Today

 Today was a really good day:

I woke up early, at 6:45 am. And I started working at 7 am. I love waking up early!

For work, I felt very focused. I got a lot done and it feels really good to start winding down my projects. It's been a terrific year filled with joy, dedication, and focus. I learned that I'm passionate about health and wellness, and I'm also very fulfilled if I get to write as apart of my job! I absolutely love it and it's healing.

Then I ended my day at 3:30 pm and took a long walk with R. It wasn't raining and it felt so good to be outside. I think my immunity gets stronger when I'm talking to someone on walks.

Immediately after walking, I had a small dinner: left over chicken from my chicken and waffles dish. It's probably the best chicken and waffles I have had; but that's not saying much b/c I've only had it once before.

After dinner, I cleaned the kitchen and loaded up the dishwasher. This gave me room to chop vegetables that I put in an egg scramble. Now I have breakfast for the week! Then after cooking, I started the dishwasher. Nice to know R and I will have a clean set of dishes tomorrow.

Now I'm doing some journaling.
