I Love It Here

Slept for 10 hours! Popped out of bed like a slice of toast hopped into a Midnights work-out followed by Olivia Rodrigo and even Post-Malone I had so much energy. Puhg headed out for his neighborhood walk in his orange cap. I sang in the shower to Red on shuffle. Sweet Potato woke up! We sat in the cream chair together. I read while she sniffed. Eventually I give her a slice of apple, me a plate of vegan bacon, and head to the coffee shop. I love getting there before 8:30, before any crowds. Puhg and I plot out the day, whether or not we'll see his cousin. We won't but they talk on the phone, near the bagel truck. I write out my Weekly Action Plan as I have every week for the past five years. The secret to my madness. We do our little puzzle and dream about the ocean. Several dogs have a conference on the sidewalk. I read a section of my wild woman book then tap away at revisions of an essay. I send it off to Gos, to see if it's anything. I have vegan buffalo wings with carrots and then we head to G______ to order new glasses. We went to the optometrist last week. It was Feb 10 but felt like Valentines sitting in the tiny office together. The frames I chose are bigger. I like them, but these are the kind of changes I always dread. We zip home in our grey bug, listening to the 80s station. walk down to the grassy knoll at the bottom of the park. I read more and journal about students I remember and eat apple slices in the sun. I listen to "Call It What You Want" and stare off at the skyline. An activist has left me a voice note about a project. I text Puhg asking if he wants candy for the movie later, he says why not. I walk the few blocks to the grocery store and pick up Sour Straws for me, Reese Sticks for him, Girl Scouts are outside. I buy a few boxes. The gals tell me they're hoping for a trip to Catalina Island this year. I smile crossing the hot parking lot, chatter at Puhg once I'm home. Now I'm in the bedroom watching Glow and writing this.
