This plan or this plan?? Which to choose??
Three hours later… Do we have to go out tonight?
No joke, we must be like 80 at heart sometimes. Well, I am, anyway. I was delighted that I wasn’t alone on my desire to stay home and just go to bed when I felt like it tonight (for once!)!
Also, how did we end up staying up until after 1:30?! Ridiculous. Haha

And then, just as you are about to watch a movie together for once, enjoying the evening spent relaxing together on the sofa, he tweaks his back and suddenly can’t move or breathe deeply without immense pain. And chiropractors aren’t open until Monday… At least we weren’t planning on getting a whole lot done tomorrow, almost all of which requires full physical movement abilities…oh, wait… yes, that’s exactly what we were planning to do…
Ugh…

Some days, you gotta dance. Live it up when you get the chance… but some days, you gotta ride bikes together… motorbikes, that is.
And boy, are those days great… ;D

Alas, I find myself snuggled up on the sofa with the youngest of these three black beasts who happen to be incredibly sweet when awake and loud when asleep. Hashtag snoring machines, I mean!
Woof-woof.
Post-a-day 2022
Usually spent with friends in bars or clubs, or at least hanging out at someone’s house or apartment, Friday night is a busy one for adults my age…
And yet, how do I spend it?
Mostly sitting on the floor in the corner of my bedroom, next to my phone (which is plugged into the wall), listening to an audiobook that I can’t seem to stop without immense struggle…
It is that good.
And yet, it is also rather intense and somewhat frightening at times, leaving me slightly paranoid at every sound I hear around me…
But it is oh, so good…
And I have no idea why I prefer an audiobook to going out dancing, especially when I had just said at the gym this evening that I must need to go dancing, since I’ve been dancing around to all the music at the gym lately…, but perhaps it is because I don’t have to put forth any effort for it, but dancing would require social interaction, driving, physical movement in dancing, and then also money…., and reading this book is free of monetary charge….
It takes only my time and my sense of safety and ease. 😛
Anyway…, I’m super tired, so I’m going to sleep now (the only reason I could get myself to turn off the book).
And then I can get up all the earlier to listen to more of the book before going to the gym (I know, I go to the gym a lot these days, but it is part of taking care of myself). 😛

– So, how has your weekend been?
– Well, yesterday, I went sailing, and today, I attended the Houston polo finals…. so, rather posh, I dare say…
(Totally hashtag posh, right?)
What’s funny about it, really, is that it wasn’t anything near as posh as it sounds.
The sailing was on an approximately 25-foot sailboat that belongs to a friend of a friend of a friend (technically an old coworker of the guy (super smart space engineers) my friend was dating for a while, but whom she isn’t really dating anymore, but they still sometimes do things together, like this)…
The polo match was because I’d found out about a Groupon for super discounted two-packs of tickets, and so I found a friend to go with me and live out another one of my “Pretty Woman” fantasies…
Both were quite hot and sunny, and much less interesting than they sounded at first, but were wonderful nonetheless.
And, because of them, I am able to go to bed tonight with a sense of silly giddiness at how funny life can be sometimes. 🙂
I don’t need to live that life, but it certainly is fun to have the occasional sprinkling of it here and there, and especially when I am able to share it with people I love. 🙂

I dedicate tonight to the people in our lives with whom we can easily live, and well…
I spent the evening first playing board games with people I don’t really know, but who also lived and worked in Japan, and then with a friend and her dog and cat, just hanging together at her apartment.
At no point in the evening did a television (or Netflix or whatever) come into play – for eight hours of enjoyment, I spent time with people, and we all had a wonderful time… and, you know, I didn’t even notice the whole tv part until just now…. cool…
How often are these normal evenings for us nowadays, let alone Saturday nights?
Driving home, I passed through the drunken playground that seems to be the Washington Avenue bar strip here on a Saturday night, and I was practically bombarded with the stupidity and danger that comes with the mixture alcohol, newly adulting stress, and the desire to be liked, all so prevalent in our early-twenties folks right now…
I was not disappointed at having missed out on that scene (not only tonight, but ever)…, and I might even have felt a hint of – was it pity? – something for many of the people I saw.

Oktoberfest…
semi-unplanned friend visit…
Mid-Autumn Festival…
car accident…
Earthdance….
… with origami and Braille, both taught by a blind man with a blind man’s wristwatch…
stopping for toilet paper…
and a house gathering…
all with a rain storm pouring over us off and on…
How was this only one day?
Post-a-day 2018
Sometimes, everything gets super stressful, and then goes to total sh**.
And then I accept it.
And then everything falls brilliantly into perfect placement.
So, perhaps it is time I just stop getting stressed in the first place…
Post-a-day 2018
You know that feeling when things really don’t go the way you’d anticipated them going, – any of the many scenarios you’d imagined – yet they still worked out okay in the end? I’m in the middle of it right now.
It’s such an odd feeling, really. It isn’t that I hadn’t imagined it going anywhere from horribly to wonderfully. I think it’s just that I’d expected more of a solid, clear result from this weekend’s events. I thought that I’d know for certain how I felt about it by the end of it. And yet, here I am, wondering how to describe it all. Parts totally sucked, parts were totally blah, parts were good, and parts were wonderful. It was all in there, I guess – practically every scenario I’d imagined had at least a little piece of itself presented during the weekend. And that made for an overall okay weekend. (I’m still secretly waiting for some kind of panic attack to ensue, or something ridiculous, it feels.)
I guess it was kind of like my diet has been recently, actually.
… and that brings me back to what I was sharing just the other day… no wonder my weekend went as it did, when my food and thoughts have been kind of like that recently, going all over the place, but averaging out to a reasonably contented middle ground, without being my desired stupendous. Hm.
