Temperature stayed 60 degrees all through the night last night. Tonight will be high thirties. Cloudy, misty, dreary day. It's hard for me to get motivated on these days. My doctor told me to find a reason to get out of the house every day to avoid isolation. Suddenly a multitude of tasks starting popping into my head. A friend suggested I list everything on paper then tackle one at a time leaving the others for another time. Once I listed the tasks I really didn't want to tackle any of them. So I filled the red Toyota with recycles and trash bags and headed off to the transfer station avoiding my list. From the transfer station I went to Mike's Seafood for a blackened salmon lunch, to watch others eat and talk, then bought some servings of cod and salmon for the freezer. It's harder to find peace on these darkest gloomy days. But that's expected and I'm okay with that.............
Happy Summer Solstice! It was a beautiful start to this day. The typical mountain fog had settled in when I got up at 6:30 but burned off shortly after. I always go outside when I first get up, scan for wildlife, and walk around soaking in the morning peace and calm. Did about 20 minutes of stretchy yoga, showered and had a light breakfast of cream of buckwheat with ghee-fried peaches. I still felt a little full from eating Italian food with Janice last night. We go out at 4:30 and take our time eating and talking, have a glass of wine and Friday night is dessert night. Janice is doing better. It'll be a year in August since she lost Ernie. I left the breakfast dishes in the sink and headed to our Murphy Farmers Market. First stop was "Healing Ways" produce farmers for fresh Swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, and a bunch of young summer squash and zucchini since all of mine are falling off the plants....
