I almost judged myself as not very ambitious, but then I reminded myself that just a year ago I couldn’t rely on the ability to walk from day to day, so this is actually kind of sweet.
My Ideal Day with My Life as it Is now
I get up, do my morning pages. I eat a sumptuous breakfast - eggs benedict if Mike is feeling ambitious and remembers he can use the blender for the hollondaise sauce. I then go and do my workout - all two hours, with only short rest breaks. Once I’m done, I grab the bags that hold my customer orders and head out. I dump the orders in the mailbox on the way to the neighborhood coffee shop. Over coffee, I read a magazine that sparks my creativity, and by the end of my coffee, it is flagged all over with post-its that have notes scribbled on them for ideas I can use in blogging, business or writing. On the way back to my apartment, I stop at the Indian grocery store and pick up spices for dinner and oils for work. I then go back to my magically clean apartment (because Mike decided to give it a try) and after writing two pages of a book, I go on to blog and catch up on my RSS feeds. Once I’m done, I get a call from a friend who is coming over for dinner, but first: a play date. We drive over to the botanica on Lake Street where I buy a few more candles and oils, this time for personal use. We get back before Mike gets home for work, and plan out something witchy and fun for later that evening. By the time Mike gets home, I’ve started dinner - a paella, perhaps, or something terribly creative and vegetarian. We all eat dinner together while we watch the sun set from my balcony, and we enjoy the scenery and the skyline view. My friend and I sneak off to a park to do a little ceremony, and once we are done, Mike joins us across the street from our apartment for a game of pool. Maybe there is ice cream.
