I don’t think anyone, especially myself, wants to hear about the minute achievements that made up all the little routines that kept me going throughout the night. But they’re there, they kept my head screwed on, and PRAISE BE, I have my physical and mental health to some degree. Tomorrow I will also have a bit of WEALTH, too. Most of it, not mine to spend. I really should not.
Thanks to a water/oil diffuser that’s pumping moist vapor around my flat, and an incense stick, my flat smells somewhere in the region of lemongrass and myrrh. It’s lovely. I even have a few puffs left of my Vick’s nasal spray left, to help me enjoy how good it smells here. The plan is to head to the shop and see how much is on my Lidl gift cards. I’m relying on them. I need washing up liquid and some pizzas or something equally good, to eat. Radio six music is playing on my DAB radio. They’re doing a silly little feature where people ring in, if they “hear their names” in misheard song lyrics of famous songs.
It’s nippy weather outside. I got a chill on my skin going downstairs from open windows. My hoodie will take another four minutes to wash. With closed windows, the perfume of incense and lemongrass is intensifying to a pleasing degree. My nasal spray finished, and I wont be getting another til tomorrow at the earliest. I like the smell of the deodorants I got from Lidl. Almost all Lidl own-brand stuff is better than the original. Except maybe their copy-chocolates. Not that anyone has rights to being an “original chocolatier” . Frys, would be my best guess on a quiz show.
The format, currently, of this blog is very frustratingly simple. I hope it’s changed, I hope that I have worked out how to change it by the time lucky readers get to this point, reading this entry. If its still basic-as-it-can-get “greeny-gray” then I suppose I got used to it or even started to love it. What I like least about this theme in question, is how the text goes directly from one side of the screen to the other. If I discovered this blog by itself, I would have to make the browser window small as the width of a book page to comfortably get a read at it.
A really, really annoying song came on the radio. I promptly switched it off and headed downstairs to collect my hoodie. My hoodie smells great and looks very clean. It was done on a short cycle, with a single pod. I didn’t put it in the dryer, for that would be a waste of time (ha-ha), and I don’t mind using the excess energy that is in the hot-press, in conjunction with the heat of my own body, to complete the drying process. Now it is 07:41AM. I will leave for the shop closer to 8AM, so that it is well and truly open by the time I get there.
I am very awake and clear-minded. A list of great supplements I have been taking include lions mane, magnesium (very high quality ones), caffeine, zinc, Siberian eleuthero sometimes, and Ashwaganda, that I am running low on. Might be wise of me to buy greek yogurt so that i can eat the various plant powders I have shoved in my messy food cupboard.
7.45AM – I’ve begun focusing my thoughts on my pen-friend from Canada. I just felt a pang of very strange deja-vu. My pen friend has a relative going through a grievous loss. All I can do, to any effect, now, while i consider this, Is to structure and prioritise my thoughts regarding it, and to be sensitive on the reception and divulging of information when relating (over text or speech …or video).
The rest should sort itself out in reasonable and natural form. I’m having a good day already, and have taken my meds, and now I’m ready to hit the sidewalk and go for these groceries.
Peace and Luv.
