The Daily - August 31, 2023 - Thursday

After several nights not sleeping well, I got a great sleep last night. Again, some weird dreams - I’m shopping at some close out store with Brenda. Prior to gaining access to the store, we had to board a special bus. But I had intended for drive my car and “someway” I would be able to load my car (Lexi) on the bus. I left the bus queue to get my car but when I arrived where I had parked it, it was gone - taken home by my husband. Problem averted, and I went back to the bus by now we were last in line to enter the store. The store has very little left, but I managed to find some French style perfumes and soaps. Brenda showed me the bed frame her daughter bought previously. It was all so weird! I also picked up a suction cup jumping trinket that I think was shaped in a Sesame Street character like Cookie Monster or Grover. I tested its jumping ability against other similar items. Again, weird stuff.

 

 
I worked out - a fun DJ driven bike class. The music was great and I managed to sing along a little. Then 30 laps in the pool and 15 minutes in the sauna.

 

 
I got home and sucked down 2 large glasses of water and headed to the lab for bloodwork. The nice phlebotomist started with my right arm but the blood stopped flowing so she had to stick me again in the left. She was very nice and in the end she got all the required samples.

 

 
I attended a live watercolor zoom session with the artist I subscribe to on Patreon. The artist, Harriet de Winton, just launched her 3rd watercolor book and held a special live session where we painted a bird’s nest. It was a lot of fun. Here is what I painted - with several bonus North American Robin eggs:

I went for several walks today - the weather doesn’t get any better - so pleasant.
