Oct. 5th, 2015 11:38 amWhatever it is I'm trying not to come down with is still skulking around, and I wish it wouldn't.
But yesterday I spent several hours embroidering, and I can't find language for how happy that makes me. Embroidery is how I distract myself from all sorts of things, like eating too much because I'm bored. I wandered off into playing word games on my phone when I couldn't embroider, but I was running down the phone battery too fast and Screens Are Evil and all that jazz. And when I embroider, I'm accomplishing something while distracting myself. Accomplishing something is satisfying.
Gotta go grocery shopping tonight, since I managed not to do it yesterday. I went into my voice lesson with no energy and came out of it with the same level of no energy (despite endorphins and caffeine), so I decided not to drag myself to the grocery store besides. Apparently having no energy is good for being less uptight when I sing. Less uptight is good, and I'm good at overly uptight under normal conditions.
This here is excellent cider syrup weather. Based on it being 49 this morning, I have a hard time believing it's going to be 70 on Wednesday. But in either case, cider syrup is good stuff, so I should get some cider and boil it, and get some seltzer to put it in. And I should get some zucchini and finish the grated zucchini experiment. And I need fruit and cat food and string cheese and almonds and maybe this is going to be two shopping trips...
