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.
Yea! for you! Love you!
