Doing Nothing, Salmon Patties and Fruit Flies

I don't feel like doing anything anymore. I don't know if it's burnout or fatigue or what. Well, that's not true. I want to do a lot of things, but something always happens. For example, it's not dark yet, and it's still not hot hot yet, so I really wanted to take my laptop outside, and then the silly thing told me I didn't have any Internet, which makes no sense. What's up with that? Has the signal weakened so much that going out on the patio I can't get Internet anymore? So, I'm inside now, no longer able to hear the little birdies sing, but also not able to hear people's air conditioners roaring. If it's not one thing, it's six, as my mother used to say. In front, it's the interstate zooming by, so much so that I don't even notice it anymore unless I go to the country and hear the difference, and people speeding up and down my street. In the back it's people's air conditioners. Apartment living has its pros and cons, for sure. One thing I know. I am in God's care. He knows what I need and what I don't need, and he wants me to always be thankful. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18). Anyway, about not wanting to do anything, a friend from my college teaching days used to say the first few weeks of summer break were like that because you were just recuperating, or adjusting to the change, and you needed to unwind and just take it easy for a few weeks, and I guess that makes some sense, but I had plans for Monday nights, and now I don't have the energy to follow through with them. I wanted to make Monday nights music practice nights, but all I want to do right now is nothing, basically. I have a pile of books I want to read, but I have about ten minutes of attention span, it seems. Maybe tomorrow morning I can practice a little. I did do something today. I had an appointment with the dermatologist about a red spot on my skin that has been there for months, and had it sliced off and sent to the lab for a biopsy. At first someone suggested it might be a spider bite. I had never had a spider bite that I know of, so I thought maybe that's what it was, but then it just never went away. So, I just have to keep it moistened with Vaseline and covered with a band-aid for 10 days or so until I hear from them what the next step is. I also went to the store and bought salmon and tuna and calcium gummies and multi + Omega-3 gummies, buy one, get one free. That was a good deal. I made salmon patties and ate one. It was acceptable, but it had a lot of omega-3 and I feel like I could actually feel something good in my body, kind of like I had put some WD-40 in it or something. Probably my imagination, but maybe not. I have not had a lot of food cravings for the rest of the day like I usually do, so that can't be a bad thing. I've been worried about that. I have a morbid fear of gaining weight.The only problem is I don't care for salmon patties that much. I now have four of them and after they're gone, then I will have to decide whether or not to continue eating them or not. I want to go back outside before it's really dark and listen to the birds for a little while longer. I am going to be thankful for everything and I am mostly glad I know God and have the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life 24/7, and knowing it is all that really matters for now and for eternity is very encouraging to me. On the other hand, knowing that so many people do not know God and do not have the presence of the Holy Spirit in their life is sad. I'm going to go outside for a while now. Oh, no, a fruit fly just attacked me. I knew this would happen if I potted that plant. This cannot stand. I made a trap out of vinegar, Dawn liquid, covered in a little clear plastic dish with plastic wrap over the top with holes in it. I caught one in it. Let's see if this other one goes in the trap too. I'm done.
