I didn’t get enough sleep last night, but that’s kind of typical for choir nights. I’m surprised that I managed to avoid coffee or caffeinated tea or soda this morning. I really wanted some, but I held fast. I’m going to try for one every other week, because once a week seems like too much. It’s too easy to slippery slope that one.
I did a half mile walk so I’d have time to cut up more pears. The pears that I’ve got are getting really close to being overripe, so I need to get them chopped up and dehydrated as soon as possible. The prior four batches were single variety, but this one is mixed. I think I’ll get one more batch done after this one and eat the rest. Now I need to figure out what to do with the concord grapes. They’re in the fridge for now. Eat some, for sure. I wonder how they’d do in the dehydrator? Concord raisins? The seeds might be an issue.
My digestion has been unhappy today. Lots of gas and difficult movements and false alarms. I didn’t really feel like eating very much today. I ended up with a smoothie for dinner. I want to get back into Spam salad, but I might just have to munch on the lettuce as a snack instead so it doesn’t go bad before I eat it. I do like lettuce as a snack, even without dressing.
I’ve been very tired today, so I’m going to get to bed as soon as I get this posted. I was going to go to bed early, but then there was family zoom and I wanted to play some videogames after that. Now I’m feeling like I might be ill. A bit lightheaded and very warm. I half suspect I may have caught something from the very crowded waiting room at the retina doctor appointment.
I actually had a bunch of things to talk about in family zoom with my adventures from Saturday and Sunday and the doctor appointment on Monday. I’m glad I’ll be getting the next appointment done before I visit Chicago. Here’s hoping I get good news at that next appointment. The new eye drops are kind of a pain; it’s hard to get the drop to fall and hard to feel it when it finally falls.
No progress on story writing. I might end up submitting something that is not quite on theme. Better than not submitting anything at all. These are just chances. I have to shoot my shot. And now I have to go to bed and hope that I wake up feeling rested and refreshed and ready for the day. Because if I’m feeling tomorrow like I was feeling today, I’m going to have to skip the hot springs and legit go to bed early.
