November can be a bleak month but it is also National Blog Posting Month. So I will blog the bleakness away. I missed day 1 yesterday. I was visited by a darkness that drained my energy. I wasn’t paying attention. I was naive and left myself wide open. I’ve made a nice recovery. My atennas are up and functioning. I will not let anyone’s darkness in.

I think of mom in the morning. We watched the sun rise. I made my steelcut oats in the microwave, added a bit of coconut oil, a few haskaps and pecans. It was tasty and filled me with warmth. Then I read a few pages of the murder mystery book from the library. Charlotte Vassell’s The In Crowd is pretty engaging. It takes my mind off things that needed to be offed, at least for a little while.

I have a load of laundry on the go. The breakfast dishes are done. I had a pileup yesterday that took me forever. I like to manual wash. It feels like I’m washing off the grime from yesterday. It feels like cleaning off evil. Now it’s time for lunch. And I have laundry to hang up. Not a novel and not much of a post, but it is something.
