A Quiet Easter and a Busy Week Ahead

By Joe

It’s Easter Monday, and while it may be a holiday for some of you, it’s not one for me. Regardless, I hope everyone had a truly wonderful and beautiful Easter.

It mostly rained here yesterday, but all in all, it was a nice, quiet, and relaxing day. Honestly, I didn’t mind the weather—it gave me the perfect excuse to slow down a bit. More importantly, I’m feeling much better than I did Saturday morning, and I’m grateful for that.

This week is going to be a bit of an unusual one. Today and tomorrow are regular workdays, but then things shift a little. I’m off on Wednesday for Botox, and I’m using some vacation time on Thursday and Friday.

Thursday will be a practical kind of day—time at the mechanic for new tires, my annual state inspection, and an oil change. It’s all part of getting ready for my trip to Montreal in a couple of weeks, which I’m really looking forward to.

As for Friday, there are no real plans yet, but sometimes those end up being the best days. I’ll just see where it leads when I get there.

And as an aside, I think the guy above may have gotten just a little too enthusiastic coloring his Easter eggs. 😂

Have a great week, everyone!

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
