Today is of those days, a good one of those days. I woke up to a warm, sunny morning. The coffee was delicious, from Peru I think. The papers were filled with the CDC announcement about masks. I finished the crossword puzzle but not the cryptogram. I took my time. It just feels like that sort of a day, a day to take it easy, a day meant to be enjoyed.

I was busy yesterday. I cleaned down the dusty, covered in pet fur stairs then gave them a quick wipe. I continued to work on the kitchen grout. I vacuumed the living room and the dining room. I didn’t mind. I’ve also been relocating stuff from the den. It will always be cluttered but maybe less cluttered. It was a satisfying day.

When I’m on the computer, the TV is also on but it can’t be on a program needing watching. I often get lost on the computer reading strange information I happened upon or doing a jigsaw puzzle or hunting recipes. All of a sudden it could be an hour later so I usually put on a movie or program I knew well so I can lose it but pick it up anywhere. I’m watching Star Trek: The Voyage Home, one of my favorites. I know a lot of the lines.

When I was a kid, I wasn’t all that moody. I saved that for my teen years. I was happy or sad or angry or some feeling in between. I didn’t know the word boredom, but I used to complain there was nothing to do. In school, my feelings were mostly on idle. It was just sit and learn and be quiet unless asked a question. It was only in the school yard at recess when we could let go. There was screaming and yelling and running. That was when I punched the kid. That was an angry me who would reappear years later but only once, a story for another day.

For the last year I have been by myself dealing with myself and have become quite familiar with all my different moods. There are days when I can’t bring myself to do anything. Those are my least favorite days. Yesterday I got so much done, a favorite day. Today I am celebrating my industry of yesterday. I feel almost buoyant. The sun is absolutely beautiful. The little breeze is just right. Everything is a bright green, even my car covered with pollen. My house looks clean, especially the stairs which seem always to be dusty. Even the hall is clean of dust. I’m so enjoying today.
