Groundhog Day

After waking up a little after 11 today, slowly getting out of bed (I'm a slow riser), getting dressed, washing my face and letting Chhaya out.....I got in the truck and drove to get my latte and something to eat for this afternoon (today it's chips and salsa, hot salsa). While driving I was thinking about how my life feels like it's the same every day.....over and over and over again. Then some guy on the radio talked about that he has been plowing snow in Detroit for the last two weeks, putting in 16 hour shifts and he said that he feels like it's groundhog day over and over again for him too. That was a sign to me.....when I think of something and right in that moment of thinking about it, I either see whatever I am thinking about or hear it somewhere. Do you follow my train of thought here? So basically in the movie Groundhog Day (that I haven't seen but it is on my list of need to see movies) a guy gets stuck in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again. Then when I got home I found out that today is the official Groundhog Day, you know with the groundhog Phil in the funny sounding town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and how many weeks of winter there is left. I don't think Phil and his shadow would apply to any kind of winter we might have left here in Alaska, or a place like California. I lived in Southern Ca, there is no winter there OK. Last year Phil predicted an early spring and there was snow here until the beginning of May.....I remember I was thinking that summer would never arrive in Kenai.
So basically.....I feel like I'm doing the same things, repeating the same day, OVER and OVER. And I don't like that. I feel fine, happy for the most part but STILL. Is this life? I think this is why some people "spice up" their everyday mundane reality with drinking, drugs and maybe cheating a little, perhaps with the neighbor or some one night stand.....I have a friend that recently took up drinking again, to "take the edge off" that was the explanation. She is an alcoholic and that is the reality of things. I think I would really hate my life if I would drink every day. So I rather feel sorry for myself for an hour or so and then keep going.
You know.....I will get that latte tomorrow again and probably go to the grocery store.
Walk Chhaya. Open up my laptop. Do the dishes. Today? I might spice things up a bit by mixing some olive oil and eggs, put that in my hair. Take a long bath, scrub myself raw, put a clay mask on my face, followed with a honey mask. Supposedly Manuka honey works wonders for the skin, so get that if you want to do something good for your skin. Look it up online to see for yourself.

Oh and it's the Super Bowl Sunday today. I like the coin toss, the national anthem (it even makes me teary eyed), I want to see Bruno Mars sing at halftime (I like Bruno) and perhaps laugh at a fun or cute commercial (it has to have animals in it) and hopefully get a glimpse of the cheerleaders but besides that I have no clue to what the players are doing out on the field.....besides alternating in between running around and laying in a heap on top of each other every ten seconds or so. No, I'm not into watching sports. I'd rather watch the Victoria's Secret annual fashion show. Way more interesting and I love the models.
Do I look like a groundhog in this pic?



My angel. She is taking me on a walk soon. It's sunny out. It's Groundhog Day!
