Oh What a Day....

These song lyrics to "Oh What a Day" by Ingrid Michaelson have been resonating in some ways today since I heard it again while my roommate and I were driving in the mountains. While I certainly haven't kissed a bad love relationship goodbye, I'm feeling some of the sentiment in terms of the need to move on from some other things in my life.

Oh what a day is today
Nothing can stand in my way
Now that you've shipped out from under my skin
I think I'm ready to win

Oh what a night is tonight
I think I'm ready to fight
Now that my broken bones all have been healed
I think I'm starting to feel

Something good
Something good
Now that you're gone I can roll on to something good

Oh what a way that we died
Plenty of tears were supplied
My eyes are wrung out and dry as a bone
And I taste much better alone

Something good
Something good
Now that you're gone I can roll on to something good

Oh you know I moved away
From the other side of the door
I don't have to wait anymore for you to come home
Something good
Now that you're gone I can roll on to something good
Something good

Huh.

This was another one of those days. It turned out better than I thought it might, but it was hard.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning and collecting a hug from a dear friend.

And I'm thankful that I have one more day off before I return to work.

I could use a few more than that still, but I'll take what I can get.

Plans changed again

So, this weekend, I'm having to be flexible with my plans.

Have I mentioned that that is not a strength of mine? I like plans. I usually build some leeway into them, but I definitely prefer them not to change.

This time away has been harder and less restful than anticipated for a variety of reasons.

I'm looking forward to collecting a hug from a very dear friend tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm in no shape to drive, and badly needing to get out of the city, so my roommate and I are doing a bit of shopping, and then she's volunteered to drive us to a favorite spot of mine in the mountains so we can spend the afternoon there.
