I was up pretty early, but didn’t get out of bed for a while. Some meditation and relaxation on a day that I can sleep in. Then cereal for breakfast and then it was almost time for family zoom.
My brother only popped in for a moment, so it was mostly my parents and I chatting about what we’d been up to since we’d seen each other last. I gave them more detail on the laser procedure and the aftereffects for me. I enjoyed the time spent together.
I did my exercises after the zoom, and then did lunch. I did chores and played some videogames in the afternoon. I’m pleased to report that I vacuumed, cleaned the toilets and the bathtub, put away the laundry I started yesterday, and got my breakfast meal prep done. Since I’m using chia seeds in my oats, I added a lot more water than I usually would. I’m hoping to get the seeds full of liquid before they enter my digestive tract.
I realized today that there’s a bit of fresh grief popping up for me. I had to put some of my emotions aside this time last year when I was working to get off of supervised probation by spending every Saturday volunteering in Boise. Those emotions didn’t go away, they just got shoved down. Plus, being at St. Al’s for the eye appointment was heavy, especially seeing the helicopter land. So I’m crying a bit more, and I think that’s a good thing for me right now.
I have my first daffodil in bloom. I can’t tell yet if my lilacs are going to blossom or not, but they are growing. I’ll have to look at the lilacs at the hot springs on Wednesday and see if I can tell the difference between flower buds and leaf buds. I thought about going to the hot springs today, but decided against it. It’s been nice having a quiet day at home.
