I went to my old workplace this morning to drink a raspberry white chocolate mocha and watch a puppet show my co-workers were putting on. It was cute and I miss working there. I would come back in a heartbeat if… certain things at the store changed.
Then I went shopping at Marshalls with the gift card my sister gave me for Christmas. I was there for an hour and a half, walking around trying to decide what to get, picking things up and putting them back, until I ended up with just a simple gray tank top and a lacy scarf. Which is why I shop by myself: I am super indecisive and perfectionistic and I take ages just to end up buying only a few things. Anyone who comes along quickly becomes cranky and impatient. (Prime examples: My daughter and my boyfriend. Neither of them were happy with me when I dragged them along to Macy’s yesterday.)
Nevertheless, I am proud of my purchases. They were necessary AND stylish. Score!
After a nice music-filled public transport home, I went for a run and ran 30 minutes straight. Not bad for not going for a run in… oh I don’t know how many months. Lots. More than I can accurately remember.
Water tastes so good after exercise.
Now I shall shower and maybe journal a bit and get my things ready to spend the weekend in Gilroy with my sister and nieces. We will have required morning coffee time out in the backyard with the amazing view and the non-wintry weather and I will eat good food in the evenings because my stepmom is going to cook delicious meals and my daughter will get to play with her cousins and there’ll be lots of laughter and happy fun times all around.
I need to break my run-on sentence habit.
