Hummingwolf Today
Now wearing: My loosest wearabe pair of blue jeans, light-colored shirt I bought last year with a stylized peacock on it (as opposed to the dark brown one with a differently stylized peacock from a couple years ago), turquoise & white socks with stylized seahorses (they don't argue with the peacocks), glasses in the process of falling apart, and boring underwear.
Now feeling: Tired and in pain, but at least there was no huge migraine today!
Music of the day week: Depeche Mode, Sounds of the Universe. Because WRNR kept playing "Wrong" at the right times, because a store had the CD on sale for a dollar less than the price I had in mind when I walked in the doors, and because I still heart Depressed Mode after all these years.
Food of the day: Either the spicy cracker & legume snack mix or the chewy pumpkin candy. Yes, I went to a Korean grocery store today.
Flowers of the day: Lilies! They're everywhere!
What about flowers on trees? Magnolia blossoms. They're mostly not very attractive at the moment, but they do provide the
Smell of the day: See previous response.
Miles walked today: I dunno; possibly four. Feels like a zillion.
Triumph of the day: I was in another part of town, realized that I would not get to the correct Metro station in time to catch the bus to a doctor's office, hurried to nearest Metro station and started taking the train in the direction of a far distant station that I vaguely remembered being near the doctor's office (and on the same bus route), realized I had misremembered, discovered that the station I got off at was a better choice anyway, caught the bus, and arrived at the doctor's office with two minutes to spare. Hooray! And from Metrorail windows today I got to see two of the
Birds of the day: Red-winged blackbirds. When you're staring out at a field of green, one of these suddenly flying in your direction does tend to capture the attention.
Annoyance of the moment: Cell phone battery doesn't want to hold a charge.
Other annoyance of the moment: Computer monitor doesn't want to display the full range of blues. It seems to be in a yellow mood, though it does switch over to the full spectrum sometimes, just long enough to make me think it's serious about being a full-service monitor again.
Something I really need tonight: SLEEP. I should probably go to bed early tonight. Being able to have a productive Saturday would be nice.
