yesterday, and it’s just a total tear fest.
I’m still not sure that I want to do CrossFit myself, but it was really neat to watch the nonsense that was the final round of the 2018 CrossFit Games.

As we discuss the concept of drinking alcohol, he says, “[…] What else do you do in your twenties?”
The irony of the statement misses neither of us, as we simultaneously recall that neither of us spent our own twenties drinking alcohol.
😛
I mean, it isn’t that I’m necessarily opposed to the drinking of alcohol, even for myself… I just kind of don’t do it… especially if I am going to be driving, because that, to me, requires a 0.0%.
My friends never mind it, of course, because this has made me a natural and willing designated driver, ever since my first year of college. 😛

My mom, my oldest brother, and I had a semi-spontaneous sleepover last night, when my brother was visiting Texas for work (but about three hours away from Houston), and we decided to make a miniature event of his being drastically closer than Wisconsin.
After spending the evening together and with a couple other family members, the three of us stayed up talking for another two hours after the lights were out…
It was a really good night. 🙂
Love family.

If ever you feel sad, lonely, and/or unworthy, take a visit to small town Texas family.
On more levels than I could express, you will be warmed to your core, and overflowing with abundant love and kindness.
❤ Texas, ❤ Family
P.S. Because it really is okay to leave the big city from time to time.
