bobble, bobble, Robert Ross

I just looked over at my solar-powered Bob Ross bobblehead and he’s wiggling his beard and perm at me while holding a painting.  So awesome.

My day’s been relaxing as all get out, like usual.  I woke up earlier than I have been in the recent past, getting up at 6:21 AM because my brain decided it was time to be awake.  I got the kettle going for my oats (I love having an electric kettle because it just heats however much water I want until it boils then shuts itself off) and did a bit of a dance to prevent myself from wetting my pants because the bathroom was still being used by my mother doing her make-up (she’s really good at doing make-up, it was her first career back in the day, so it’s a bit of a process in the morning).  I did my “I’m-a-patient-dude-now-so-it’s-totally-cool-to-hold-it-for-a-bit” thing and before I could even realize it she was done with her face and I got my turn.

I had my breakfast of oats-with-dried-montmorency-cherries-and-nutiritional-yeast.  Then I of course did some dishes (from the night before and my breakfast ones) and then I walked on my office treadmill with a video of a walk on the beach playing on YouTube with my headphones on so it felt like I was walking on the beach (the sound is amazing, all of those waves!).  Then I shaved my face and showered and felt all relaxed all morning.  My life really is pretty easy, even though I have deficits (that I do my best to work around) I’m still getting by pretty all right, methinks.

I cooked some pretzel bites in my air fryer and had them with some pasta sauce (such a good combo, they’re like giant gnocchi like that) for lunch.  I sat down to eat that while watching Supergirl  (it’s giving me similar vibes to Smallville, only the lead is female, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it) and have just in general been existing as best as I can here.

I often think to myself, “Am I doing enough?  How could I do more when I’m basically stuck here?” then I shake it off and just keep swimming.
