An Average Day
 |
| Ring Necked Plover 2018 Dead Creek, Addison, Vermont |
Up, wash, dress and make coffee is how my day begins. I journal, computer, online, and then have a restful prayer or ponder moment before I move to do anything. There are days I make breakfast, and days I don't eat until lunch time. Counting my errands' stops, there are about eleven places with an average of 3 or 4 on one day. There are days when I go nowhere. I live a small life in reality, and a medium global life online.
When I'm home from food shopping, if there isn't something sweet (fruit, soda, chips, baked goods) or crispy greasy to have, then I feel like I didn't buy anything to eat. I rarely buy those things. Thus, I often have a hungry vibe going on for what to eat.
Forage style eating is how I consume food. Whatever is the easiest to access for a nice chomping moment, that is what I will grab first. For that reason, I put a ban on my buying peanut butter (to stop myself from snacking on big spoons of peanut butter).
Here's the kicker. I think my average days are normal, like lots of other folks. I don't engage in anything unusual, except maybe sometimes hours of sitting in a chair depressed and napping.
The depression slump I've posted about is finally lifting. I increased my vitamin intake; and, get more sleep more often.

This morning I went through photograph folders for 2018. The bird pictured here didn't have a name. Searching the area online, I found a page with the bird under a different name, Baird's Sandpiper. It took a few searches from remembering it as a plover, to find the right identification. If I am wrong, then please leave a comment.
Don't Need What?
The vintage 1950-60s decorative metal platter that I told myself I don't need, is now hanging on my wall by the front door. I went back and bought it this week. The $2.50 plus tax, it is worth the smiles.
