well, it’s an app on my cell phone. but i am usually awake before it goes off.

it’s because i am becoming an old person. so i just have these habits … like getting up early with the birds and enjoying it, also collecting sweaters!

the sun is my alarm clock as well!! so … i sleep in a lot in the winter!

to learn as much as i can, and laugh more than that.

for real.

i just want to learn all the things. and laugh at it all. because life is an endless cosmic joke.

and then it ends!

… at this point in the pandemic … just getting through the days, i tell ya.

my ideal day would begin between 5 and 7 am … with a quiet #CannaCoffee

it would involve morning time in the yard, with the grass dewey under my feet, and the hot sun coming in for the afternoon

my entire day would be spent working on yard projects, food prep, and plants! workworkwork! all day long!

and it would end with a hot bath right before bed.

the details don’t matter, really … it’s the routine of it.

i like to just get things done around my homestead. i like spending time with plants, and growing them, then eating them.

i would like to spend all day every day in the hot sun in my yard.

Yes. I have.

It was one of the hardest things I have ever dealt with in my life.

I would never wish even a fraction of the feelings on my worst enemy, to be honest.

I hated everything and wanted to die for quite a while. I wasted years living that way. And I will never have those years back. But I can make sure I never waste any more time in that frame of mind!!

Well … I thought I needed to quit smoking, so I did.

Second guessing myself, probably … that’s something I need to quit doing to achieve my goals.

I second guess myself ALL the time. And it’s interesting often because, often, people will ask me what I think they should do, or what’s the right thing to do … and I don’t even actually know most of the time. But, for whatever reason, I … always second guess my self. I have such heavy self doubt.

If I could get rid of it, just … eliminate that from my life … I would be SO much more productive than I am currently!

It depends on the day … sometimes I am out before my head even hits the pillow. Sometimes it can take hours to fall asleep.

I am not sure what the rhyme or reason is, either. I just take it as it comes, really. And I try to listen to things that help me feel sleepy. I like crime podcasts a lot. This one in particular, Criminally Listed, is my favourite. The guy has a really interesting way of talking that totally knocks me out!

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.”

well … i don’t like to speak power to things that are scary to me.

so … i won’t.
