Learned: Weird reversed-out caption option (above) I didn’t know I had. I can drink my coffee black three days in a row. Five people’s names from the neighborhood (Al, Ahmed, Chris, Lisa, Raquel). That I can throw together a quick roll dough with no idea if it will really work. 3+1.
Grateful for: Waking up early in the early fall; the light is perfect for contemplation. The ease with which I can crop screen grabs on the iPad. Possibility of celery, beet, pear, and ginger juice. 3.
Seems: that establishing oneself is a never-ending responsibility. That I would rather waste a LOT of flour than a bowl of soup. That I can’t get to all the communication, AND the new communication seems the easiest to get done. 3.
New Habits: walk-a-block daily (going outside, by the front door done two days, we’ll see about today…), Beets and celery juice (not yet started). Black coffee (day one is Oct. 11, 2022, so today is day 3), plant-based eating and drinking to de-fat the blood (if I can do the black coffee, I can do anything!) Journaling like this (newly, again). Instagramming as artist (not quite started, or there would be a link here).
Thinking about:
1). Not wasting soup by making bread.
2). Really wanting to make a go of this plant-based idea, realizing I won’t get to it all at once due to cross-over pantry and investments in the new products. But Soy Curls tonight!
3). Packing for my trip to Oregon. I never seem to start until I have to. I’d like to start before I have to.
Worth it to View:
Reading: “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler. It’s not an especially good time, but engaging. I am getting it and enjoy thinking of the author as she crafted it.
Wildcard: I realize I have hop-scotched from format to format, but that’s the fun of it!
