Diary, Feb. 20, 2023
I had a wonderful time; I am happy to be home…I am happy for tomorrow, I want to pick up my canvas again, the still life with the pink glow; the glow I’d painted first, and it’d made the mood I’d wanted, and reminded me of “undertones” in art. It is without the main subject…

Wellness, Water Hydration, My First Novel, First Week of Full Focus
*The water intake change has really made me feel sufficiently well (the most normal I’ve felt) and not impulsive: I was just drinking water all the time thinking more must be better, but that was very likely washing away medicine and so less effective. While not staying thirsty, I am gradually drinking about 9 cups…
