k_sereinroomThe skillet is simmering on the stove with cubed potatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. In a little while I’ll add the collard greens. There will be a little left over, but not so much I’ll get tired of it. The recipes I have for my current fridge of food is varied.
There was a light rain and cloudy skies in the morning, and sunshine in the afternoon. It must have been warm because the temperature in this apartment got up to 75 degrees, and it’s still 74 now. The time has changed. I stayed in, feeling clammy and sluggish. I think I’m going through a bit of a detox.
Besides the potatoes and greens, I made burritos, and also grazed all day. I napped numerous times and had the usual weird dreams, which I consider to be healing.
The six tiny maquettes I painted, need something added, but I’ll leave that for another day.
My Substack newsletter, with the more edgy title than usual, didn’t lose me subscribers. I was a little surprised. The emails had a 100% open rate.
This is day two of way less scrolling. All the sleeping helps with that. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and one episode of Father Brown from my video library. They are way less dark than much of what I’ve watched over the years. Since I spend so much time in isolation, and have only brief, superficial conversations, I think it’s healthy and helps with myelin sheath repair.
Avoiding the news, helps too. I saw video titles on YouTube which are the usual doom and alarm signals. Some make me feel like I’m missing some crucial, insider information and insight, but nope – they’ve done more harm than good.
There’s a list of what I’d like accomplished this week. Some items have been listed for months, but I’ll do what I can.
The elevator will be down for remodeling again tomorrow from 6 am to 2 pm so I’ll just ease into the week and not expect myself to be out running errands.
If I didn’t honestly believe that my health can and will improve again, as well as my circumstances, I would be worried.
