Inspired Energy

I feel like I'm getting my GROOVE back. 

Hormone regulation? Maybe. I'm on a higher dose of a patch and a new vial of cream.

What's better?

Sleep

Recovery

Energy

"Mental" Energy

I have 2 kinds of energy issues. What you normally think of -- can't run faster, get winded hiking, etc. But there's another kind of energy issue that I hadn't noticed until hormones went wonky.

Let's call it mental energy or desire energy. 

Something that I enjoy -- yep, but let's punt it to next week. 

Afternoon free -- great, let's watch re-runs on TV instead of that fun thing. 

Interesting -- love it, but let's not actually do it, just think about it.

Nothing that takes a lot of physical energy, but it takes some other kind of energy. And I'm talking about things I LOVE to do. But it's things I don't HAVE to do. When that energy flops, my day flops. 

This is what's improving again. 

On that note ... progress on the Happy Rock Snake.

Pouring rain and I went to a rock quarry. CLIMBED a pile of river rocks after trudging through mud up to my shoe top ... luckily wearing my washable trainers. I was filthy and soaking wet. The London Fog long yellow rain jacket is only water resistant hah, but it wiped down nicely. 

They were helpful and walked me to the pile and held an umbrella while I chose the rocks. One bag $6. I only filled half a bag (too heavy) so she gave it to me half price. I have a feeling I might go back (on a nicer day) if I want to grow the rock snake. 

Tell me this doesn't already
look like a snake head?!?

Washed and drying.

WAY heavier than it looks.
Only $3

PICTURE THIS :

house to myself ...

pouring rain out the window.

Come on (!!) Delightful.

All brought to you by this other kind of ENERGY.

It was slow, homebody, peaceful, relaxing, reflective, creative. Filled my tank afternoon. 

I need better way to describe it ... hold on ...

"Hello, ChatGPT I have a question."

Zeal

Zest

Life Spark

Playful drive

Joyful momentum

Inspired energy 

I like "inspired energy" since it feels energy adjacent and I've been calling it another kind of energy. Thanks, Chat.

Off to start the day. No rain, but overcast. Rain all day again tomorrow (probably canceling a hike). 

Hair appointment.

Picking up new eye glasses in mid-town.

HBD dinner for my DIL tonight. 

Hope you have an inspired energy day. (Prepare to hear this phrase a lot hah.) Later gators.
