Day 3:

Apparently when I don’t have a dark raincloud of stress over my head, I’m quite happy and productive, hence today. Sleeping in until 10am also helps, as does exercise. I need to remember how much happier I am after running around, even for a little bit. It’s consistent, must be chemical, yay endorphins.

 So today I went for a run in the morning around the nearby cemetary, watched Jordy bound off a deck and over a neighbour’s garden when we called him (that was a first, such enthusiasm), and then waited in line with a great attitude at the Social Security office to change my name and get a new SSN card. Done. Post this process, I shopped for our roadtrip, made a massive batch of homemade granola for our roadtrip breakfasts, made cookies for Bryan (no oats, no nuts, nothing interesting, just plain chocolate chip—once he likes something, there is NO switching it up),  and made soft tacos and sweet corn for dinner, which we ate late once April came home from work. Top that off with the last episode of Revenge and nailing down our roadtrip plans together while snuggling in bed and studying Google Maps…it was a great day. Funny how days flip flop from grey to sunny, both outside and within.
