~ Was absolutely unproductive last night. I played some Torchlight, washed the dishes, read a little, and otherwise just screwed around online.
Which doesn't sound too bad, because I'm trying to keep activity to a minimum until I get my health card and can get new medications for my lungs, but there's still plenty of things I could do that involve me being perfectly stationary. Like reading more. Or making a whole load of progress in a video game. Or catching up on some TV. That all counts as being productive, I figure, when it's all stuff I want to do. But instead I just jump from one activity to another and don't get much accomplished with any particular thing.
Sometimes I frustrate myself that way.
~ Now that the weather's turning colder, I feel like I should knit things. I think I know where most of my yarn stash is packed, but I'm not so sure about my knitting needles, so finding supplies might involve many chilly trips to the basement. Still, it will be worth it when I can get back to some half-finished knitting projects.
Though I really ought to finish my current embroidery project before I do anything else like that...
~ There's a new farmer's market nearby called Mango Fresh Produce, which unlike the regular farmer's market is open all week long. Because I was woken up early again, I decided to take a walk and check it out.
They don't have much there at the moment, and it's only been around for about a month or so, but it's nearly all local produce, except for the imported stuff like daikons and starfruit and different kinds of tea! There's more variety there than at the farmer's market I usually go to. I bought ginger root, a daikon, some yellow plums, pears, a bag of garlic bulbs, and a persimmon, and it all came to less than $12.
There was more I wanted to buy, like cinnamon pecans and ground cherries, but that's enough for now, and I can go back another day and get more fruits and vegetables.
They're also practically next door to a local bakery, so except for meat, I can get just about every perishable thing I eat in one small area. I love it!
~ And now I just feel spectacularly dizzy and nauseous, so I think I'm going to spend tonight lying down a lot.
