I did not sleep well last night. I was uncomfortable and awake more than once. I woke up a little after 5 and checked my phone to see what my fitbit said about my sleep. Nothing. Sometimes it doesn't record anything, for no reason I know of. Today, though, I found that I had plugged my fitbit in yesterday and never unplugged it and put it back on. Can't blame it for not recording anything! I stumbled to the couch in the living room and covered myself with a blanket, avoiding the dog who was huddled in front of our door. Some days he seems particularly needy, but mostly he sleeps on the rug in the living room. He followed me out and lay down on the small rug in front of the front door. I read on my phone and eventually went back to sleep, having peculiar dreams where I was in some sort of ceremony, like 4H awards or Girl Scouts. I was always going the wrong way or wearing the wrong clothes...possibly this relates to the installation of something in the book I was reading. Anyway, when I woke up it was full daylight and I was quite disoriented. Yesterday involved going to a store called Part & Parcel, which is run by a nonprofit, I believe it supports neurodivergent people. They sell things without any packaging: bulk flours, wooden toothbrushes. It's a little limited and usually expensive, but I like to go there first and see if they have anything on my list. Turns out, they're closed on Mondays. We did go to Cocoa Cinnamon and get Ray coffee and me tea (it's nearby). Then we went to the Coop and got most of the things we needed. Their baking chocolate is Guittard and costs over $8, so I couldn't bring myself to do that. We stopped at the New and Nearly New store and bought a couple big jars (for beans), as well as a "new" puzzle and a couple other things. Then to Harris Teeter for a few more things from the list: baking chocolate, lens solution, ice cream. Their store brand is all natural and has very few ingredients; cheaper than Breyer's! That was our big excitement for the day. Then we worked on our taxes. It looks like we will owe the federal government, but get a refund from Massachusetts. We ate dinner later than usual, watched Deep Space Nine and Bob Hearts Abishola. It was a sunny day and the temperature got to 60. Today will be similar. Yay!
