early to bed

i got up this morning later than i'd planned, though with nowhere i needed to be.  i prayed, got up and took meds and insulin.  i reheated coffee that i'd made yesterday evening, and had coffee and water with the plate my brother had brought by yesterday.  the food was good and appreciated and i texted him to let him know both.  i started working on a harmony part for a groove i transported to my laptop but its too slow and the recording time is off.  strange how that happens.  so i put it aside.  i messed around far too long on facebook, and then i got dressed and went to my meeting.

the meeting was good, the chapter we read was good, and i found someone to put Heather in touch with, a woman who works a good 12 step program and may be a source of support for her.  i let the woman know and she agreed, provided Heather gets in touch with her when she's able.  and that will clarify a lot of things concerning genuine willingness on Heather's part.  but i'm going to pass my friend's umber along in a letter and look at putting her on Donofrio's waiting list.  it's what i said i'd do.

after the meeting i went to the store.  started to go to Wal-mart but the parking lot there was swollen.  Aldi's was as well but i went anyway.  got lunch and dinner stuff.  came home, got my lunch started while i worked on editing a video, then after i ate i worked on the video in earnest.  it's going to be more documentary-type stuff, but i want to start getting people to buy into the notion of a youngstown organic movement, something homegrown and powerful that can happen and should happen.  so i am working backward this time.  film is edited, now i'm going to write the words, and record them, and then i'm going to put the music to it, compose once i see how it turns out.  learning curve.

i made an alfredo bake for dinner.  it turned out very well, but it was easy enough that i didn't believe it wouldn't.  penne pasta, chicken breast sliced into small pieces, mushrooms, diced green tomato, broccoli, homemade alfredo sauce.  and an egg, becasue one egg i bought from Aldi's had a cracked shell (my fault) and i needed to use it.  very tasty dish.  now, i'm planning on going to sleep.  i am going to the gym in the morning.  i'm going to pay my rent in the morning.  i'm going to pay bills tomorrow.  i'm going to see what i need to do for Syd tomorrow, if she got her pictures done.  and i'm going to do other things that i don't even know about yet.  life is okay, i'm good with it, and nothing is wrong with crashing early.  thank you, Jehovah, for a very nice day.
