Mentally Better Today

I loved those bats in Samoa
I loved those Samoan bats – the things that look like fruit are really bats.

Mentally, I am better today. But, I was pretty sure I would be. It is still cold and rainy. Except for a little brisk walk to the grocery – I stayed in today. Way in. As in, in my apartment. I went to the gym at 0615 and knocked off my 10,000 Fitbit steps. Plus got some good endorphins running around the brain. Then I went to breakfast. And off to the grocery next. Then I went into my apartment – closed and locked the door and I have been in here ever since. I made my own lunch and got room service to bring me soup and sandwich for dinner. Sunday dinner in the restaurant is a zoo, because only one restaurant is open. Room service works great – it just costs $4. Well, I’ll cheerfully pay $4 to avoid having to deal with the crowd. I know Carlton – you are kicking up a fuss over there in Georgetown. Trust me. I can afford $4. For what I paid to park your car at our old apartment – I can have room service EVERY night.

So, I napped. I listened to a audiobook. I read and I messed around with my photographs from last year. Hence, the bat picture. And, the American Samoan Mickey D’s on Xmas Morning. I think I had Xmas breakfast there. Gotta love Egg McMuffin and Coffee any morning of the year.

The new, post tsunami, Mickey's.

Tomorrow is another day and another week. Lots to do at work. And, I learned a good lesson today. I can stay in my room. I don’t do group things well. I never did group things well. And, now I live in a great big group home. It is necessary for me to get away from my 500+ new best friends from time to time. And, Sunday is a good day to withdraw from the community.
