Yoga this morning: I was feeling stuffed up in my own body, like I had a sinus infection of the self. Blah. Didn’t want to get up, whine whine. Got up, swept the patio, laid down the mat, grumbled through the first few poses. Once I hit the Warriors it got better and my energy […]

This morning was rough–I was feeling very disconnected–but good news: I can get my ADD meds tomorrow. I was trying to tell myself that I was doing relatively fine, but yesterday I was running on empty and it took a while for the rationed dose to kick in this morning again. My regrets as a

Yesterday: mostly crashed, post-move. Got up in the morning because someone was shouting outside the front door.–There goes the peaceful streak. I’ve had my share of shouting matches, just not at five a.m. Got up, did yoga, went for a walk. It was deeply foggy, dark and dreary, which is exactly the sort of thing

Updates! Ray and I are out of the AirBnB and in the new apartment in Tampa. We are walking distance to Busch Gardens, although we’ve not been there.

As almost always after a good bitch, I feel better today. Still moving slower, still not pushing hard, still losing track of time. Ray and I are moving into our new apartment on Friday if everything goes well, and I want to take it easy until then, I think. It’s gray and rainy and wonderful

This morning I ran out of go juice and took ADD meds. I still don’t have replacements, so I’m stretching them as far as I can. I got up and couldn’t function, took a med, went outside for yoga, started doing yoga, and broke down and cried. I had no idea why at first, then

This morning was more taking notes on the sidewalk than it was pics. I’ll jump to the notes because my brain is like, go directly to notes, do not pass go! –Short story collection title or subtitle: Songs of Love and Corruption. –Cameras see haze better than human eyes and minds do; we filter it
