Sunday

Yesterday was a perfect day. The only thing that could have made it better was if the sunset was more vibrant (not really an issue). It was a wonderful day!! It must have been the sun, or the rewarding feeling of getting to relax and do exactly what I want after a long week at work.

I work at 8:30 and got my Sunday New York Times. I listened to the Pacific Island music program on WCBN where they played gamelan and the like. Then at 10 I switched the station to WEMU to listen to Dr. Arwulf and the Sunday Best. At the end of the program he made me feel so good by saying, "It's a good day to be alive. Aren't you glad you're in your skin? I'm glad you're alive." I felt so wonderful after that, and after listening to Fats Waller. This whole time I was reading the NYT. I've been keeping my little widdling knife that dad got me for the birthday while I read the paper, and when I see a phrase or picture that I react to, resonates with me, inspires, motivates, validates or I find beautiful I cut it out. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. A collage seems in order, or maybe putting them all together as a story would be funny. Suggestions?

Mom and her friend came in and we talked for a little while, and now I am looking into raising peacocks (or other various bird eggs that I can make a profit off of), saffron and cardamom. I think local saffron would be a hit around here.

I started to get tired in the afternoon so I allowed myself the indulgence of a nap. I layed on the couch and turned on TCM where the movie Dear Heart was playing. Great movie! I recommend it!














I tried to read some books but to no avail. I decided to check off another task on my to-do list: ironing. I have so many clothes I've never ironed but have always needed it. I set to it, on the floor in front of the TV where I watched Tammy and the Bachelor. Very interesting movie in the way she spouts about god all the time. It's set in the south. Not many movies at all are set in the south today, so that was interesting. It's just a silly light hearted film about an amazing girl and romance.











Ironing a laundry basket of clothes took about 4 hours! Wow. But it was great. I watched great movies, and the color of the sky change from day to dusk to night. Between dusk and night I took a quick rollerblade around the neighborhood. That was great! I'm excited to do more and use my blades instead of a bike. I didn't even fall last night, though there were some close calls.

Finally, right before bed I did some yoga and that felt great!
