day 158

I’m missing a couple of slices of skin that looked suspicious to Jesse. It’s okay. I have a lot more. It’s Friday and that used to be good news but now it’s just another day. Last day of July with no changes in how we are living. This afternoon I’m going to Karen for massage. It’s been weeks and my body needs her magic fingers. I’m going to follow Roz’ August blog from England in hopes of writing to her prompts. Hope to be productive.

 

day 157

The writers were busy and I was very surprised at what they chose to research. Their stories will be interesting and different. I was a tad short on energy and let Karen do the work with them. She is the expert on everything Del Norte and helped with the most obscure ask. This morning I have a dermatology appointment. Nothing to show him except the little sores on my lips that appear often.  He will comment  on the age spots and call them sage spots.

Day 156

Another shaky day. I don’t know why but can guess that it has something to do with the brain disorder. Walking is slow and short and I will continue to walk. If I quit moving, I may quit moving. Farmers’ market this morning. I want more green beans as they were delicious. Later, the writing class is at the museum for the lesson on research writing. I’m looking forward to it. Nothing else. Fill the green bin for pick up. I want to be well.

Day 155

Foggy outside and in my mind. Can’t focus so I can’t write. The sameness is dulling. My job is to liven up my life as it is. Can’t change the absolutely absurd way the country is going, but I can clean house, enjoy the new growth on the roses, yum fresh kale from the garden and  express my gratitude for the abundance of good things right here and now. The BOS will have a report from our health guy and I want to hear it

Day 154

The tweet tweet is not from anything in the house. It is a mystery. Hollie and I went to Brookings this morning and took on supplies.They have a big supply that I can also use but I wanted my own stash too. Soup and canned foods, paper products and cleaning stuff. It was a very good trip that filled the list and home with the day to enjoy. The air quality is poor with smoke from some distant fire. Makes the fog an icky brown.

Day 153

Another beautiful morning and I will get out and enjoy  Full of breakfast, laundry in process and feeling okay. Another restless night and it does show in my energy level. I don’t know what makes the anxiety at night except for the woes of the world. I’d be better served if I could concentrate on things I can fix. We discovered the annoying chirping is from a low battery on a smoke detector in the loft. Chuck will go up and take care of it.

Day 152

Feeling better today. Had a kind of sinking spell with shakes, headache, and lack of energy. Long sleep and today is bright and I am too. The usual routine in place. No farmers’ market because we stocked up so well on Wednesday. My split pea soup was delicious. I like the little crockpot. Might try a different walk just for variety. I wish I had a plan or connection for fun. I need conversation and laughing would sure be a winner. Weeds and walking again.
