working memory #2

analog-ing on the page what gets lost in the daily brain & executive dysfunction fog

got up at 5:30; made it to the kitchen before 6.

made it out for a walk just before 6:30. 2.35 miles in 40 minutes 10 seconds.

wrote a bit to the ancestors and put it on the altar.

drove kids to dunkin, came back and made it into the shower before 8, out by 8:10, down the stairs with a minute to spare until homeroom was set to begin.

everyone is reading: austin, fiction; brennan, zora; adrian, malala; and me, sonia sanchez's shake loose my skin. only had a little bit to go before i finished it. done at 9:12.

the sun is finally peeking through the clouds, casting shadows on the fence that are dancing, bobbing.

horoscope says things will be extra busy, but to take time for stillness and to discern anxiety from alignment. if it excites me, say yes. 

lunar eclipse in pisces tomorrow. my ninth house: writing, publishing, dreams, travel, spiritual development, spirituality. touching on what emerged and what ended from 2015 to 2017.

another two-year story is set to begin. in 2015, i decided to pursue art as a career and become a working artist full-time. in 2017, we moved from california to new jersey. purchased this home.

we've been here for eight years. eight equals new beginnings. she said 2024 is a universal eight year. i saw 8:08 on the clock while getting dressed.

9:27. time to transition.
