Woke up again feeling rested inside. Supposed to begin to rain sometime soon. It'll be cool enough this weekend to turn off the a/c as well. Looking forward to that. Rain always soothes my spirit.
And let me just say. Making the decision to not color my hair anymore is a game changer. One less thing on the to-do list. Deciding to let it go. Seeing the grey and not shying away from it is a bit empowering. Not hiding who I am, and let me tell you, this grey isn't shy. For me, there's been too much to do for too long a time. Not doing a thing is amazing. A year ago I wouldn't have entertained this for a second, but just having my husband pester me about avoiding chemicals on my hair got me to thinking. I'm a bit excited about this new journey.

He and I had a wonderful conversation last night about stuff. Being emotionally hi-jacked. Said we'd maybe begin to respond a bit more enthusiastically to nonsense. Bring out the no answer a bit quicker. Feel less victimized. Tuck into humor. Maybe resort to, "You have got to be kidding," as a common reaction, rather than shock, which sort of gives the dark side a bit of an advantage. Might work. See the incredulous expressions on our waywards when they come up with topics our wee minds aren't prepared to deal with.
Live our lives and not our children's. Can I hear an Amen?

Must get out later. Buy dry-erase markers for school, get ingredients for favorite dinner of visiting second son (Taco Soup), and deliver my mom's groceries we got on Monday night. Cleaning up her house a bit. Nothing too strenuous.
Today is good. Cloudy. A tad cooler, but not enough for windows up yet. Rest. Recovery. Sounds perfect.
