Reluctantly awake. Lots of rain overnight, I was awake for some time and heard it drumming against the window. I finally fell back asleep, my right hand was on top of Ginza and the left was under the blankets underneath her. I could feel her softly purring.

But somehow I got up when the alarm woke me. I've eaten breakfast and fed Ginza hers. She's now snoozing on the upper perch in her cat tree and looks adorable as always.

Me? I'm far from looking adorable.

I'm awake and going slowly about putting myself together. I don't think I'll be awake and lively enough to walk or cycle before the rain arrives today. That's fine, I'm okay with taking a zero day.

After eating my first breakfast, that's when I finally felt hungry. I had to force myself to go through the routine of heating up breakfast because I was disconnected from my sense of hunger.

Ginza has been having fun chasing a small ball around.

It's started raining and it's big huge blog of green on the radar that's going to be moving across the area.

If I'd been on top of my game today I would have gotten up earlier and did at least a walk or a bike ride before the rain arrived. But I'm still a long way away from being anywhere close to on top of my game and extra rest and food is beneficial too.

While the rain is still light, I took a short walk of 1.15 miles to get time on my feet and some activity.

But too wet for me to ride with clothing I have available for me. I'd get chilled badly if I tried to ride in this.

I'm awake. Slept better last night than the night before. Body feels better this morning, the legs especially. Supposed to be sunny today and temps will climb to near 70F. It'll be nice to take an easy pace bicycle ride after work.

I've had breakfast and will soon feed Ginza hers. Right now she's sleeping on a perch high up in her cat tree.

Omg Ginza looks so adorable the way she's sleeping up on the perch right now but know there's no way I can capture it with the cellphone camera.

Getting a load of laundry done.

Ginza is enjoying the sunshine coming in through the window.

I just did the smart thing of putting the sunscreen can in the bicycle helmet so I don't forget to put sunscreen on for my ride this afternoon.

Ginza wants to say hello the Fediverse.

dangerously multi tasking this morning, doing work, washing laundry, taking a shower, and now cooking chicken thighs

but so far I'm holding together and feeling okay

26.5 mile bicycle ride, ate dinner, 1.25 mile walk. Wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather, because tomorrow we go back to clouds and showers.

Does anyone like keeping odd sleep hours?

I fall asleep between 6pm and 7:30pm every night and wake up between 2:30am to 4:30am.

Great thing about social media is that whatever time you are awake, there are always autistic and ND people around the world awake and online.

@ashleyspencer

those are basically my hours of sleeping too

I feel yesterday's physical activity still. I will need to be slower paced today. When I do walk and cycle, I will need to make them relaxed and recovery level at most. Body needs to recover today and I will want to feed it well.

Had a dream with my mom in it last night. Told her how I had been diagnosed with ADHD and that had helped me sort out a lot of stuff and reduced feelings of guilt and shame.

I've had breakfast. Will soon feed Ginza hers.

Weather forecast says we'll get more sunshine today than yesterday. Might reach the low 60s F. Tomorrow might reach mid 60s. Then back to clouds and showers for 4 straight days. But maybe after that a stretch of days with sunshine and temps climbing into the 70s. I hope that comes true. I'm tired of cloudy, damp, and chilly weather.

It always makes me happy to feed Ginza her breakfast and dinner. She's such a wonderful cat and I love her, her spirit and intelligence.

@GinevraCat

moving is super hectic! I'm glad you're getting settled down from that.

I imagine that me moving 3 time zones westward is probably another reason.

I hope you're doing well. Ginza and I are doing well and getting adjusted to the new environs.

Sunshine finally started breaking through the morning clouds. Ginza was sleeping up on a perch in her cat tree.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" I said to her. "The sun is finally shining."

Ginza looked down to where I was pointing at the sunshine on the bed. She quickly jumped down and when she entered the sunshine, she made one of her happy squeaky chirps.

The brain is bumbling along today. I feel better than when I woke up, but I can still feel the effects from cycling and walking yesterday which I did at harder effort than what I've often been doing. So my body feels that today.

Plus it looks like my body never quite got down into deep sleep mode last night.

I suspect right now with where I am in this over recovery and rehab process, my body doesn't have much reserve in a sense. So that hard effort depleted me.

Ginza in the hidey-hole on her cat tree.

As the day has passed, I've decided that yesterday took a lot out of me. Enough so I won't cycle today, but I still will take a short walk of 30 to 40 minutes to help circulate blood.

Ginza toe beans.

getting ready to go for a lollygag walk and enjoy the sunshine

still not as warm as I'd like but at least we got sunshine today

IzabelaKaramia,
@IzabelaKaramia@writing.exchange avatar

Lollygag walk of 1.6 miles done. Took photos of pretty flowers along the way to keep me lollygagging.

After the walk I got a medium pot of veggie mash started cooking and then spent time working on cleaning and lubing the chain on the bicycle. Probably some time in the next month I will order a new chain but this one works decently enough for now, plus it's given me practice on cleaning and lubing it.

Cleaned dishes before mashing the veggie mash. Mashed the mash and put it into storage containers. Washed the pot et al used to make the mash.

I'm tired. I'll be in bed shortly after 6.

I'm trying to explain to Ginza she doesn't need to show me how fierce she is by attacking the power cable to the Macbook.
