Thirty-one days, thirty-one posts for the
Slice of Life Story Challenge.
I set out an outfit before I went to sleep last night, a long gauze dress that would let me be comfortable yet presentable. I planned on doing an "everything shower" in the morning before asking for a walk-in pedicure appointment at a nearby nail salon. The incisions are still healing on my belly, and it's difficult to bend with them to reach my toes.
So what happened today? I woke up with a goopy eye (it tends to do that), and tired from tossing and turning last night, brain buzzing with a to-do list of adulting tasks needing attention.
Without an ounce of guilt, I had a pajama day at home. I sent and received a necessary email; talked to the surgeon's nurse about the steri-strips that won't fall off; sorted all of my scented body sprays, lotions, and perfumes by season so I won't smell like a gingerbread cookie for Easter; and finally put away my Christmas-themed Toms shoes. I had a nice long phone chat with a friend and texted with another. I read my library book, napped a little, and made a strawberry-orange-banana smoothie, all in the comfort of my pajamas.
The gauze dress is still sitting there...there's always tomorrow.
