I wasn't going to make a post today, because I figured today would be boring from an outsider's perspective. But hey, why the hell not? It's all for fun anyway.

Today was lazily relaxing. I woke up around 1 pm, and made breakfast for my girlfriend and myself. We sat down, booted up my computer, and continued rewatching Red Vs Blue. We're halfway through the series, and cranking through, at about a season a day. The episodes are short, and easy to digest, so it was by no means difficult for either of us to spend most of the day sitting still and just enjoying each other's company, while we watched. We chilled out and cuddled, enjoying today's gloomy weather of thick cloud cover, and a gentle breeze. It was pleasant, and the whole day just felt like a dream. I work regular hours, but irregular days, so we never know when we're going to get a day to ourselves like this. We eventually took a break from the show, to make ourselves dinner, and then we watched the first Sherlock Holmes movie, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. It was her first time seeing it, and it's always fun watching someone react to something you enjoy. She loved the movie, and was absolutely charmed by the characters and atmosphere. After the movie, we just laid down and talked. We didn't discuss anything in particular, we just enjoyed a pleasing conversation.

It's 4 am now, and she's been to bed for a while now. I couldn't sleep, for whatever reason, so I decided to log on and type this up. Even now, I'm relaxed by the gentle rainfall outside, and I couldn't ask for a better way to end my day. Days like this rarely make themselves available, and every time one comes around, I can't help but appreciate how the simplicity of it all makes it that much more enjoyable. It's the peace and quiet of days like today that remind me why I work as hard as I do, and encourage me to strive for more like it. As I'm typing this, I'm wearing the same stupid smile I had six hours ago, reflecting on how much I enjoyed just existing today. Later next week, I'll probably feel slighted over some trivial annoyance, and I might even momentarily lose sight of what really matters. A day like today might not even come along for a while from now. Knowing all of that is why I so enthusiastically enjoy the time I have right now, with people I care deeply, for doing something enjoyable, together.

If I had to call it something, I'd call it a really good day.Simple, and sweet. I look forward to what tomorrow brings.
