A better week than last

By Stephen

So the week went a bit better than last.

I started using Mederma on my scar which makes it red but I am hoping it works. I am lucky I didn’t get into a car accident last night or get pulled over by a cop for my excessive mirror checking on my drive home.

But luckily I guess it is true what they say: “God looks after fools and children”

I am now more used to wearing cover up on my nose although still essentially pissed off about it. But, I have to get over it… Really.

Trying to figure out how I am going to approach the summer.. Do they make cover up that withstands water?

Today is just a quick note. I am going to head out for a run and try to get outside for a few moments to blow off some steam and enjoy the fresh morning air.

Planning for our trip, feeling generally happier and less desperate. Wishing I could freeze time for a while and sit here in the 8:45 morning with the birds chirping and the sun still waking up.

In quiet, in peace in a moment of tranquility… It is just so nice.
