Learned: Inflammation pulls me away—it’s been weeks and it takes me days to finish. What it’s like to have an MRI of one’s head (6th of March). WhatsApp works on my phone even when the Internet is down. About some of the ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
(I may put things here that refer to things I keep forgetting or that I almost learn.)
Grateful: for the ability to ship items to people rather than to have to go buy and self-ship; for having both parents alive and well in their 79th and 82nd years. Decent weather in Portland; Betaine Hydrochloride. 3.
Accomplished: So much of my list, but not nearly enough.
Thinking about: How long it takes between Daily Communications and how it’s not wrong it is that it’s only every so often. How when I pack a suitcase, I end up cleaning and reorganizing my home. Too much sitting is a pain in the ass.
Saying this again (and again): What I really need is to have a habit of having breakfast and going for a walk. Or just the walk, get up and do it right now. That would be good. (As long as I’m not feverish.)
How Communication goes wrong:
Reading/Listening/Watching right now: I love the Netflix series Mortel. I can hear the French and Creole pretty well, especially when grandma Elizabeth speaks it. Lots of spooky nonsensical Voodoo activity. Also Listening to Music by Intik – an old favorite. Homestead Rescue with Mom. Sinner with Dad.
Seems: like I get thrown back, pulled back, or pushed back, even though I get there is no back; like low barometric pressure gives me extra inflammation;

A Quote About Hope:
“Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time, confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be.”
~ summarized by Jim Collins as the “Stockdale Paradox”
