suzy_queueOkay, so, no AAGPBL game for us. It was super hot, and the pollen was super high, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to walk and breathe and enjoy it. :( I'm disappointed, but not overly so. I hadn't even really considered my asthma and allergies when I was so excited about playing, but of course that would impact me pretty greatly. I do still hope to drive and see another game, though. Will have to look at the schedule.
So, instead, we hit the mall and read and watched British quiz shows before the Tonys, and it was marvelous. My God, I miss having her around so much. It was really such a fun day. I found a great dress and top at anthro (cute date dress, even, I think, though totally work friendly and retro) and we both bought face stuff at Lush and got tea at Argo--my green tea with ginger and lemonade was the best thing I've had there, and I've loved a lot of things there. We also sat for an hour with our feet in the fountain and chatted. And got sunburned, oops.
Silly, but another sign of my anxiety being manageable: I never would have felt comfortable sitting in the fountain before, honestly. I'd be worried someone would come yell at us, or we'd end up infected with something from the water, etc. (Not so rational!) I still was, but I decided it would be okay, and by the end, there were two other ladies and a kid barefoot in the fountain and I felt even better. And, also, it felt SUPER AMAZING OMG. I've been on a major sensory kick of plants and water lately, it's super soothing to me, and this was just the best ever.
Here's another sign: on Monday, J and I had our first Mr Rogers class of the summer. We were recycling egg cartons as seed planters, and she bought daisies to give to everyone who came. We gave every kid and adult flowers, and had plenty left over, so we walked around the whole library handing them out. everyone in our dept got one, and then we hit all the service desks, then we hit people still in their offices. We had four left, and she'd really wanted to give one to our boss L, who was in a meeting with three others. So we decided to give them a flower intermission--giggling madly, we ducked in, presented them each with flowers and floated out. It was, seriously, the best thing ever, ha. And I was super comfortable doing it, and being silly, and having fun. We decided we need to be flower fairies every month.
Today is supposed to be our first weekly session about building a better world, a nature scavenger hunt through the park. I even bought sunscreen and spray bottles for water, since it's still at least 90. But the forecast now says 80% chance of storms instead of 30%, and the hourly has little storm symbols from 1-10pm. BOOOOOO. Send good vibes that it's clear between 3 and 5!
Sign that I'm still me on meds: I did not do my okc responses, ha. I responded to the WENN fan Monday at lunch, and she just wrote back. Still haven't heard back from the teen librarian, oh, well. I still haven't written back to the fic lady, and now it's been a week. :/ Still doable. I can do it. Maybe I even will.
Tomorrow I go back to the doctor to check on this dosage, and I'm feeling good about it. Anxious that my period is due tomorrow, worried it will hit while driving, so send good vibes there, too. Maybe that will be the next medical thing I take care of.
