Sleeping In

 

Hola Dahhhlings,

Y'girl slept in. I wish I could say that's a good thing but I hate it. It's a waste of a perfectly good day.

And then I have to scramble to do all my "morning" stuff.

But it's OK. I clearly needed it. I've been getting in around 5 hours a night during the week and it seems to be a trend that I then "catch up" on the weekends, which is fine.

I had a good day yesterday.

It was what I like to call a "gentle" day. 

I literally just picked up the apartment, ran errands, paid bills, talked to both my bestie and my friend Tracy, took bougie bath, went for an evening walk, which was beautiful by the way.

Then I picked my daughter up from work, it was late...so I laid around until I fell asleep. 

I listened to music ALL day.

So this thing happened. I was coming out of Ulta and there was a car coming and the girl in the car (it was an SUV if you want to get literal), waved for me to go ahead and cross and then she said out her window as I passed, "By the way, you are so pretty." 

My reaction was probably only seconds but if felt longer than that. I looked back at her to see if she was really talking to me and when I realized she was, I noted how pretty she was; very tiny, young, beautiful blond and I just stood there sputtering and tearing up and finally said, "And you are so nice."

Sadly, and my friend Tracy pointed this out to me, my first thought was, "she's probably one of those people who see awful looking people and want to make them happy so she says something really nice like that."

And Tracy said, "Maybe. But maybe she thought you are really pretty and wanted to tell you that. You do that kind of thing all the time when we're out."

It threw me, it made me cry. It was just so kind.

So yeah, yesterday I got a lot done, I just went through my day. It was good.

I did make a list of boundaries; things I need to put in place for myself and then things I need to assert with the people in my life.

But I think I'd rather share those in a video so I'll do that. I probably won't shoot any videos today, but I will tomorrow. 

A friend of mine, a fellow YouTuber, sent me a gift certificate to my favorite pizza place, it's his favorite too but since moving out of Chicago to Denver, he can't get it anymore so this is the second time he's done this, sent me a gift certificate so it's my sister's fave too so Imma take her out.

She's done a lot for me these past few months. How could I not share the pizza with her, lol.

No, I knew right away when I got the gift certificate that I'd use it on her. I'm not going to get in any skating today, I got up to late so I'm going to go on a walk shortly, as soon as I get all my meditating, vitamin taking shit done and be on with the day. 

While yesterday was very laid back, I would like today to be a good combination of fun but gett'er done.

I talked to the guy at the apartment complex I wrote about yesterday and he said I can definitely come in and tour the unit I want, even if I'm not ready to apply for it.

So that's nice. I want to know what I'm getting into this time. I was just so gungho when we got this place that I didn't look into it all, I just took the plunge.

So at least I'll have an idea of if it'll work or not, when the time comes. I may have to overlap rent for a month, which will make things crazy but I don't care. If I like it, and I can get it...I just want to land somewhere where we can stretch out and feel secure in the knowledge that...ok, this is our landing spot and we're gonna be here at least for a couple years.

I guess there are new rental townhomes and apartments going up in Champlin so I'll be looking into those as well but I will say that many of the newer apartments going up, are the matchbox apartments. They look beautiful but they aren't functional at all.

We shall see.

Ok, well have a blessed day, the sun is shining and I feel rested after a relaxing ass day and I wish for you, a day that is much the same.

Be Blessed.

Love and Light,

Neecie
