Between the continued effort to pack and get ready to move, finding old childhood photos of my dad, and visiting my mom on hospice in skilled nursing where she still talks about "when I get outta here", I've got a lot of feelings today.
So I'm sitting on a bench, listening to a gentle wind blowing the palms and watching the sun set over the fake lake in front of my townhouse.
Going through some old photos I haven't seen in ages and found some of me and my dad at the racetrack taken around 1980something. Me with my hyperflexible knees and rainbow edged clothes 🌈
Missing my goofy dad who took my advice on horses at a tender age because I had a knack for picking unexpected winners.
It's 40 degrees here in the Sunshine State, so I'm taking my morning walk in ridiculously mismatched clothes like some kind of dumbass
(Marvel sweatpants and tee, UFO cows socks, cheap Walmart boat shoes, and a flannel button up hoodie I bought at Cracker Barrel for 70% off the last time it got this cold)
