gold star day
maybe it's putting on my all-time favorite record, maybe it's putting on this dress given by a friend, maybe it's the turkish eye chain i was given (that i couldn't stop looking at), maybe it's the bright red door that showed itself to me as i headed out of the day's last meeting...
i'm not sure exactly how things turned around but all this negative energy i was feeling just drifted and made room for this gold star day and i wanted to write that down again, because these things happen and sometimes i forget that there can be days like this, i can own this, i was in this, and maybe, partly, i also somehow made this.
it was a beautiful day for meetings, after which we made a quick stop at sugarleaf, a new organic store in Wilson.
after my disaster with the beef i made chicken and it tasted just right for the first time. i hate handling chicken it's like murdering a child, i hate cooking chicken it takes very long - but i did it right this time and i don't know if it's that bit of chili oil i fried the garlic in, or it's the right amount of heat or that i seasoned it quite well before cooking. i'm getting better at making food that is actually pleasant to eat. :)
i took a melatonin capsule and i'm starting to feel its effect. i hope it solves my sleep problem. life would be so much grander if i can get at least an extra hour of uninterrupted sleep :) and i'm excited to wake up and choose between two kinds of tea that my sister brought home for me. :) i hope it's another gold star day - it's dar's birthday, and we are going to make the most of it.
