Another day feeling depleted. Another day giving it all I had. Today was definitely on my list for highlights of the year. It was the right mix of chill and activities.

An island hopping adventure to this newly developed property. Pay $30 each for 2 hours of sauna, cold plunging and hot tubbing. Time went so slowly. My only critique of our visit was that we didn’t stay the night. We had to be back for the comedy show and as soon as we were dressed, we were in the ferry lineup to head back home. I wanted to be in Snooze Town and totally could have done a lazy movie Friday aka fall asleep within 30 mins. I persevered.

While this is all happening, I am having a very heated discussion with a friend. I felt I needed to express myself properly and honestly it came out so cruelly. I apologised after, for how I talked to him, not for what I said. I meant what I said. Seems he only listens to me when I am in that state, which I really don’t enjoy but also kinda enjoy it. I like telling people the truth. I should save that type of energy for my book. My ongoing lessons in boundaries is beyond a joke. I know now (newly) how to state my boundaries, but when they are crossed, I do not know how to enforce the consequences. It’s like I feed off the high drama. I actually don’t want to be like that anymore. I am getting close to transitioning into my new form, but I keep failing the levelling up test. I am a lot closer though.

My 2.5 hour power nap when I got home was utter bliss. Slept way too late and was going to be late to the comedy show. Man, that was full on. Guy talks like a machine gun. I only tuned out a few times. My attention span isn’t good at the best of times, so to be that present for the 1.5 hour set was pretty good. They started late too. The draw for more sleep all the time lately had me wishing I was back in bed. I chose to sit in the Heckler Zone so there was no escape until they finished.

Home to be initiated into the Temptation Island experience, and man, what an education in the human experience. Kinda trashy, but honestly, a lot of philosophical questions arose. It did make me feel mighty uncomfortable that these people chose to go on this show and have these parts of their life televised. An emotional rollercoaster I wasn’t expecting, and probably not the best wind down for the night.

Special bonus was kitty choosing me for snuggles. His motor runs way louder than my kitty’s attempts at purrs (hers is broken from abuse) but he also does the same sweet half meow tweets that she does.

Off to recoup. Back home tomorrow and Operation Car Karaoke which I really need.

Lots of love,

Kate
