Jul 10

Wednesday and Thursday very high anxiety and very low energy. This catastrophe in the Texas Hill country nearly did me in.

Turned off TV, unplugged phone, NO doom scrolling.

Sat out in the yard listening to the birds. Played ole Waylon Jennings, and read my book.

Much better today!

The kid cats are right - sometimes you need a cuddle and purrrrr!

Light and love
