Remember when i told you i was sick, yesterday?
I still am.
I didn’t pick up my medicine yesterday because it COSTS $149, which I think is ridiculous, so I told the pharmacy to call the doctor and ask for something cheaper. To which she looked at me like I was crazy, “You know your co-pay is zero, right?” and I was like . . .”LADY. . .THAT’S NOT THE FRIGGIN POINT! WE still really pay for it. . .just call the doctor, alright?”. . .
But honestly,
if I don’t get my medicine today, I really don’t care because yesterday was so grand, despite the fact that I’m coughing up worms, that I’m completely okay with it.
It was a bonkers day as usual . . ..
i still had to drive Shelbi to school, take Phoebe to school, got to the doctor, pick up Phoebe from school, Pick up Shelbi from school, take our broke down car to the shop, attend a meeting at church, bring Bella to batting practice, and watch Soledad’s game.
But, the difference was. . .
Warwick took the day to work from home, so I could rest. Which I didn’t, really, but I could have, and that made all the difference. He took me to the doctor, and he drove with me everywhere (but that’s because the other car is a piece of sh** and its in the shop) but still, you get my point. . .
and now i’m rambling. . .because i’m sickly delirious. . .
What was my point again?
Oh, yes. .
. . .ITS ALL MY PERSPECTIVE.
EVERYTHING IS OKAY. GREAT EVEN. IF I just don’t expect so much out of myself, and move slower, and do what i can and be proud of myself for trying my hardest, then it’ll all work out.
It took a sick day to show me that.
Life is good.
Just as it is.
No worries.
Relax.
And enjoy the ride.

Last night Warwick warmed this up for me for dinner.
And I was all, “uufff. . .leftovers.”
But then the warm pillowy soup hit my lips, and I was like, “wow. damn, i can cook.”
Just what a sickly like me needed.
love, comfort, and good tidings in a shallow little bowl.
