Today, I had one of those moments where everything is going suspiciously well. I’ve been feeling way better from my sickness, I had no homework, and I was feeling calm and relaxed. So, naturally, something had to be wrong.
I ended up stress-strolling (it’s one of my superpowers!) up to rock canyon (again) and turning over my entire future in my mind, picking up every possible thing that could ruin it like lint on a wet stress ball. I got to the top of my walk, realized how heavy my breathing was, and just stared out at the valley for a minute.
It was dark, windy, and there were flashes of yellow lightning flickering over the mountains across the lake. All of the houses in the suburbs below me speckles of yellow light in every direction, and the street lights were a soft orange. It was beautiful, and I was okay.
So the panic is at least temporarily over. The rate at which I swing through and resolve large emotions is thrilling.
Anyway, this is going to be a relatively short entry but I figured I’d tell for the sake of everyone wondering what a smart, college-level person with a proper budget, time, and ingredients made for dinner.
I had two grilled cheese sandwiches and a bowl of Mini Reeses Puffs.
Yep.
I would love to pass this off as any of the aforementioned requirements not being there, but the truth is I was just tired and didn’t want to do anything else. It’s okay, I’ll blast through yet another bag of frozen peas like they’re popcorn tomorrow. I do that a lot.
I made a goal to write an entry in this blog every day, but that doesn’t mean I have been philosophical thoughts I can put to paper (screen?) every day. So I imagine sometimes they’ll just be short ones like this.
Goodnight!
Small note: the previous entry is dated as being October 22, but that is because I posted it late at night and the blog’s clock is a little screwed up. In fact, a few of them are probably a little off. I’ll try to start writing the actual dates at the bottom.
