I like days like today. I don't normally like any day when I drop a ball. I normally try to handle everything and feel inadequate when not everything gets done. Today however, I was really ok with my choice. Sometimes it's ok to really evaluate "is this important today?" "Really?" Sometimes it's ok to say, "No. It's really not."
I'm actually more proud of myself on days like today than on days that I do it all. I did more today, I prioritized. Properly.
That being said, I still got an s-ton accomplished. I hung out with Ferris, got a form notarized, made Ferris dinner, packet his bag to hang out with Pop-Pop, met the gang at Ryan's daughter, took the bus to the game, enjoyed 8.5 innings, caught the light rail to class, made it to class with 5 minutes to spare.
It was a good day.
