Sunday!

Woke up with no particular reason to get out of bed; such a lovely feeling.  stretched, meditated, napped.  then my fave--pre-breakfast gardening in pjs.  housies were breakfasting on the porch as i started to unearth our lovely plot from its thick weed covering--discovered some dill buried in there.

Then, to the kitchen to make buttermilk pancakes w/some of the pre-dumpstered buttermilk we got delivered yesterday--delish with coconut, banana, kiwi, maple syrup.  continued on into food prep for the week; hummus making, a big pot of reishi tea and a little pot of forbidden rice.  another little lie down, a little studying.  the day is gorgeous, sunny and 85.  after whipping up some lunch for tomorrow (forbidden rice cooked in Kentucky's leftover bacon fat, tossed w/toasted walnuts, kale, coconut, dates, and a little seaweed) jumped on the bike to pedal up to Ward's grocery store for the Veganaise i promised Kentucky I'd buy today.  i LOVE grocery shopping and its something i missed intensely living at Twin Oaks.  I love to wander through the aisles and see what catches my eye, what's on sale, what looks good....today was the first day of local kumquats, not too expensive either.  i grabbed a 69 cent FL avocado (always good to have a few extras ripening in the pantry), a mango that also would require some ripening and a $2 melon.  found my Veganaise.  meanwhile i'd been texting with a couple of classmates--one was studying and i contemplated joining her.  another friend was just sitting down to meditate so i headed over to his place and joined for the sit, relishing the beautiful bikeride day en route.  after sitting we morphed into an impromptu muscle review and palpation session.  I love being a massage school nerd with nerdy massage school friends!  and then some serious talk and processing.  yep, still me.

i so relish the feeling of autonomy that fills my weekends.  cooking on whim, lounging on a whim...living on a whim and following the tides of the day and my desires.
