i got up and said my prayer at the kitchen table again, just because i needed to use the bathroom first thing. i had started my coffee way before i was out of the bed, and i had a cup and some water as i took my meds and did my readings. my plan was already set so i didn't have to do a lot of brainwork today. but i still managed to squeeze in some.
i'm proud because these blues are not off me, and i felt the spiritual lethargy trying to put me back in my sleep mode, but i got out and did this shit anyway. i had breakfast, i took a shower and shaved, i gathered clothes and put a load in the washer, i dressed and got out the door. Lonnie was doing worse so he wasn't going, so i decided on Niles today. went to Big Lots and got most of the stuff i needed. didn't find lamp shades there, and forgot to put bath mats on my list, but i can get that anywhere as well. i was going to just hit stores, but i still feel the emptiness when i'm just walking aisles by myself. so i went north, called my mom but got no answer, went to Goodwill but found no lamp shades and no medium sauce pot. i went to Sav-A-Lot and got dinner stuff for tomorrow and i had lunch while i was in Liberty. then i went to the meat market on my side of town (how strange) and got a chicken cut up because you can't seem to find one in a local store anymore. i went to Dollar General for a couple things and came home. unloaded the car mostly, started doing prep stuff and just brought my clothes from the dryer, where i put them when i got things put away. now i'm going to put clothes away, put a trash can upstairs in my office, take supplies upstairs, keep an eye and a nose on these greens and i'm going to get ready to fix myself some dinner in a very short while. i feel good. spent some cheese but got some things, so i can't complain too loudly. and i thank my Father for proving again that if i just deal with what's in front of me, what's behind me will take care of itself. i'm gone.
