gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Good sleep last night.
That I didn't NEED to go anywhere today, as by the afternoon the wind was howling and would have made travel pretty hazardous.
I would normally have gone to see River, but it wasn't NECESSARY, and given the high winds it seemed best to stay home.
I did end up feeling pretty cooped up, though. Like today was just an extension of yesterday, one day blending into the next because there isn't enough difference. I hate it when that happens.
I did do chores just fine, in spite of the wind. At least it isn't cold, just windy.
I also decided to walk up and down our lane for about 20 minutes or so, boring as that sounds I needed to do something for exercise, since I wasn't going to be working with River.
By then my Sweetie got home.
He did a bit of work on the area above the sink where we will put another cupboard. The mess from taking down the heavy shelf needs to be filled and sanded and painted, so he put more fill stuff on it.
While he was doing that, I put in a load of laundry, folded some dry clothes, and finished patching a pair of shorts for him to wear around home this summer. They're kind of a favorite pair of his.
Then we ate and watched another episode of "The Orville".
As I mentioned, something about today had me feeling very frustrated about how solidly locked into routine our evenings feel, even though there aren't exactly a lot of other options for us.
On one hand, it's nice to have him come home, we eat, we watch a show, he goes to bed. On the other hand, it's also stagnating, and I don't know what would make that feel better.
He really only has so much time or energy during the week, and he IS also trying to go to the climbing gym, and he IS trying to do some work on the house, so he's doing LOTS. Most nights I'm fine with our routine, but sometimes I feel like we are very boring people.
