Wednesday 78 / 100 ( #100days challenge)

I’m feeling about 90 percent healthy again after a bad cold and respiratory virus, and I’m grateful for the improvement—breathing feels wonderful. I’m still staying at home because my housemate needs support, which isn’t ideal. My spiritual counselor reminded me, “This is what we have.”

Tomorrow I might walk around a nearby neighborhood to look at people’s holiday decorations, or I could visit the large shopping center for the same purpose. On Friday is Guadalupe Day, and I plan to celebrate with tacos.

A good, distant friend recently recovered from a respiratory illness and was just discharged from the hospital. I’ll send caring thoughts for her continued recovery.

My Morning Pages practice is going well; the entries are saved in the Journal and some of it is copied in this Stan.Notes . I’ve accumulated over 60,000 words which fraction of my writings. These pages give each morning shape and meaning, which is especially valuable since I don’t have a traditional work environment.

Tonight I’ll listen to the Moby Dick audiobook. The house has already gone dark for the night. Although I’m awake for up to 24 hours a day, my housemate sleeps most of that time, leaving me with a lot of idle time. Days feel long, yet weeks and months seem to fly by.
