1. getting through day 2 of my parents visit and having a sense of humor about it all (still day two folks)
2. running into allie at new leaf and sarah at peets today during my time away to run errands
3. getting sleep
4. peanut butter brownies
5. sunny warm day

nugget: trying to understand my parents is exhausting and unnecessary and something i had always done in the past in an effort to better understand myself. i realize now that i don't need to understand them, i know who i am. my state of mind or belief system no longer hinges on theirs. ahhhhhhhhhhh. feels good. this doesn't mean that the relationship is easy. i just feel like i can take a step back more and see where the "hooks" are and have learned how to avoid them.
