Goodnight friends! Another day of thin, insinuating mist and dense, cold clammy air. Not quite so chilly, back around 8°c or so, but it feels much more wintery than that, the prickling moisture on the breeze seeming to suck the heat out of my skin. Chickweed and toothy sow-thistle swelling up, along with glaucous daffodil shoots surging straight up through the inky soil. Neat little button-rows of small brown mushrooms arc across the grass.
Joints still feeling inflamed from the damp, alternately spongy and sandpapery-rough. Sleep and energy a bit better at least, managed to walk and stretch and take things easy in between without needing to lie down. Some helpfully distracting fun chat and virtual hijinks with the TTRPG crew. Mildly dreading a bunch of phone admin tomorrow, a benefits harassment call and some of the last medical trial check-ins.
May we find a refreshed sense of play and exploration in our lives today!
