My phone autocorrected to Thoth’s instead of Thoughts for moment and I chuckled. Well good morning Thoth how are you today? Two years ago I would’ve thought that name was the planet on Empire Strikes Back.

Completely lost my train of thought now.

Seriously just went brain dead

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep_________________

Saw a random video on TikTok last night about Maine and fought with myself over driving back up there before the first winter storm hit up there. Really want to finish the golden road. I could squeeze a five day trip. Lotta driving. Lot of energy spent.

*sighs

I’m not going to say I’ve ruined myself from nonstop camping quests

But

Watch me pull my arm hairs out if I’m at home for too long.

Our last home has a nice screened in porch in the back the cats would go out there all day. You’d have to drag them back inside by evening time. Our new abode doesn’t have that option and the cats don’t understand. They keep asking to go out to their spot and it breaks my heart. Catio? Yeah maybe.

My point was I get it kitties. Once you know what freedom is like, confinement is painful.

I’m catering my sister’s funeral this morning. I also managed to find a suitable suit that I can piece together in my closet. I won’t be on a GQ mag but it’ll do. I won’t look wrinkly for my sister’s farewell. It’s important to me.

I’ll see some faces I haven’t seen in a while. Funeral small talk is painful I won’t be around long for it.

Man I really lost my subject line this morning. Usually once I start writing it comes back. Today not so much

Maybe I’m not required to write today. I get that

I need to though. My mind needs to stretch outward not inward today.

My music is not pairing with my mood either. Hold please. Pearl Jam ain’t working

Shaking the eight ball in my head 🎱

I’ve got a tattoo appointment Monday to get my leg colored in. I found a framed print on Facebook marketplace I thought was chic. It’s a cowboy riding a horse into the desert with a ufo floating above them and I had it redone in a tattoo form. Sent it to my tattoo guy I haven’t seen in 5 years and here we are.

“Where did you get that idea did a tattoo?” – Facebook marketplace.

I lost interest in tattoos for a while it would seem that when I left the restaurant industry my taste in tattoos went away. Or it was the alcohol but that doesn’t fit. One day recently my mind said “a leg sleeve would be nice”

So here we are. And we gotta a long way to go. I’m on number two of I have no clue how many it will take

Got new glasses too. They’re that clear look everyone is into now. My prescription safety goggles 🥽

I dig em

Anyone remember the Sugar Smacks cereal commercial. Just a damned ole cartoon frog slapping fives with kids.

Dig ’em, smack ’em, sugar smacks, give me a smack and I’ll smack you back” 🐸 🧢 🤚🏼

An animated anthropomorphic with a baseball cap sponsoring childhood diabetes.

“I dig em!”

Cereal had personality in 70s and 80s. My head is filled with dozens on commercial tunes about breakfast.

“Honeycombs big yeah yeah yeah! It’s not small! No no no!”…

I had not intended in writing any of this.

I pick one morning out of the week where I don’t do any of my morning rituals. No meditation, stretching, workout or walks. Nothing done with any spiritual intention. Even these things need a day off. Today is one of these days.

Also

That was the initial subject of my post this morning. So I found it but now I don’t want to pursue it.

Are yall asleep yet?

Even I’m getting drowsy reading this.

I think this is a good stopping point. Better luck tomorrow.
