I awoke at 9 am ready to begin the best of the best of days. Looking back, I wished I had gotten up earlier so I could have squeezed a few more things in, but what’s done is done and 9am was good enough and my day was filled with amazing things.
So, lingering on the sofa, pen in hand, making my daily ‘to do’ list I sipped one of the best cups of coffee I think I’ve ever had. No rush to do anything except what I wanted to do felt like a part of heaven must feel. Free to do whatever, whenever, and with whoever was wonderful. After an hour or so I decided it was time to get dressed and begin my day which is exactly what I did. But, first, a long hot bubble bath was waiting for me in which I indulged to the max. After dressing comfortably because well, this was my day and comfort is a major part of the best of the best, I head out to what? Shop? No, I prefer shopping online. Shopping is a chore any other way. To visit someone? Not unless I wanted to and only if that person would not require me doing anything other than what I wanted to do. Sound selfish? Maybe, but this day is my day and selfishness plays a big part in enjoyment or work for me. To check in at work making sure everything was running smoothly? Absolutely not. I don’t even want the thought of work to infringe on this day. So, what then?
I decide to take in a movie? Several were playing that I had been wishing to see and that is exactly what I did. In fact, I watched 2 this day and enjoyed both while stuffing myself with popcorn and soda. Afterwards, I go to Books-A-Million checking out the new stuff. I love books, always have, but time these days are a factor in me not being able to enjoy them. Not today though. I select a couple to buy and promise myself I would make time for reading them.
As I leave the bookstore the day is quickly fading. Soon this best of the best day will be over and this chance may never come again so I keep on keeping on making memories like never before. I head to get a pedicure and manicure cause looking good must be part of the best of the best days.
With daylight quickly fading into night I have enjoyed alone time enough so it’s time to bring in my better half, my husband who by now is home from work. I call to see if he would join me for the remainder of the day. Of course he agrees and we make plans to meet at the local pool hall, Six Pockets , a local place where people gather to shoot pool and have a drink or two. I am horrible at the game but love playing. We hang out for an hour or so having a blast as we decide where dinner will be enjoyed. Then, head that way.
Fulins has the best sushi ever and that is only the appetizers. The main courses are to die for. Perfect food, perfect atmosphere, perfect company. What a day!! I couldn’t ask for a better day. But, as with all good things they must come to an end so the same with my best day ever it must end as well.
We head home with full bellies, full hearts, and to a comfortable home which had been cleaned while I was out enjoying the day. What? You thought I would leave out a clean house to come home to after the best of the best day I had just enjoyed? No way was this going to happen so maid service was ordered before I left home that morning. Leave nothing undone and for tomorrow. Do all you can today.
As we both lie down for a sweet sleep, I go over this day I had just received. How awesome a day it was and as sleep moves in, I pray it continues in my dreams.
