Sunday Funday

So I missed a day yesterday (I know, right? Already?), but it was for a legitimate reason. I'm currently exactly in the middle of an 11-day stretch of work w/ no days off (today was day 5), so I was super tired yesterday morning. I decided to let myself sleep an extra half-hour, and boy, am I glad I did! I felt so much more awake yesterday at work, and it was a tough day, so I'm glad I had the extra sleep to support me in the face of relentless meanness.  Then, I spent the whole evening with Chris, and I didn't want to take time away from him to blog, so those are my excuses. But, to make up for it, instead of one thing today, I'm going to give a brief list:

1. Car rides with the one you love. That's part of how Chris and I spent the evening--just driving around for a while, talking. It's hard to find situations where it's appropriate not to really be doing anything and where you can just talk to one another, and long car rides are just such situations. So we had a nice couple hours driving around in the warmish weather. It was really lovely <3

2. Daylight savings time! I know, I know, it's an illogical, pointless exercise, but every spring, when we set our clocks forward, I roll my eyes, groan about losing an hour of sleep, then celebrate at 6:30pm the next day when the sun is just starting to set. It makes me feel more awake in the evenings and gives me better light to enjoy the scenery. Plus, it gets me ready for springtime!

3. Sunday morning radio. Ever listen to the radio between 7am-9am on a Sunday morning? It's amazing! So much music, and way less commercials than normal! 105.9 has prehistoric x, where they feature bands that pre-date the radio station, and they're always good for some B52's, the Police, Joan Jett and the Runaways, Blondie, the Ramones, etc. Lovely stuff. And 101.9 plays acoustic sunrise, where I heard an unplugged version of this gem for the first time this morning! You might know the recently popularized version by Mackelmore that featured the chorus. Really, really lovely. I always hear great stuff on Sunday mornings, and it makes me sad that so few people probably have any reason to be awake and listening. So, people, get up early and turn on the radio on your day off <3

Anyways, I'll leave it at that. Good day today. Hoping for another good week. Maybe 120 will come easy this week. hahahahahah
