me, myself, and I

 
Today me, myself, and I took a reprieve.  I announced last night that Friday was "my day". 

 
Originally, my plan was to drive to Gainesville and go shopping at the mall because I am tired of wearing the same clothes week-in and week-out to rehab.

 
No one gave me a hassle about my decision.  In fact, Mom was most encouraging.  Truett, just accepted the fact that I needed time to myself, and was gracious about it.

 
Of course, when I awoke this morning, I had already dreaded the drive to Gainesville, fighting the traffic, so I made the  decision to go to Lake City instead.  There is a mall in Lake City, so I was good to go.

 
"I'm free!" I thought as I drove to Lake City this morning.  Of course, I had two cameras with me; but it's pretty darn hard to whip off the road in a split second just to take a photograph of cows huddled under century old live oaks, with African Cattle Egrets by their sides.

 
I did end up at the Lake City Mall.  I did try on several blouses.  But in the end, I just bought Truett a father's day present.  I took no pictures.  I just drove and thought of all the people I love and thought of those who love me.

 
Even though, I was away from Truett and Mom for only two hours; that two hours rejuvenated me.  I came home, took care of chores and business, and cooked a nice dinner:  white acre peas, squash and onions, new potatoes and sliced tomatoes.

Me, myself, and I had a great morning that lasted through the evening.
