Goodnight friends! A flickering temperamental sky and stiff, cold dry wind again. Flowers fading, stubborn buddleja spikes half papery beige. A grey-brown fox trotted along the path ahead of me, half nervy, half seeming to strive for insolent nonchalance before winding away between the slats of a fence. Squirrels spiral around tree trunks out of sight as I approach, pale chunks of mushroom in their teeth.
More-or-less feeling recovered, although it did take until partway through the day and I felt very lethargic into early afternoon. After a little drawing in bed and a slow peaceful walk I spent most of today’s energy on a food prep activity, one of the simple safe recipes I gather the strength to make on my own now and then that get me a bunch of nice modular batch-cooked meals. My girlfriend helping me cook the past few years has been a big help to me gaining more agency in this area.
May we find a sense of purpose and peaceful confidence in our lives today!
