Today has been a great day.
I got up before daylight and took a very long and almost painfully hot shower. Only it wasn't painful.......just hot, and it felt good.
I dressed and took off to go vote.
I was the 7th person in line, 2 were already in the booth voting. So I really only had to wait about 10 minutes.
I voted my presidential vote last because I wanted to save the best for last.. I paused to check out the goose bumps on my arms before voting. It was really something to see a female and an african american on the ticket. I debated whether or not to yell "WooHoo" while I was in the booth. It's how I felt inside. Ya know? I felt all patriotic, sentimental and proud. And I took a minute while in the voting booth to think about all the people who fought for the rights of women and blacks to vote. So it was like "WooHoo!" Only I decided against expressing myself.
After voting I went to the grocery store, came home, put away the groceries and then dressed back down to my pajamas.
I made myself some pancakes, got on the couch with my comforter thrown over my legs, ate breakfast and laid on the couch and read for a couple hours. I'm reading The Summons by John Grisham. It's not the kind of book that you can't put down, but it's entertaining enough.
I took a two hour nap....got up & chit chatted with, and made lunch for daughter and one of her girlfriends. They took off to go see a movie and to play soccer.
I settled back into the couch with my big comforter and Joplin...............and we watched Stand By Me and Philadelphia. I used to watch Stand By Me with my oldest son. It was one of his favorite movies while he was a kid. So I love it for sentimental reasons, plus it's good.
Boyfriend came over and put away my outdoor furniture, cleaned out and put away my flower pots.............and I think he raked my yard. I made chili cheese coneys for us for dinner while he worked.
It was a relaxing, quiet, lazy day....... AND I thoroughly enjoyed it.
