Hungry at Last!

 I'm starting with a lovely glimpse of blue sky behind clouds. That is always good to cheer a Michigander in February!

The health report for the day is mixed bag. I sat up more than I have any day since Janary 4. I set a goal to get groceries and walk a mile outside. However, by noon I realized that I was going to be just too tired to do both of those. I did get the groceries.

And, I realized that I was actually hungry! A few foods are still not tasting right, but most are. I came home and made some "glop." That's what I call it when I put some sort of tomato sauce on macaroni and add stuff. Today was onion, green pepper and mushrooms.

I also cleaned my vegetable tray that I keep stocked with things to add to lettuce for salads. It was getting pretty gross. So a picture of it all sparkly and colorful is in order.

All in all, I did quite a few things and about an hour of screen time, but I was also very tired in between the accomplishments.

I still consider it to be moving in the right direction, but things don't seem to go in a straight line. The neuralgia is just weird- little, intermittent flashing pains through my face and eye, and the bones still itch.

I am listening to a 1922 audiobook mystery. It's moving impossibly slowly, and it's read poorly, but I seem to be drawn like a moth to a flame. Almost at the end where I will FINALLY find out "who-dun-it." Hopefully, I can find something a bit more engaging for the next audiobook.

I like the idea with the vegetable tray. All in one place like that is so much easier than the multiple containers I usually have stacked in the fridge.
I've never listened to an audio book. I don't care to have someone else reading a book to me. I don't think I could focus on it like I would if I was reading it myself.

Joan, if you're into older books, don't know if you've ever used librivox but it's all public domain stuff. Downside is it's volunteer readers, so some are not so good. https://librivox.org/
