"I’m trying to take my own advice about love and hope
and the hope of love and the love of hope. "
-Dave Smallen

Days off are better than they used to be.
I sure appreciated actually sleeping last night, and having no nightmares, which is a change from the last six days. I got up late, did dishes and listened to good oldies from early highschool days. I ate mashed potatos for breakfast, and drank coffee with a big scoop of ice cream in it. I mean, why not? And then pulled laundry off the line, read a book, and watched a movie that made me glad I'm not wasting my life on drugs or alcohol. Took a walk in the heat of the afternoon, to pick up some prints that got way screwed up. I'm not happy about it, but I'll get over it. It's been a nice day to rest my mind from thinking. As Steele would say, I'm happy enough for me.
