One of those mornings when I wake up crying from loneliness but I don't have the energy to actually deal with people. OIMSOEMO. Probably what I need most right now is more sleep. Chances are excellent that I will instead spend the day reading and drinking tea and listening to music, which sounds like a good plan now that I think about it. As long as I avoid nearly all news about the seemingly neverending political campaign, maybe I'll be okay after all.

This week hasn't been terribly eventful, except for the brief moments when it was. Bought some Winesap apples at a very small local farmers' market (the market was very small, not the farmers) the other day, then came home, napped, went downstairs to a house meeting where we chatted for about four hours. Yesterday's main event was a trip to the library, where I returned one book and checked out three more. Missed the Tuesday TV shows because we were talking, missed the Wednesday show I like because of the third presidential debate baseball, and so am hoping that tonight's Supernatural episode is a good one to help jump-start my imagination (or at least provide attractive men to look at). There is a new Supernatural on tonight, isn't there? Because while too much television rots my brain and leaves me restless, a little bit every week seems to be good for me.

Roughly nine a.m. and time for some breakfast. Perhaps more tea will help improve my mood.

So today I looked at some of those silly personalized online astrology sites to see if any would tell me that I would wake up crying in the morning. One site advised me to sleep late, eat lunch, then go to bed early. Another said that the way to bring out the best of one of today's celestial influences is to spend time with people if at all possible. Well, I may not believe in astrology, but this did make me think that one good thing I could do for myself today is go out and try a newish restaurant I'd been meaning to check out for a while. It's an Ethiopian coffee shop; and while I can't comment on the coffee since I don't drink the stuff, the food was good and filling and fairly cheap if you get the lunch special, with friendly service even if they did seem a little uncertain at times. Not crowded at all this afternoon--only one or two other customers there--though it has been much busier at other times I've passed by. The only disadvantage was that the TV on the wall was tuned to CNN, so I was exposed to the face of George W. Bush as I waited for the food.

Definitely need to get to sleep early tonight, since going to the restaurant wore me out and even a long nap didn't help enough. So maybe a horoscope was right for a change.
