Me Time

I know, I know, this is not healthy at all; I mean, eating your meals in front of TV, or in this case, computer.

But oh boy, did I have a great time!

Felt pretty good with my last session after I had complained to A about not wanting to work with couples. She said she didn't like working with those couples when all they do in the session is to blame the other person. Mine did exactly that today, but we also got some other positive things done so that was good enough for me.

On my way home, I did all the things that made me happy and thought, after all, life is good.

The library is right across from the office so I walked over. Felt really happy to see people reading; not so much for the fact that they are reading for knowledge, but more for the fact that they can find a quiet corner for themselves and enjoy themselves. You can call that projection but today I feel full of joy and I don't really care. The library is so new and clean and quiet. I walked around and soon left without borrowing any books but I was happy anyway.

Went to Starbucks to grab some coffee and that always feels good. Now my car smells coffee and I just love that.

Been wanting to go to the Salvation Army store and today seems to be a good day to go. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw this manual coffee grinder. I had been looking for one for some time now. For under $5 I got it. No tax, even. My heart swells a little more.

Went to the neighborhood Indian grocery store to buy curry. The store is small, but well stocked, and the keeper speaks English English, not Indian English and I had no problem understanding him. Whew! My culinary imagination started to run wild and I was extra nice to the store keeper because I knew I would come back, and also because, well, I was very happy.

Came home to finish what I had started last night -- my pork/soy bean dish with the curry I had gotten. In twenty minutes, I wanted to climb to the roof of my house and shout "Anyone care for some good food?" The dinner roll was also home made. Can you believe that! I felt very narcissistic but I guess it's okay to once in a while feel that way.

Chef John manages to always make me laugh. So what's a better place to have lunch than in front of the computer, watching his food blog?

I even washed my car today, using only one bucket of water. Didn't get myself all wet, and felt good for having saved the world some water. (Honestly, I wasn't thinking about my water bill at all. )

So who cares I had lunch in front of my computer today.
