After all my traveling yesterday, I decided to give myself some extra rest this morning. I slept in until about 7:30 a.m., which for me feels like a little luxury. Once I was up and moving, Mr. C and I had a few errands to take care of. The biggest one on our list was a drive over to Lawton, Oklahoma, to pick up medicine for Luther. His doctor is starting him on Glipizide 10 mg, and it feels good to know we’re getting him the care he needs.
Since we were already in town, we treated ourselves to lunch at Esperanza Mexican Restaurant. Oh, it was such a good choice! I ordered a plate with a hard taco, a cheese enchilada topped with guacamole, rice, and beans. Every bite was just as good as I hoped it would be. Mr. C tried something new — a chicken, cheese, bacon, and mushroom quesadilla. Let me just say, I had a bite of his, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We were both more than satisfied and agreed we’d have to go back again soon.
Back home, the rest of the day was about catching up and trying to get back into the swing of things. I had a little list of things I wanted to get done: calling for an eye doctor appointment, changing the sheets, unpacking from my trip, folding and putting away laundry from the dryer, and filling out paperwork for my upcoming colonoscopy. But when I looked at the clock and saw it was already 1:20 p.m., I realized I hadn’t crossed a single thing off that list yet. Sometimes, days just slip away like that, especially after being gone.
In the afternoon, we had some sweet company. Brody and Savannah, along with Lane and Landon, stopped by to visit. I always enjoy having the family around—it just makes the house feel brighter and more alive. Their laughter and chatter filled the room, and for a while, my to-do list didn’t matter at all.
As the evening crept in, I found myself staring at the kitchen, trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I wasn’t in the mood for anything complicated, so I knew it would have to be something quick and easy. Some days you want to be creative in the kitchen, and other days, you just want to keep it simple.
Being home again feels so good, though I’d be lying if I said I’m ready to return to work on Monday. It’s been nice having time away from setting goals, chasing deadlines, and waking up at 5 a.m. every weekday. I’ve enjoyed the slower pace, the little freedoms, and just being present at home with Mr. C and the rest of the family.
As I wind down this day, I can’t help but feel grateful. Life isn’t perfect, but I truly feel blessed with the life I have. I may not have gotten much done today, but I spent it with the people I love, and that matters more than a checklist. Here’s to living my best life, one day at a time.
