I love them, and I don’t often get to indulge, but today I do.
I woke up late, leisurely breakfast w/ Ken and the dogs (he cooked), soft jazzy music, catching up on email and facebook and here. No one to worry about. It’s all perfect.

Yesterday, I successfully defended our time together from intrusion, including begging the indulgence of some of my favorite people who don’t get to see me very often, either. I knew I just needed to spend time not working on anything, not worrying about the future of HIV Prevention in Montana, not worrying about my people, not thinking I had to find all the answers. I just needed to be.

We finally went to see a matinee of Where the Wild Things Are (fantastic), had a take and bake pizza and decided to watch the Maltese Falcon at home. So low-pressure and sweet- especially after a very busy last few days of meetings.

Simple pleasures.

I’ll take them, and am extremely grateful
