I have decided that tomorrow...on top of baking cookies for Patrick, and writing thank you notes, I will take myself to a movie. There's a really nice movie theater that opened down the street and I've been dying to go but haven't been. I shouldn't just have to wait for Pat to be around for me to treat myself. So, I'm going to go. I have no idea why this idea makes me feel so empowered but it does and I'm glad for it.
I'm baking chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies tomorrow, and lemon ricotta cookies to send to Patrick. He was so good to me during my surgery and at times I'll admit I got frustrated. I despise having to sit around and have people do things for me. Although, I think Patrick secretly loved that I let him help (only because I didn't have a choice). Sometimes I forget that it's okay to let other people help.
Is it okay sometimes to put your independent self on a shelf?
