white flowers, purple pencils, pink sky, brain remembers something obscure and forgets something important

The white orchid flower tree in a pot this morning.

This is how crazy my brain is. I woke up in the middle of the night with an earworm refrain from Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Do you know how long it has been since I heard that song? Decades, so long I can’t tell you how long. Seriously, where did that come from, dredged up by what?

I’ve done almost nothing the past four days. I went to yoga Monday night and tonight and grudgingly did the week’s grocery shopping yesterday. That’s the most ambitious I’ve been especially since I completely forgot about my primary care check-up yesterday morning. Even after getting the bloodwork done early and did the check-in online on Saturday, checked my calendar Monday to remind myself of the day and time and still I completely forgot until almost noon. Damn it. So now I’ve rescheduled for the end of August.

I liked the drawing of the woodland violet so much better after I worked on it while looking at the image on my computer that I decided to do the same to the other of the four violet drawings I did that I plan to go forward on, rejecting the other two for various reasons. Did it come out better? Oh hell no, in fact it’s worse to the point that I’m discarding the whole thing. It’s beyond repair at this point. Better to start over. I guess, maybe, I don’t know. I’m just disgusted with it right now.

We made our errand run earlier today. The Michael’s only had two of the five of the purple pencils I wanted but I selected 8 more of various colors I didn’t have just at random.

The display for the pencils was about half empty so maybe later they’ll have a better selection. Then onto the liquor warehouse where besides vodka, tequila, and whisky, we also bought some of those new THC beverages (and so of course on the way home the news reported that the Texas Senate approved the second reading of a bill to ban THC products with the final vote on Friday. Our governor has already vetoed one bill to ban those products telling them to regulate them, not ban them so we’ll see what happens). Then it was on to Costco and I saw there was a Michael’s across the street in the shopping center which I knew was there and forgot. That bigger store in a bigger populated area would probably have had a better selection of pencils. Oh well, might have to make a special trip out there. Anyway, our small freezer and the pantry are now stuffed. 

And once again the coolant in the car AC has all but leaked out, each can only lasts about two weeks so I hope Mikey can get to my car this weekend.

Tonight’s sky.
