Another morning waking up tired. I did my meditation, and then showered. It seems like showering in the morning has helped me get moving.
I go outside in the mornings, stepping out on my porch with bare feet, even if it’s cold and wet. I go throughout the day as well. I like challenging my feet to endure the textures of the outdoors and the cold temperature. I have perennially cold feet, and cold exposure is supposed to help with them staying warmer. The rain from this morning turned into wintry mix and left the hills and mountains coated in snow.
I was hopeful that I’d have another emotionally calm day, and I did. It’s like I have a little more energy without reading the news obsessively. I had my weekly therapy appointment today, and talked through how this period of calm will be like the tide. I will appreciate it when I get to float on the calm waters, and trust that when I’m drowning in tumult that that will not last either.
I’ve been feeling kind of ill the last few days. My digestion is not doing well. Lots of tummy pain. I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy upon standing at times. I might not be eating enough. I should try and track calories to make sure that I get a good amount each day, but the idea of it seems like too much right now. When I was dieting and tracking calories to lose weight, I sometimes found myself short of calories. I didn’t want to be shorting myself, so I’d have to add a snack in the evening.
After work, I got a ride to the transfer station with a neighbor. My outside trash container was full, so it was good timing to get everything emptied out, including the box from the etrike, which was huge. He also stopped us by the grocery store in town so I was able to refill on my yogurt and peanut butter – the foundations of my “easy foods.”
Then I got a ride with another neighbor to the hot springs for a little soaking time this evening. It was good to soak in the water and chat with a bunch of neighbors.
Not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow other than work, exercises, and practicing music. There’s bingo in town tomorrow evening, but I don’t have transport. Maybe some other time. I should be getting the rest of the stuff that I need to get the trike up and running tomorrow, but it might not arrive early enough for me to get any work done. That’ll give me something to do Friday.
