Hello blog,
I meant to write this entry a few days ago, but life keeps one busy and all that.
I wanted to start blogs on my day off. I cherish and covet my day off and I really like to appreciate the good ones. The day off before last I guess I was feeling sort of grumpy all day even though it was a good day with Katie, so I didn't want to write about it too much.
This last day off I got back from a river / camping trip that I was looking forward to for a long time. The trip itself was incredibly refreshing, spiritually and emotionally. It's always fun to hike the river down to jumping rock and just exist as a human in the water. I took a little psychedelics and the shapes and colors being made on the little ripples and waves in the river really put me in a nice place.
We left the campsite on my day off and headed back to town, stopping at Carls Jr for breakfast on the way, which was nice. We got back to my place and after I finished unloading all the camping supplies I took a nice loooooooong shower (no showers or toilets at the campsite) and then took a looooooooong nap in a real bed. When I woke up it was a beautiful day and I walked outside and felt like I was in a dream. Spending 2 whole days outside of the world displaces you. We kept time by the sun and woke up and did stuff when we wanted to (I had to put shoes and socks on for the first time the next day and felt strangely odd about it).
I spent the rest of the day hanging out with Katie. We went to the market close by to get a few provisions (coffee and ice cream mostly) and spent the day playing video games. We bought the Big Walk since it came out that day and got really sucked into it.
All in all, it was a great day off. :)
