Hummingwolf Today

Now wearing: My loosest wearabe pair of blue jeans, light-colored shirt I bought last year with a stylized peacock on it (as opposed to the dark brown one with a differently stylized peacock from a couple years ago), turquoise & white socks with stylized seahorses (they don't argue with the peacocks), glasses in the process of falling apart, and boring underwear.

Now feeling: Tired and in pain, but at least there was no huge migraine today!

Music of the day week: Depeche Mode, Sounds of the Universe. Because WRNR kept playing "Wrong" at the right times, because a store had the CD on sale for a dollar less than the price I had in mind when I walked in the doors, and because I still heart Depressed Mode after all these years.

Food of the day: Either the spicy cracker & legume snack mix or the chewy pumpkin candy. Yes, I went to a Korean grocery store today.

Flowers of the day: Lilies! They're everywhere!

What about flowers on trees? Magnolia blossoms. They're mostly not very attractive at the moment, but they do provide the

Smell of the day: See previous response.

Miles walked today: I dunno; possibly four. Feels like a zillion.

Triumph of the day: I was in another part of town, realized that I would not get to the correct Metro station in time to catch the bus to a doctor's office, hurried to nearest Metro station and started taking the train in the direction of a far distant station that I vaguely remembered being near the doctor's office (and on the same bus route), realized I had misremembered, discovered that the station I got off at was a better choice anyway, caught the bus, and arrived at the doctor's office with two minutes to spare. Hooray! And from Metrorail windows today I got to see two of the

Birds of the day: Red-winged blackbirds. When you're staring out at a field of green, one of these suddenly flying in your direction does tend to capture the attention.

Annoyance of the moment: Cell phone battery doesn't want to hold a charge.

Other annoyance of the moment: Computer monitor doesn't want to display the full range of blues. It seems to be in a yellow mood, though it does switch over to the full spectrum sometimes, just long enough to make me think it's serious about being a full-service monitor again.

Something I really need tonight: SLEEP. I should probably go to bed early tonight. Being able to have a productive Saturday would be nice.

i never fail to be impressed by how far you can walk in a given day!

hope you get that sleep.

Well, while yesterday's walking may have been impressive, I didn't walk more than a few blocks total in the previous three days. Energy levels have really been fluctuating lately.

I did get sleep, but I'm not sure it helped. Maybe I just need a good breakfast.

Yay blackbirds and triumphs and magnolias!

I was noticing a flowery scent around here, and I finally realized what was responsible - feral Japanese roses. the flowers aren't very big or remarkable, but we sure have a lot of them here. They're officially listed as a pest, IIRC. But I can't help liking them anyway.

Yay!

I like roses too. The flowers may be pests, but it's hard to hate something that smells that good.

red-winged blackbirds, magnolias and Depeche Mode...three great things :)

Indeed! I don't walk (or otherwise go) near open grassy areas very often, so seeing male blackbirds flying was a special treat. :-)

Wait, what? "And from Metrorail windows today I got to see two of the" I need the end of that sentence. Or did you do that on purpose to see if anyone was paying attention?

The next item finishes that sentence. :-)

(Possibly I should have been clearer about that. But as tired as I was last night, it's amazing that I finished any sentences.)

Hmm, well, I was pretty tired when I read it, so maybe that explains why I didn't quite getting it.

Is okay. There are days when I have trouble finding enough brain cells to understand LOLcats..
