Woke up at 12:30 today, which is not what I wanted, but that’s okay. I wanted to wake up earlier, maybe at 10AM, make a coffee and read at my desk.
Instead, I showered, changed, grabbed my big shopping tote bag and trekked it to three different grocery stores to gather the ingredients for a tortellini salad. Turns out it’s kind of hard to find unsliced salami around where I am, so opted for some diced chorizo instead.
The salad turned out delicious and I ate it while watching an episode of “Overcompensating”, which I’m really enjoying. I put off watching it for a little bit because it looked too cringe and overdone, but I knew I would love it. Same thing happened with me and Heartstopper. This initial aversion to corny things seems to only ever delay the inevitable.
Went to the gym, video called a man I have a date with, and then finally spent some time reading (and drinking that coffee I missed in the morning).
Then went to hub for dinner and had some great conversations over chilli on pasta. Got to see Charlie for the first time in a while – haircut since his mini heart attack – and we finally got to talk for a bit after he drove me home, which was nice.
All in all a nice, slow day.
I love not working.
