Yesterday wasn't the best day, but not the worst either.
I stress ate (not the best), had an "emergency" with my volunteer court position (not the best), had some crappy chores looming (not the best) ...
... but I did the chores, handled the emergency as best as I could, stopped the stress eating by early evening.
And I added some "live this now stuff" -- shared greens and peppers with a neighbor, registered for the farm program for 2025, walked while I chatted on the phone with a good friend, cooked with the garden vegetables, painted rocks.
I'm planning a better day today. I found a last minute hike tonight. It's on lit trails that are flat -- nothing crazy. It'll be fast and a good de-stressor for the evening. The hike with hubby and the dogs is getting rained out tomorrow and I've been looking for more outdoor time. Dogs will be home alone and I'll hit traffic on the way home, but it's worth it. It's what "living this now" is about.
I've been reading -- nothing spectacular. I'll check in with book details when I read something that is really good. I have a stack of 5 books to pickup from the library today. All are non-fiction. Most I'll just scan read out of a little curiosity. I have one that I'm excited about and I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Today is THE DAY. No more wondering. Voting will be done and the next 4 years of who knows what will be underway. I've never been so scared for a US election. Not in 2016, not even in 2020. I'm terrified (big word, but it's not an overstatement) to wake up and look at the news tomorrow. I could hyperventilate thinking about that moment.
Please, please, pretty please let sanity prevail.
