Thanks everyone for the hugs and comments on my dark posts yesterday. I'm not gonna take them down; they are content-warned.
I don't necessarily have a glimmer of hope today, but I had some decent rest overnight, and I don't have work pressures today (well I have some meeting notes I need to clean up and send off).
Regardless of if my friend wants to go, I'm going to go sit by the county lake later this afternoon.
I often amuse myself when I make lists. Two things that are on my Lake List today are water for bees and peanuts for crows. I will take a shallow pie pan and pick up some rocks to put in it on our picnic table so if bees decide to visit us, hopefully they will find some refreshment.
I'm determined to befriend local crows if they'll have me, and one of my friends tells me that raw unshelled peanuts are the way to do it.
It's not terribly warm out today, but that's what layers are for!
