Year 3: The Long and Winding Road

[whatisis]

I have just returned from an outing to the park, it was a beautiful day and I sat on a bench beside the pond and just tried to enjoy. Again, when I go to the park it's a mixed feeling I come away with. I enjoy the beauty but also notice all the couples and families while I sit alone by myself. Most people are walking with somebody, their spouse or girl/boyfriend or they're with their kids. Then there's me and the odd elderly person walking alone. It's the bittersweetness of summer I guess. As I said before, we used to do things every weekend together as a family and if I had time alone it was a very special time indeed! Now, it's the norm to have time alone, sometimes it's great and sometimes not so great. Today was OK but it's a long day when you don't have any plans. I did some grocery shopping and went to the chiro this morning and stopped off to get some Chinese buns to take to the ballgame tomorrow. Now, I'm sitting here typing with an optical migraine, which is really freaky because you have no pain but your vision gets messed up, for example, I can't read part of what I'm typing. I get these every few months and they go away in 15 minutes to half an hour, sometimes in one eye and sometimes, like today, in both. Thank goodness I'm not driving! The glare of the sun most likely caused it. So, I'll sit back and wait for it to lift. Tonight I'll watch a bit of football and relax in my bachelor pad I picked up some Sushi on the way back, which probably violates my diet which only allows brown rice...tough titty! Hey, my vision just cleared up...hooray!!!
