The past two weeks have been extremely long and trying. I spent last weekend making the move to my new home, which took a physical and mental toll on me. We finally finished moving the last pieces of junk late Wednesday evening/early Thursday morning, by which time I was exhausted beyond all belief. Add to that a nephew in the hospital with a liver injury from a fall and a grandpa in the hospital from continued heart problems and you have one incredibly stressed and unhappy Meg...until last night.
I have unpacked very little in my house yet, thus making it difficult to find anything and impossible to set up my bed, so I've been sleeping on my couch. While my couch is extremely comfortable and I've spent plenty of nights there, it's not the ideal place to get an optimal night's rest.
Last night, I was surprised with a brand new shiny pink disc golf driver by the world's best boyfriend. Last night, I filled my tummy with a fabulous steak dinner. Last night, I slept in a bed for the first time in nearly a week. And while I woke up earlier than I would have preferred due to back spasms, I moved to the recliner and slept for another three hours. It was, in a word, glorious!
Today, after sleeping in and having a totally calm morning, we went to one of my favorite delis (Hobby's Hoagies) and then went and played a round of disc golf. Yes, this was the very first round of disc golf that I've actually completed and, no, I didn't break anything. This evening, I'm sitting here, slightly sun and wind burned, but happy, content, and truly relaxed for the first time in more than two weeks. I'm beyond mellow and just enjoying life!
