I’m having a slice of Dave’s Good Seed thin sliced bread, toasted with butter and chia seeds. Peanuts, almonds, pecans, some plantain chips and a kiwi. Sipping a buka black raspberry bai boost. It’s a bit after midnight, so September 22, 2026.
Yesterday, Monday, September 21, I went to bed around 5am. I hadn’t noticed it was so late but I managed to sleep without my usual dose of sleeping medication, which was nice. I also read a bit more of “Magic’s Pawn”, which I’m reading very slowly. I believe I’m in Chapter 4. Honestly, I usually start with this chapter, as that’s when I feel like the book starts getting good, but since I’m waiting for a sequel to be released, I decided I’d read the whole book this time.
I slept until around noon. So, about 7 hours. I wanted to eat healthy today and I wanted to make sure I got outside and got some exercise. I managed to do all that. I had a couple of blueberry / zucchini smoothies. I had a pita with lettuce, hummus and Italian salad dressing. I had an egg wrap with hummus and olives. I walked 2 miles. My legs were fine, no pain, no discomfort, but walking home I was sweating and my nose was running. I was tired. I showered and took a brief nap. Later I had 8 tots, 4 cauliflower, 4 broccoli and cheese. I also had some fiber infused water.
I played a bit of Zelda, but not too long. Maybe an hour? I worked on my website a bit.
Aaron didn’t go to the clinic today. He called into work but felt a bit better as the day went on. That’s good. He skipped going to pool though. He’s stressed and sick and tired. We’re having some money problems and he was putting in a grocery order on my Amazon card and I told him I didn’t feel comfortable using that card until I can pay it off. He said that we’d be able to do that on Friday, and I told him that I would then cancel my groceries until that happens – and that I have food, which I can stretch out until then. He was upset. He said that his money problems are now affecting my eating, but really, if it’s gonna change on Friday I’ll be fine. I mean, another goal of mine today was to not spend any money, and I didn’t. I didn’t buy anything. I didn’t take the train. I didn’t go to Starbucks. I should also have some food stamps left that I can pick something up at the grocery store this week.
I’m tired. Maybe I should go to bed.
Oh. I rescheduled a test I was going to have with my cardiologist this week, until I can fully heal from Friday’s procedure. I have therapy tomorrow (or later today, I should say).
If I go to bed I can read a little before I pass out. But I might linger a bit here first. We’ll see.
Today’s journal entry song quote title is from “Wonderwall” by Oasis as covered by American musician Ryan Adams, which was released on “Love Is Hell”, his fifth studio album, which was originally released as two EPs, “Love Is Hell pt. 1” (which featured the track) and “Love Is Hell pt. 2”.
