I woke up without an alarm. Though I did leave my phone on vibrate so I was listening to it buzz once my nightly do-not-disturb turned off. I spent about an hour in bed just messing around on my phone. Then I forced myself to get up and get moving.
Didn’t do much through the late morning and afternoon. Just ate food and drank tea and water. Watched television.
In the evening, my brother, sister-in-law and I went to Morton Arboretum’s Illumination. More than just Christmas lights, though there were plenty of those as well. It was very cold, and snowing just enough to make sparkles in the spotlights crossing the sky.
Except for the migraine that is trying even now to take root, I had a very good time. We walked the loop twice despite the cold. A good time. Then we got some dinner and headed home.
At one point, my brother asked me what I was thinking, and I told him, honestly, that I was thinking of Ambrose. But when he asked for details, I did not share those. I was thinking of some intimate moments early in our relationship via a convoluted thought process.
I hope the headache goes away overnight. If not, I have the medication I can take for it. But I need to drink a lot of water with that, too. I’ve been drinking less here in Chicago. I’m so off my routine. I ate well today though.
