Song: “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” by The Clash
Mood: 7.5
Nightmares: 0
Ghosts: Several
The weekend went by very quickly but it was good. J and I had success both in accomplishing things and in getting some relaxing in. The weather was cooler than it has been but the air smelled nice and it was very pleasant. The garden is coming along, and we tried take-out from another restaurant, which was also pretty good. I didn’t sleep all that well but I didn’t have any nightmares, so I think it’s still ok.
Today was a good day, too. I slept through my alarms again (I’m beginning to suspect they’re not working), but after a bit of panic I had things in order. FA came by with burritos around noon and we talked about everything from sergers, to dealing with enormous datasets, to religion… and almost everything in between. We even blew the dust off the Carcassonne box and played a couple of games of that, which I quite enjoyed despite getting absolutely mangled the first game and losing the second. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable afternoon, and I had a good time.
J got home around 4:30PM and the three of us talked for a while longer before FA headed for home. J experimented with macaroni shells for supper (which turned out really well), and we talked about our days and how things were going. It seems like some of the rough stuff that’s going on at J’s workplace has calmed down for now and she’s able to relax a little more than she has been for the last while.
She worked on some of her art projects while I played a little STO, and then we went and watched another Stranger Things. I am really impressed with the show so far, although I just heard that it’s been renewed for a third season and I’m not sure how they’re going to keep up the pace that they’ve set so far in the first. A good thing is that J and I have quite a list of shows and movies to watch so if Stranger Things goes off the rails, we’ll be able to switch to something else.
So today was a good day and a good start to the week. I have an appointment with Dr C tomorrow afternoon, and I hope to talk with her about moving appointments to every second week because I’m still quite uncomfortable with that idea. I spoke with J about it and she had some good observations and ideas, so I think I’m going to jot down the questions and thoughts so I don’t forget.
Stay safe.
