High Thought is an intimate, weekly-ish infusion of (high) thoughts that are a mixture of frivolous and (sometimes) profound if I’m lucky. Written with consideration for those interested in the creative process or personal peek behind the curtain into a particularly chaotic brain room. Usually written in tandem with plants for encouragement and flair.

Wearing perfume for moi

This morning I spritzed some perfume on myself because I’ll be spending the day mostly with myself and I like to feel presentable to myself. Wearing perfume for just you is really powerful. Each day I put some on around 7:15am. It gives me a boost and I recommend it. Today it’s Studio Scent by Kismet Olfactive, which I love.

Having tape around

I love tape. I always have it around and it means that I put a lot more life ephemera into the notebook I carry around. The one that is so special to me that I have an Airtag on it.

I grabbed a little scribble from my dad’s desk this morning and put it in there. If I didn’t have tape on my desk, it would have gone in the trash or worse, my drawer…away from the context of what time of year it is or what’s going on in my life right now. It’s important to me to know this for some reason.

my dad’s note. he told me he forgot what all of this in reference to but i like it. : )

But because I have tape, it gets swept up in all of the other ephemera and to-do lists and stickers on bananas I’m eating right now. All of that goes into the notebook because of tape. Shoutout to tape!!!!!

Evercrisp apples

Quick shoutout to apples, too. Upstate New York has incredible apples. My favorite kind is the Evercrisp.

controversially, I think they’re better than the Cosmic Crisp.

Ever since I was a kid, my dad has been obsessed with apples and finding the perfect kind. The apples are better here than in the midwest, so he’s loving living upstate for this reason. I’m going to have an apple now. They are the perfect healthy and delicious snack for someone who often forgets meals and has trouble self-regulating because of ADHD, like moi. I’m learning a lot about myself lately. Like how to use my ADHD as a tool, how to work with and around it. Use it as as a means of divination, even. So I’m learning that and really appreciating good apples.
