Ladybug Zenith

I woke up early today. Not sure why. It certainly isn't habit - not one I'm too aware of at least. It was grey in the sky, and flurrying to add to its elegance. Grey elegance. Eh. I woke my mum up and told her we should eat. Eat more than we eat in the evening at least. Eventually we made a breakfast burrito, and then I took half a Paxil. She left, and I did something. Buttered around the house I suppose. Took a bath I believe. I added some oils to it, which made it feel a bit smoother. Erica called sometime after that, saying she still wanted to go to yoga. That was surprising. My mum came home, and we went to yoga. Erica had showed up early, surprise. We laid our mats in a different spot, one my mum thought was better. There was a younger girl there, who Erica apparently knew. As we left we exchanged two simple hellos.

Erica came home with us, because my mum wanted her to help us calm my brother down. We had stopped at the dollar store and bought a water and some batteries. My mum believed it was some sort of peace offering. We saw John briefly as we pulled into the parking lot. At home I made a wrap with hummus and left over salad, some feta cheese as well. I took a 5-htp after eating that. Erica hung around a bit and we sat in the kitchen and talked with my mum. They ate some of the cheesecake Jack had bought my mum for her birthday. I guess I really bruised Erica's leg with a log the other day when we went for a hike. It wasn't all my fault, but definitely my doing. The sun began to come out, which was surprising. Eventually I brought her home, but first we stopped at the cemetery to pick up some rocks. It was sunny and the birds in the thickets at the edge of the woods distracted me. I was supposed to be finding some big rocks to put into the car, and Erica was talking a little - but I couldn't help but be drawn away by the sound of the birds and the dark blue sky that hangs over the horizon. Finally I dropped her off.

When I got home I went over to visit Mike. Mike was visiting Mike, and eventually he left. I watched some television with Mike, and towards the end Garrett came over. I left a bit after that. I went into the woods to get the maple sap, but one of the bottles had been pierced and so it was empty. Twilight's dark blue crept over the vally, and it was pleasant to see. Mike eventually came over, and my mum and I ate pancakes for dinner. They had feta cheese in them, and we used our own maple syrup.

My mum's friend, David, had left his late-dad's gloves at the top of the cemetary, so my mum asked me and Mike to drive up and look for them in the dark. When we got to the top of the cemetery you could see the zenith of the sky crisply. The stars were very clear. We found the gloves and drove home.

Nate and Garrett were hanging around on the side of the road in Nate's car. I talked to them for a bit, before my mum called. She asked me to go buy some food for my brother so that he could take his medicine. It's been nearly a week since he had his wisdom teeth, and it seems his pain has only increased with time. I went to the hills and bought him some soft foods. After I got home, my dad called and I talked to him for a while. He talked to my about my nutrition. Afterward I attempted to do a pastel of the jarred dead lady bugs. I didn't like it very much. I am going to bed later than usual tonight.
