Wednesday afternoon I meant to make a grocery list and somehow ended up with three tabs open about compounds people mention after the usual prescription path. I made tea, read for twenty minutes, and noticed the pull wasn’t really science — it was novelty.
I’m 14 months into this empty-nester restart, walking two miles after breakfast and cooking more soups than I ever did when the kids were home. What I actually want is a steady evening, not a new experiment.
I closed the tabs, wrote “bored with the routine?” on a sticky note, and went for my walk. The soup that night was lentil and carrot, and it made three lunches.
Has anyone else had a curiosity phase that turned out to be restlessness?
