Got to be an easier way

 I get off work in an hour & a half which is Wednesday morning 330am Eastern tz. I don't work again until Friday night @ 650pm. So this is my 'weekend'. YAY!

Many thoughts are rambling through my brain. I was hungry earlier & I think it was real hunger. I am having troubles settling on vegetarian protein sources. Cheese check. Beans check but not everyday. Soy sausages check but again not everyday. Seeds & nuts check. I need to work on my tofu skills. And find some other sources.

When I get off work I will take my shot. And later in the morning I have a doctors appointment & I have to get my prescription renewed. I am going to ask to go up to 5. I need to change doctors & if this proves to be a drama I am going to do that. My doctor is competent as a doctor but doesn't appear to know how to be the boss. That has been going on for the almost 18 months I have been her patient. I have mantras that I say in my car to try & get in & out of her office with no drama & with my healthcare needs met.

It shouldn't be so hard.

Peace broke out in my brain, y'all

big, dreamy sigh... I. Love. ZB. 

Today I had to go to the grocery store. You go through the bakery to get to produce. And I did not stop. And nothing sang at me. I was half way across the store before I even realized; hey look at this cart with no NMF in it! (not my food)

I came home to watch tv before work. I watched an episode of Mrs Maisel season six which I haven't seen yet. Then I wandered over to my desk to work. With my water pitcher & my glass. Again - no NMF!

There were definitely some irritations along the way. Someone yelled at me in the parking lot because HE was having a bad day. I kept dropping things. You get the gist. Still no NMF.

Thank goodness for ZB or this day would have been full of sexy NMF & I would be gaining back what I lost. 

Not today!

I dedicate this song to all that sexy NMF out there - Hit the Road Jack (by Sweet Sisters)
 

 I used to talk about writing here. At this time I am choosing not to write (except blog posts sometimes).

I am on Zepbound GLP1 for purposes of losing weight. I will talk about that here. 

And maybe other things. Like trees. Or the beach. Or any thing that intrigues me.

Today I need to whine. 

I gave up sugar before I started ZB. 

One of the things that happens is - your tastes change. I used to love coffee & tea. Now I don't.

That is I don't like the coffee or tea I liked before.

What I really miss, though, is ambience. So today I went searching for ambience at Panera's. While I was there I had a thought - I used to not like Paneras coffee - maybe now I would.

I did like their coffee. So I took a cup of Paneras Hazelnut coffee with some half & half to the Bellaire Causeway & found a lookout / parking place with a view of the water that met my need for ambience.

NEW moon mantra - October 2025

 My willingness to take care of my body increases with the waxing moon.

The amazing Nick Drake (deceased).

Sometimes Dandelions must grow up through holes in concrete

 And that's what it feels like lately. Survival mode.

Also - I am reluctant to write & add more words to the chaotic den of society today.

Even though I still read fictional novels.

Go figure.

Fun to think about

 In Florida there is a city called ***Wewahitchka***. It is a Native American word that means 2 eyes in the sky. 

There are 2 lakes.

How did Native Americans back in the day know what they looked like from the sky?

Spring Equinox 2025

 Today we will have 12 hours of daylight & 12 hours of dark. 

I will spend some daylight hours in the sun eating a sandwich with sour sauerkraut.

And some of the dark outside with the moon and a cup of coffee.

Both times I will work on a neurographic art piece that reflects light & dark. 

When it's done I will post a picture here.

Spring! Yay!
