Chill Sunday

// August 8th, 2010 // Me Time

Today was a pretty quiet day for me after I did my morning outreach of breakfast sandwiches, orange juice and water. Dodger and I were pretty beat since we got up extra early to do this outreach, plus I have not been feeling so well, so if really doesn’t take too much to wear me down right now.

After getting back home I went right back to bed and then got up later in the afternoon. I had an offer to go have dinner with my friends Tina and Andy, but I wasn’t feeling up to it, so I sent them a text message letting them know I would not be able to make it. This kind of sucked for me because whenever we hang out I always have a great time and Tina was going to cook some pork ribs.

It too a while for me to get started once I did get up and think about getting things in motion for me and Dodger. The first thing I needed to do was go to the store and get some cranberry juice and a few other things I needed. But most of all I wanted to take Dodger to get his nails trimmed. I have noticed that he has been placing his foot in his mouth after we come in from walking and I wanted to make sure his long nails were not giving him any trouble.

Last week I had lunch with a friend who gave me some cash to spend on myself and for me this was awesome, because I was in need of some pants and underwear. It has been a little over 6 months since I was able to buy a pair of pants or underwear for myself. In fact I only had one pair of pants. However the last two months I have been without, so the money was going to come in handy for me getting a pair of pants.

Little did I know that going to buy a pair of pants would end up in me getting two pairs because the person reads this blog and loves the work I do. So what was suppose to be one pair of 501’s ended up being two pairs for the price of one. This left just enough money for me to get an anal wash and nail trim for Dodger today. The added bonus was I also got to give him a bath there as well. It was so much better to wash him in a professional setting with professional products.

Once back home from walking Dodger and getting him all set I long nap and then spoke with my friend on the phone for a bit. It want long before my wrist and head began to hurt and the room started spinning and I was back in the bed sleeping. After another short nap and a quick walk with Dodger I spoke with another friend for a bit and then made a few youtube videos for my channel and did my Sunday catch up of watching the channels that I am subscribed to.

I could have taken the entire day to just sit in the apartment and do nothing and feel sorry for myself. I could have sat here and complained about not feeling well or find reasons why I could not go out and do the very little that I did today to help those in need. I could have done what so many people always say to me “Kengi just do it next week” or “Kengi just do it next month” but there may not be a tomorrow for someone who is truly in need. Someone who could truly use some help today.

I think I will eat the rest of my chicken noodle soup I made the other day, toast some bread and watch a bit of TV before I call it a night and get some much needed rest.
