I actually took it easy today.
Well, sort of.

This morning, Mom and Bill took their friends to a doctor.
I took this opportunity to scrub out the fridge and tidy the garage a little bit. I also cleaned out a couple of the bathroom cabinet drawers before I went for a walk.

I went down my dead-end street and a brunette called out to me. She mistook me for my little sister and seemed to be familiar with the family. Although, I have no idea who she is. The brunette claimed to live on the street most of her life and has at least two whelp children.

I have no doubt that she did and does, but she’s never been important to me so I don’t know who she is. Apparently, I am (or at least my family) is to her because she vaguely knew me.

Then, I went across the highway and was politely accosted by a man. I have no idea who he is and he doesn’t know me. But, he was spray-painting a Honda in his garage. I’m thinking that he called me over for a distraction. Fortunately, he didn’t tell me his life story but only hinted at it. Which was okay, I guess. Lee. I think his name was Lee…. was a minor annoyance compared to the woman who acted like she wanted to start a full conversation.

I didn’t want and generally don’t want to speak to anyone. If he wouldn’t have stopped talking to get back to work, I would have eventually wandered away.

After about an hour, I returned home. It was going to rain and started to about twenty minutes afterward. It’s rained on and off all day. Which is fine. I’ve seen tulips popping up… sometimes just stems and other times full blooms. The rain will help encourage the bulbs.

Tomorrow… I’m going to get up early and hit the gym.
Sunday is gym day although I’m meeting my baby brother for the JuJu movie. I haven’t watched the JuJu anime, but my brother says it’s like Blue Exorcists. I have seen that and am looking forward to it. Since his work schedule is crammed, I haven’t spent as much time with him as I would like to. The baby brother is like a comfort animal, really. Well, he’s not an animal. But, I feel really comfortable when I’m around him.

I don’t feel judged and can speak freely. I don’t feel like I have to guard my words in case they’re repeated to someone else.

The rain is really kind of throwing me for a loop.
It’s not the rain. I like rain. It’s the cold that came along with it. It’s making me feel thirsty and dry. My neck and shoulders hurt and have a vague headache. No, it’s not dehydration. It’s just how I seem to get sometimes when the weather swings like this.

It doesn’t bother me so much in Florida as the weather is usually hot and hotter and back to hot. But here, it does a bit… sometimes. But, that’s okay. It gives me an excuse to use the hydro lounge at the gym.

For something to feel good, there has to be a time when it doesn’t. Otherwise, the appreciation and wisdom to know the difference is lost.
