yo. Guess I've had a pretty good day so far. Besides having to deal with some chaos as a literal fire was being fought downtown. But I had a nice meeting with my therapist, and he noticed a positive change in my demeanor from last week. Last night I found $10 on the sidewalk downtown, so today I treated myself to 2 new menu items of places I frequent that I've seen advertised but was unable to try before due to lack of money. Got a Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino at Starbucks, and I had a triple thick brown sugar bacon BLT at Arby's. Both good. The only disappointment I had when I was checking out a used/rare bookstore... I love places like that, but it was so much smaller and more disorganized than I expected. A little sad, but that's okay. Coming up for this weekend I have a volunteer orientation for the animal shelter coming up tomorrow afternoon, and I might be going to a baseball game Sunday afternoon since the SF Giants are in town. Not 100% decided on the game, but I'm leaning towards yes.
A lot of times I will listen to Blue October when I'm feeling down. Their older songs remind me that I'm not alone in feeling depressed, and their newer songs (like the one I quote in my signature) are a lot more hopeful and positive. When I'm alone I'll almost always sing along with the music. Blue October is good to sing, but I find songs by Jens Lekman to be particularly fun, and I also have a good time with The Magnetic Fields in particular because a lot of their songs are pretty low. I used to be discouraged that my voice was too high to sing them in the original octave but now I get to feel good about my progress now that I can sing (some of) them.
My Arby's sandwich was so good that I brought some to share.
If you don't eat pork/meat, you can have some Mediterranean baked sweet potatoes! (or if you want sweet potatoes in addition to the BLT, feel free. There's plenty to go around.
i hope you enjoy!
