Goodnight friends! Fairly bright and swirling skies for most of the day with strong, deep blue shadows, a few brief rattling showers that passed quickly. A fresh but not harsh breeze keeping clouds from settling too low or dense until late in the day. Around 7°c, a spring-like feeling not just in the eager green stems and buds licking at the wind but in the air itself.

Another round of phone tag, my appointment got rescheduled for next week at the last moment after we’d already headed off to my girlfriend’s place. So instead I spent the morning nestled up with her dog, who loves to worm behind people and act as a lumbar support. Headed home for a walk, some stretches and an evening TTRPG session. Able to pace things out pretty well I think, feeling well recovered from my small weekend outing.

May we find space in our lives to process, accept and understand our feelings without blame or judgement today!
