The Wandering Hermit: Fields Draped In Fog

Well, yesterday proved disastrous.  I’m hoping for a better day today, but it would be hard for it to be worse.  I was having a lot of feelings and by afternoon I was just over everything.  I ended up sleeping early, which was best.  I don’t know what my issue was.  I had woken up slightly off and never did quite shake it.  

This morning’s walk was lovely.  The fields were draped in fog, which never doesn’t feel magical.  I saw a deer cross the road, crows overhead, and a rabbit in the distance.  That’s of course in addition to tall the birds chattering away in the morning.  It’s nice; I’m going to miss that.  I’m sure wherever I end up living will not be as full of wildlife as this place is.  That is a shame.  

I might try to get some things moved to Edmond today.  I have some things that would be nice to get rid of for a while.  Just boxes of books, kitchen stuff that’s been packed for a while… things like that.  I think we will eventually appreciate any effort we put in early, especially with boxes of books.  

One good thing from yesterday was that rice I made.  I did jasmine rice and kale, portioned out into 200 calorie servings.  That sort of replaced my oatmeal for a couple of days.  It was a great mix.  I might even try getting those down to 150 calorie servings and using that as my starch for a bit.  I’ve been enjoying potatoes, but I do have a lot of rice at the moment.
