Music in the park was canceled due to poor air quality but at least I don't have to worry about where I'm going to pee or find parking or worry whether covid will drift into my nostrils and destroy me.
So it's a crossword puzzles at home day. I've discovered that I am very good at crossword puzzles and enjoy doing them. It prevents brain rot. I'm on level 35 on the wordscapes app. It starts out too easy but gets more challenging as you go. I do it every day now. I like the positive reinforcement it gives every time I solve a word.
I made two iced cold brew coffees with cream and royal jelly today and I feel like I'm flying.
I used my head scratcher so much while crosswording that I inadvertently gave myself a beehive.
My mood is better on the days when I remember to take both vitex and shatavari together. The magnesium I absorb from epsom salt baths helps too. And I went to bed early last night and had a long full night's sleep. Could also be the royal jelly and caffeine and healthy homemade cherry cardamom donuts that have me feeling content.
I've been enjoying baking again. It's relaxing and rewarding. I like whisking and choosing spices to add and then congratulating myself when it turns out delicious. It's a sensual activity. The smells, the alchemy that produces the desired texture and taste. I replaced sugar with banana and it turned out really well, I was pleased with myself to have created such a healthy donut.
