22 18 March [1145]
I woke up quite motivated in contrast to recent days.
I drove to two different stores to buy some coffee filters and incense. Neither could wait apparently. I took my dog Mickey with me as usual when I'm going in and out of a small store. The cashier at the dollar store where I got the coffee filters told me they liked my sweater! I loved that.
I felt slightly awkward because I felt like I should say more than “Thank you!”, though I don't think I exuded too much of an air of discomfort, a common concern of mine in such situations. I don't want the other person to think my uneasiness is due to not wanting to be complemented by them specifically; it's most likely due to being complimented by anyone for any reason.
I had a great time listening to music in the car. The feeling takes me back years as it hasn't been a common occurrence in as much time. I'm writing this is in my bedroom now. I'm losing my motivation as the day progresses due to the usual unnecessary stressors and not being able to do anything about them. This may be solved with some rap. My main stressor seems to be deterred by rap. My main de-stressor seems to be encouraged by it as well! I suppose there is something I can do, or at least try.
Writing with the moment now, I hope my mood stays somewhat elevated. It's hard to imagine it will when I can't just focus on what I'm doing. My stressor left! I'm out of juice to write at the moment but the day is already looking better!
