Life Continues

Yesterday, I took a 20 minute walk. It's been awhile since I've taken a walk like that, meandering with lots of turns, sort of fast paced, basically without stopping to catch my breath. It was odd, but good. My goal, to be able to walk easily for an hour to listen to hour long podcasts without getting too bored.

Yesterday I also forgot to make the bed or wash the dishes at the usual times I do those things so yes, my brain is ridiculously foggy!!! I'm really not sure what is up with this the last two days or so. A normal variation that will pass? I hope!!! I even checked "making the bed" off my list. I sort of thought I did it, but then I remember I hadn't. It is so weird!

Today, I find myself wishing that I could take my coffee & snack outside to eat, but really it is too cold. I won't wish away the spring! It is so short, and it is a miraculous time. There will be days later for lazily lingering over coffee at the outdoor table, lounging on the beach, and spending evenings naked under the fan. Not bad things, but neithers is the exciting ups & downs and longings of spring.

In bad news, some of my broken teeth (one of my broken teeth?) is causing issues. I can still eat mostly OK, and I am mostly not in pain, but I know it isn't right, and I sort of have pain. I need to focus on my comfort and healing in that area for the moment.

Also, although I slept better last night and was way more alert when I got up this morning, I am still feeling oddly woozy. I hope this passes soon. I can't remember if I brushed my teeth this morning or not!

Song in my head when I awoke today: What a Time to Be Alive by Fall Out Boy

Dreamt about: Throwing paper at Diana because I was angry at her (but I don't remember why)

For lunch: Cucumber spears, leftover pasta with leftover taco meat on top

On the dinner plate: Pork chops, glazed baby-cut carrots, salad

Chores I'm putting off: Floofing sofa, neatening living room chairs

Current annoyance: Cucumber seeds stuck in my teeth

Birds I've seen today: Chipping sparrows, black-capped chickadees, Northern cardinals, American crows, dark-eyed juncos, Canada geese

Grateful for: Squirrels leaving the birdfeeders alone, Diana's love, Snow's imperturbability, all my kids being a presence in my life, my dad, my brother, my sister, my home, my own patience, enough food, mostly enough money
