myveryown_nemesisGood Morning, you Beautiful People!
I was going to mow the lawn today, but I just don't want to (sometimes, I'm ornery). So I decided to take today off, schedule the mowing for tomorrow, and reschedule the bill-paying for Thursday. It's supposed to rain on Thursday, so it fits. Today, I'm going to erase my to-do list except for the top priorities, then give myself a mani-pedi and see where the day leads me.
I'm feeling strong in my sobriety, iffy when it comes to food, and cautiously optimistic when it comes to spending.
I hope you find something beautiful in your life today, and as always, thank you for being here.

Date: 2025-04-09 02:05 pm (UTC)I finally did that mani-pedi (not a fancy mani-pedi, a skin-and-nail-care mani-pedi) I needed. I'll probably even paint my fingernails today after I shower; I haven't done that in months. I'll be mowing in the afternoon since it turned beastly cold overnight (I think it dropped down to the 20s for our low; it's currently in the 30s), so I spent the morning doing things to make tomorrow more productive (see the sobriety check in dated 4/9/2025). I expect that before the day is done I will remember all of the little bits and bobs of my body that feel all of their nearly 60 years.
You know, I think that this is the first time that I've come up on a decade birthday that is affecting how I think of myself. It's not an "oh, noes, I'm so old" sort of thing; it's more of a "holy hell, how did I get here?" sort of thing. It feels really weird knowing that I'm turning 60 in June--just blows my fricking mind.
Be kind to yourself today, Jackie. You deserve it.
