first day off

Today was my first day off since September 29th and it turned out to be a very nice day.  I almost didn't take it though.  Michael had to work today and I, honestly, was afraid of being here in the house by myself.  Not having a car at the moment, I tend to feel trapped when I'm here by myself.  Even though, chances are if I had a car I would've stayed home anyway, not having the option is very frustrating at times.

I did manage to get out of the house some.  Took Squirt for several walks.  He didn't like to stay out too long cause it's getting colder and so that made the walks shorter than normal. Also got to have lunch with Charles and Jared, which was nice.  I hadn't seen Jared in a while and since Charles just had some minor surgery, I'm glad it worked out that we could all get together.

The rest of the day I didn't do too much and I'm totally fine with that.  Actually, the highlight of my morning was polishing some silver.  That may sound odd as being a highlight, but for me it was.  That's something that I usually only do when I want things to look nice.  That means I'm feeling better, which is definitely a good thing for all concerned hehe.  I have alot of memories of doing things like polishing silver and other domestic things I did with my Grandmother, so I hold those things dear.  I'm glad I felt like doing it today!
