Mornings
Upon awakening, the first thing I usually do is go pee. Then I sit on my bed in a stupor for a few minutes trying to wake up. Sometimes I get on my phone and scroll around, play candy crush, fart around on Facebook or Twitter or whatever to wake up. Then I realize that I better get a move on, throw some clothes on, grab something quick to eat if I have time and head out the door.
I'd like to change that. I want to wake up in the morning and feel happy and joyful again. How do I get there? I can't remember. The times I do remember where I woke up happy and excited and energized and hopeful were when I had something or someone to look forward to. Something fun, or mentally stimulating, or the anticipation of something that I knew was going to be great. Having a date. Going on a trip. Shopping for fun things, like antiques or home decorations or new clothes. Painting. Seeing friends. Going to the beach. Learning something new. Any number of a zillion things that I still sometimes do, and look forward to, but it's not the same anticipatory fun excited feeling. It's hard to explain.
Liz asked me if there is anything fun going on this weekend. My first two suggestions were shot down for different reasons. So, I am going to look around the surrounding areas and see if there is something that's even mildly entertaining. Sunday is looking like the best day, weather-wise, for a road trip. Saturday looks dreary but I am sure there is something fun we can get behind. All I know is, I don't want to drink...there's far too much drinking going on in Kimmie-land lately and I do not like it. Maybe I can convince her to go antiquing with me so I can find fun things for my apartment. We shall see!
