Establishing habits

I've been sick since yesterday. One of my prescriptions does a number on my digestion. Now I'm feeling better. I had to lie down for a few minutes earlier this evening and the dog and the cat(Leeter) both came running and snuggled against me. My spirit felt better after that.

I did some playing in my journal this morning. I dug out some Yes! paste from my supply stash. I've had it for a couple of years but I've never used it. I've been missing out--it's fabulous. You don't need to add much water(I just got my brush damp), so nothing wrinkles. Now I want to do some collage. I usually avoid collage due to the mess potential, but this stuff is just begging to be mooshed onto the page. I used it to glue in a large piece of gift wrap with a pattern I really like. Its chocolate brown with brightly-colored, stylized flowers. The pattern is called "Scandia" and the flowers look vaguly like Dala horses.

Payday is on Friday, so we've made it. I defrosted the last meat in the house this morning and am cooking a meatloaf now. I'm always a little shaky at the end of the month as I tend to eat too many carbs. They're cheaper, though. I'm looking forward to the meat.

I'm not writing very coherently because my head hurts and I'm hungry. Oh well.
