I’m the Source of My Own Problems

Still feeling sick, but I was able to take care of animals and sit in the sun a bit. Kathleen and I took a slow walk this afternoon to just get out of the house. I didn’t get to go to marches with my friends, which I really regret. But my energy is awfully low.

This pretty Texas star was a surprise on my walk by the front pond today.

Right now I don’t want to drive anywhere, anyway, thanks to wars and such. Grumble.

Grumpy is a good word for me, because I’ve not been taking NyQuil or anything, so my snoring and loud breathing issues keep waking me up all night. I must have sounded awful last night, but I didn’t bother Lee with his earbuds on.

Tonight I have Chloraseptic for my throat and will sleep with my head raised. I’ve had enough of this irritating minor illness.

Wild berry! That’s exciting.

I need to do some writing and other things that require an alert mental state, so wish me the best! And I know there are many friends out there dealing with MUCH more serious concerns. They have my thoughts, and they help me remember to focus on what’s good in life, which there is plenty of.

Look at all the pollen on this bee!

For example, the chickens are back to laying in their usual nest box! Woo hoo! Plus I found a new plant!

This plant with cool seed pods is wild tantan (Desmanthus acuminatus), the second sighting on iNat in our county!

One thought on “I’m the Source of My Own Problems”

  1. Well, dang! Was hoping you’d be much-improved by today. Now will send good-health thoughts – and visualize a protective pink light around you – for feeling better tomorrow. Sending vibes for Kathleen too.

    Re the Wild Tantan – are the green leaves part of it too? They look familiar, but the seed pods don’t.
