Goodnight friends! Still a bustling breathy wind, but not enough to keep the sticky pale clouds at bay, a slowing pulse of bright and dim skies ending with dense, gluey cloud cover in the early evening. Air seeming misty and thickly scented, the sweet ash-mud-and-stone smell of light, fitful rain on warm earth.
Damp low-pressure atmosphere getting to me, pain heavier and more constantly scraping at my nerves. I drew a bit, but found it wore me out significantly. Walking a bit less the past few days trying to strike a balance of doing enough to keep my body somewhat active and limber while giving myself a little less energetic stress to manage. If all goes well, hoping for a small low-stakes outing with my girlfriend tomorrow.
May we find amd savour the uniqueness and wonder in all our small everyday experiences today!
