Day 2 of No Reading

Yes  - its um, interesting this no reading thing.  I find it hard to not write.  Or communicate.  Funny to be doing it one sided, like broadcasting.  Well, narrow casting.  I am not sure that many people are reading this!

I am finding it really energising.  Slipping into mindless internet browsing is so easy and this embargo has stopped me wasting my time doing that.  Even eating feels more satisfying.  As I can't escape to somewhere else and distract myself while doing it.  Its making me more present in everything I am doing. 

I am not sure what to do as my Artists Date this week.  Its an 'invitation to play' apparently.  So it ought to somehow be fun.  I am inclined to go a bit worthy with everything I do.  So  - I want this one to be purely delightful.  Just for mine own delight.  2 hours.  I'd like to do a floatation tank thing.  I am considering dancing - but that feels energetic and requiring of bravado to get there and start.  I would like to go to storytelling or maybe the cinema on my own.  To see something.... planned or unplanned.  Horse riding - that has to happen at some point.  I can ask Charlotte about that.  Oh and I need to make a Moussakka.  And get some outer spacers (sherbet in paper shaped like flying saucers)  That's about doing things you liked doing as a kid.  Maybe putting records on and dancing in shorts.  HA!  hilarious. 

The other thing I am gearing myself up to is this detox.  No caffeine, no sugar, no dairy... I have now bought myself some proper decaff coffee to make expresso decaf with.  And I need to buy some almond milk to go with that.  Hanover will sell me that I am sure. 

And we need to sort out Bub's 8th birthday party - party bags (Star Wars / Space themed) and a home made banana cake with no sugar in that we can eat.  And a sugary one for everyone else who like sugar. 

Its funny how we none of us even like sugar any more.  Its just off menu completely!

And I am going to be very very busy in November and December.  Lots of work.  Don't let myself be so busy I can't stop myself from being busy.  Keeping my Fridays and my Art Journaling in.  Needed.  Breathing space.
