I'm again awake early. Largely because of the itchiness from the sunburn I got on Thursday and Friday. I've been using aloe vera and hydrocortisone cream to ease symptoms, but it's going to take another day or two to subside.
I should have bought sunscreen the weekend before this one. I bought some yesterday and used it, but I had already gotten burnt.
But on the good side of how I've had outdoor time 5 straight days, I've walked 11.3 miles and biked 30.9 miles. Feels so good to move again.
It's Caturday. It's May 11, 2024 and that means it was one year ago today that I first fed Ginza. I had been seeing her around in the weeks prior and earlier prior to the photo, I had taken a bag of garbage to the bin. I spotted her underneath the light blue vehicle and when I went back to my apartment, I put some dry kibble in the plastic dish, brought it out and put it down in the empty parking space. Then backed away until finally she came out. #CatsOfMastodon#Caturday
Supposed to be sunny all day and temp will reach the low 70s
Ginza has become such a sleeping buddy. She loves it when I get in bed and she can then come to knead the blankets of a spot next to me and curl up alongside me.
My body feels okay but I'm not sure how well the brain will do. Getting the needed nutrients is helping, but I'm sure the body is often telling the nervous system I need plenty of good sleep so it can rebuild itself with what it needs.
Today is to have more sunshine earlier on than yesterday and temps will climb into low 60s. So I hope to take a good walk in the early afternoon and again maybe take a short bike ride and see how my legs do with that. The legs feel fine this morning and I hope that the exercise stimulus from yesterday will have good effect in time on circulation and strength.
Ginza is a bit annoyed that I'm not still in bed and sleeping together with her.
I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Ginza seemed to feel the same, she just wanted to remain curled up against me and snoozing.
Weird dreams about being back at places where I used to work. A person asked me if I were pregnant. I said I wasn't, that I was just holding a pumpkin under my blouse with my hands.
Supposed to get sunny today though it won't really warm up until Thursday. But at least there'll be sunshine.
I've awakened early but I went to bed early last evening and had a 90 minute nap in the early afternoon too, so I hope it'll be ok today.
Weather is still quite chilly and damp. Wet really. Maybe I take an easy walk today, maybe I don't. It' s hard to judge sometimes whether it's better to rest more or walk to help circulate blood and help with nutrients getting distributed around the body.
Coming Saturday it's a big anniversary date for events that brought Ginza and me together.
Brain should be better today although the overcast skies and light rain will be a damper on my mood.
Getting ready to run errands for supplies.
Been here for over a month now and starting to form a map in my head, but at times I feel some sort of lost in how I don't feel I have familiar places from my past nearby. A sense of disconnection and being unmoored.
Last night I woke briefly and thought about Longwood Gardens and a sadness that I didn't have time and energy
I woke up early early, about 230, but it's Friday.
Need to keep today on the easy side and when I take a walk after work, it'll be only 30 to 40 minutes and at a slow pace.
Ginza is the best cat in the world.
Supposed to be mild today but clouds are going to roll in and then comes a stretch of gray days, but maybe next week the more summer like pattern starts to take hold and sunnier warmer days become more consistent and frequent.
