Good vibes

Wednesday 14th December 2022


I had another 2am lying-awake session last night, not sure why but I averted worrying thoughts yet still stayed sleep free for an hour.


I sparked at 5.30am because I was driving my sister to work. The traffic was busy but flowed, although apparently it's already quieter according to the regular driver. The traffic on the opposite side was blocked full, so I popped to a coffee shop to sit out some traffic time.


The small center was interesting,  and I do enjoy watching the process of shops opening for the day. I drove to a larger retail park nearby and continued my early morning window shop before the 9am openings.


I then remembered that my school friend lives nearby who was fortunately working from home, so I dropped by to visit while waiting for a decent time to travel to my massage session. 




The rain stayed away thankfully although there was thick cloud cover, so driving was comfortable. I wandered around some revamped shops and enjoyed the new trendy vibe near my massage clinic.



My massage was wonderful and by the time I got back I was ready to think about running.  It was my first afternoon run in possibly 8 months and I know why I prefer the coolness of morning.  I felt heavy and clunky but I did it. It's hard getting 5km fit but I can only take it one run at a time.
