Song: “Ballroom Blitz” by Sweet
Mood: 7 to 7.5
Today has been a decent day. I woke up once last night from a nightmare but the rest of my night seemed to go pretty well. Today felt like a really lazy day, though. I didn’t do a heck of a lot, just sat around and chatted with J and took a nap in the early afternoon (which was really nice).
I’ve got a lot of stuff to do this week. I’m behind on laundry (again), need to pick up some groceries, go for my Dr W appointment, and go for blood tests. I think I need to squeeze a motorcycle ride or two in there somewhere just for fun.
I also want to get back to welding. The garage is almost ready for me to hang my blankets and screens, and I’ve got an unopened box of 7018AC rods that I can’t wait to try out. J has a couple of things she’d like me to build for her, and I have a couple of projects to work on, too. It’s been a while since I did any welding, though, so I need to run a bunch of practice beads before I get to actually trying to build anything.
I’ve probably said this before, but I really enjoy welding, even if all I’m doing is running beads. Once the mask is down it’s just me and the arc. Therapeutic in its own way.
This coming weekend J is considering heading out of town to see her parents. I’m looking forward to seeing how I do by myself – it’ll be the first time since I got out of the hospital that I’ve been on my own for a weekend. Just typing this up is probably making more of a big deal than it really is but I see it as another step forward.
I think that J and I are going to watch an episode or two of Community this evening. We’re nearing the end and I’m not sure if I want to see the last episode. I just want to think of the characters as continuing on and having more adventures together. I really like that show.
Stay safe!
