I am not feeling fantastic. However, I've gotten my period, so that could well be it. Also, I had a headache all day. It could also be the calcium. I have no idea. Since I had another nightmare last night (that smoothly transitioned into another nightmare) and had to get up in the middle of the night to eat an apple, I decided this evening to give into my desire to eat more than I should and have a fried lentil crisp. (I ground some red lentils, salt, and pepper in the coffee grinder (that is never used for coffee), added a little bit of water to make a batter, poured it onto a hot skillet with olive oil, and cooked it for a bit on both side. If I made it without the olive oil, it would obviously be much less greasy than it is, but I wanted something fried.) Anyway, the lentil crisp was absolutely delicious. Eventually, I should try cooking it like flatbread rather than frying it in oil. The extra lentils should be enough (hopefully) to stave off low-blood-sugar-fueled nightmares.
In better news, we played some Dungeons and Dragons today. I finished putting the varnish on my cake painting, which looks very nice. I also worked once again on trying to figure out what color the sky is. So far, I think my most accurate test is of cerulean blue mixed with purple. I can't tell right now, though, as I have to wait for sunlight to be sure. I plan on trying these colors out with a mixing white instead of titanium white to see what that does. I also will try painting the background purple and using a very thin wash of cerulean blue over top of that to see if it results in a more accurate color.
I've seen gardening journal books, where you write down what you planted, etc. Instead of using paper, which isn't really my thing, I'm considering making... a database! Surprise!
Oh, and it looks like my sleep is changing. My exercise watch thinks I'm getting more deep sleep. Last night, I also had disgusting nightmares, which I have regularly, and trouble sleeping, which I don't normally have. However, I luckily have Portuguese flashcards, which can overpower any insomnia.
