Sigh. Another mental health day. I am awful. My cohort in crime is awful. I have to admit it felt nice to take my time with my coffee and the newspaper. It didn't hurt a bit that as I was loafing on the couch drinking coffee this morning, I glanced over at the dining room table and I saw my shiny new Macbook pro. My Mac awaits me.
I am enjoying getting to know my Mac, but I am taking my time with it! I am fortunate to have two knowledgeable Mac heads living with me who help me out. It also not my first time with a Mac. I have used my brother's Mac.
Now I have my own. I will take it slowly, give some thought to how I would like it set up for the long run, rather than rush into something that I tire of quickly. I have done nothing today but fiddle around on my computer. That was after a five mile run in Memorial Park. This morning I realized how perfect the weather was to run and, that I miss running in the park. I'm not the kind of idiot that goes running in freezing weather. I run in decent weather -- no extreme temperatures in either direction, so it's been a while since I've run long distances. It went well.
So while Don has been fighting in the trenches or the wasteland or, I don't know what.... I've been coasting through another mental health day with no feelings of guilt, only peace.
This has me wondering: Is it a mental health day when you do very little, or, Is it just that we will all eventually hit a point in life where things really do change and slow down? Either way, I think that it's time for me to let go of the guilt and enjoy the day.
