A Slow Start to Friday

By Joe

TGIF!

Isabella woke me up this morning, purr her usual. I got up, fed her, and since I’m working from home today, I crawled back into bed and managed to sleep for another hour. That’s always a nice way to start the day.

Now I’m up with my coffee, mostly ready for the day ahead. I have a presentation to work on, but beyond that and answering a few emails, it should be a fairly quiet Friday. Those are the kinds of workdays I don’t mind.

The weekend begins this afternoon. Rain is in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday mornings, but I’m hoping the afternoons will clear up so I can get out for a while. I don’t really have any plans, though sometimes those are the best weekends—just taking things as they come.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

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
