#3GoodThings
1. I claimed space for my laptop that's cheerful, underused, quiet. It's next to my sister & BIL's room but after waking all the energy transfers to the kitchen, den, computer desk, & garage on the other side of the house.
2. I wrote & composed & reused material reflecting on my current theme of cultural differences—in this case an outsider trying to understand the existence of complacent insiders.
3. I moved to a warmer bedroom.
A chair at a white desk against a bay of windows facing light green grass and bright green trees. It may be winter but the St. Augustine grass rarely turns full brown, rather like my hair nowadays it doesn't go all one color or another, but displays a lightened shade of its original. In the case of the grass straw color lightens the green. The trees appear green in winter because the ones that lose leaves already have. The only trees left are evergreens and those bright green poor fools who emerged for false spring. A few days of freezing may change the scene.

Living in someone else's home for an unspecified time, I feel guided by unknowns. Tonight when it seemed the homeowners were foregoing dinner I slipped out for fast food. That's ok, it was an outing. Now I've taken a middle of night shower, why not? I'm far from any ears. Why? Because it's cold & I've been avoiding getting my hair wet. No better time than when I can ensure that I remain bundled in warmth. I'm finishing my audiobook. I wonder when I'll finally sleep or wake up. Late late late.

2 posts up I shared the desk where I've installed my laptop. Unlike most, my laptop is best stationary. It will not work unless plugged in. So I like to find a spot & leave it there. By choosing the desk I did I have also created a schedule. I won't be using it when the adjoining bedroom is occupied & only when it's sunny and warm. That's ok, an experiment: no longer an anytime & everything machine; perhaps now just a keyboard for writing sessions. Could be a good system.

I'm reducing my intake of pain medication in preparation for trying a new one. Argh.

In such times I want, in place of pain relief, ice cream and pizza and anything delicious to take my mind off pain. Sigh. I also want to be in Mexico. Someday again soon, I hope. I don't have big hopes for the new medication but others seem to, so at this point that's why I'm doing it.

More later. I'm still cold & sweating at the same time. I swear I'm not sick. Just sick of winter. And pain. And
