I got to sleep in this morning thankfully. I chose not to do my run, granted, it was raining so that’s a fair excuse. all I had was work today. sundays, I work at doghouse’s sister restaurant, cassie bee’s. it’s the only day I work there but it’s also usually pretty busy. today was one of those busy days.

I got to meet two new coworkers who both have such unique personalities. it was such a treasure interacting with their energy, super rad people. while it was busy, I wasn’t overwhelmed really all day. I was actually surprised at the end of my shift that it was considered busy, totally understandable though, it was a busy day. my boss called me a trooper which I thought was cute.

ALSO I asked her if I bought myself plants, if she would take them when I leave. SHE SAID YES. guess who’s about to spend too much on plants I think I need. I definitely ended up with four plants. it’s okay, that’s all, I’m stopping now, I’m calling it. just so you all can keep me accountable, thank you. I’ll show you two of the plants I’m getting. I will absolutely be an issue to myself over these plants.

anyway, I had lots of fun at work meeting regulars and seeing some I met last week. oh and I did spill damn near an entire pint of bloody maria (bloody mary with tequila) so that’s cool. I really do have terrible coordination. I’m super clutzy in general which is also extremely frustrating. it’s not even embarrassing, it’s just annoying to deal with. this is definitely a learning curve, being kind and patient with myself.

a storm is rolling in currently, lots of thunder. I packed for school tomorrow cause WE’RE CUTTING HAIR FINALLY. I’m so nervous. I packed up my big ass backpack with all the tools I need. I have tomorrow morning off work thankfully so I get to sleep in and go to school and that’s it. woot!

I spent some time cross stitching outside in the sun, listening to music. I actually haven’t turned off my music since then. today, it’s not overstimulating, it’s energizing. my energy levels have drastically changed with my adjustments to daily tasks. overall, I think just being back in the desert has turned my mood around quite a bit. I’m SO happy to be back here. I walked around barefoot on soft desert ground last night. to connect bare feet to earth is one of the most comforting feelings for me. I’d walk bare foot all the time if I could, I really would. I’ve been training my feet here by walking around on the chunky gravel around the RV. it’s a lot of willpower to put yourself and your feet through, but to have tough feet and walk on anything is very important to my being. direct connection to this big world feels personal.
