day 11- no pressure

Today i had a failed gift attempt. i wanted to get foo some bubble tea and surprise her with it, because she loveloveloves it and was having a rough morning. so i went all the way out to get it, about 25 mins away, and the store is closed on mondays. i was pretty disappointed, because it seemed like a perfect gift. and i didn't have time to go find another bubble tea place, so i came back empty handed. but on the way home i got a great idea: i would buy myself a lottery ticket! i got really excited in the car thinking about it, because i've actually never bought myself one before. i've bought a couple of scratchers before but never the kind that they pick the numbers on the news. i was a little nervous because i didn't actually know how to buy them, but the lady at the gas station was super nice. so i got my first lottery ticket for myself. a little thing, but it was fun. then when i was just thinking about giving for the day, i realized that i gave myself another gift today: i was going to go running this morning, and got all dressed for it and ready to go. but i didn't really want to go. so i just didn't. i ate a delicious waffle instead. it was really nice to take that pressure off myself. if i don't want to run, i don't have to. so simple, yet i usually don't think of it. so two gifts for myself today. that was pretty nice.
