I’ve had a good morning. The card reader on the gym door was working today, so we exercised as usual. I liked walking in the park, but I like to work myself a bit harder without worrying about tripping on something as I did in in the park, with all the mossy steps, bumps, breaks in the concrete, etc. It was good to be back.

We had a good breakfast of 1/2 of a breakfast burrito (ham, scrambled eggs, salad and dressing rolled up in a burrito) with a slice of cantaloupe and two slices of Thai apples on the side, plus mushroom tea with bone broth added.

I am looking like a woman in need of a bit of attention lately, having my nails grown out or the polish peeled off entirely in places, plus my hair is an exploded dandelion. We’ve had lots of other priorities, but we’re trying to get me so I’m not an embarrassment to my son. I went for a mani/pedi this morning and Brian is trying to get me an appointment with the hair stylist.
I love the sparkly colors! There were nail samples done in silver and gold, but they made my hands look ‘dead,’ so I went for the color here. I feel like I’m much better groomed now. Maybe my guitar practice will go better with my hands looking better….. 😂 😜 🎸
I’m going to show this pic to my hair stylist when I go. I know I won’t look like this, but I really like the tousled look, the short sides and back, and the longer bangs and top. I’ll be able to wash it in my daily shower after the gym and blow it dry quickly. However it turns out, it’ll look like “someone had a plan” – a distinct improvement.

These are my latest painted sketches.
I’m going to head over to the cafe soon to work on a sketch I started yesterday. I also plan to do a few thank you cards, plus I have ideas for more sketches. Yesterday I felt a ‘presence’ while I was working. I looked up to find an Asian man with white hair with his family behind him. He smiled at me, gave me a thumbs up, and said, “Nice!” Isn’t it amazing how NICE people are?
