Day 14 was mired in household chores, literature review (for work) and contemplation. I went to bed early (i.e. 01:00 AM rather than 03:00 AM) and hoped to wake early. I did wake up earlier than usual today. 06:00 AM is much later than my pre- COVID 04:00AM start, but the past couple of weeks... Continue Reading →
Day 11- Better days
Heard this just I opened the page to type. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGP6JP_hAPM I am happy for the life I have lived thus far. I've not had less, nor more.

She feels restless and anxious. Irritable. Maybe a run would help. She mulls over going... Continue Reading →
Shopping Saturday- Unhinged January sales and shopper’s high!
Hooray!! Dr J is a little high folks. Apologies, on her behalf. She is drunk on consumerism. Intoxicated with retail therapy. Does anybody around here know the sheer, infrangible pleasure of giving into your vice? Of letting go? Like growing out your hair long and strong. Of conditioning and oiling it. Nurturing it. And then going to the fanciest... Continue Reading →
I never missed the city lights!
