just what it needed to be

yesterday was the tenth valentines day i got to spend with rooster
woke up lazy and finished off the freelance work
then went to a memorial and let hearts and chosen family and love be the theme
then went to zza's in oakland for pasta goodness
back to sf with lazy couch cuddle and sleepy happy early with the dramatic rain

it wasn't the original plan
but it really was the exact day it needed to be

today i am thinking rainy day and movies on the couch

exercise in a mellow sunday

+ homemade bread from gram's recipe made and omg tasty
+ goat cheese spinach & turkey lasagne created, cooked, eaten and omg
+ veggie spinach lasagne created and damn it looks good - ready for delivery for tomorrow
+ walking the dog in the rain and the water feeling alive on my face
+ needing a quick run to walkgreens and having the car, cash and time to go do it without a lot of stress
+ rediscovering the old cd recordings of the radio shows including songs i had forgotten
+ calling instead of texting
- 2 hours window of sad melancholy (not romantic melancholy) for no discernable reason except dehydration
+ lifted weights / played accordion / drank water and killed the melancholy allowing gratitude and light back in
+ catching up on the weeks trashy tv with the wife in full couch cuddle mode
+ i think we're either watching almodovar's talk to her, life is beautiful or pandora's box still tonight
+ dog and kittens are so cuddly in this cold weather
+ some housecleaning done
+/- kinda wrote a new song but didn't write the music down
+ san rafael tomorrow to close out freelance job and get paid
+ new job with the GAYS WOOT! starts on tuesday.
+ day two of ten days of valentines (to celebrate our ten years together)
+ getting back on the horse with self care in a few different ways
