This has been a busy day for me. I got some sleep last night so didn’t have to take a nap today – good thing as I didn’t have time for one.

The new Director at Pioneer Bluffs brought by the material that needs put together for a Newsletter to go out next week. I haven’t started on it but it looks like it will be a fairly quick one to do as there are only three pieces to put inside the outer envelope. I will work on it tomorrow. I have till Monday morning to get it done so I will work on it off and on all weekend. I need to go to the post office tomorrow morning and get a few trays to put the completed envelopes in.

I went over to visit with a friend for a bit and share an Instagram post with her. We had a nice chat – it had been too long since I had taken time to do that.

This afternoon a dear friend came over for an energy session. I hadn’t done one for a long time. Felt good to do one and to find the basics came back to me. We had a nice long visit before and after the energy session. It did my soul good to have a very deep conversation and to be trusted with someone else’s concerns. The weight of the world is lighter when the load is shared. The resilience of the human spirit is wonderfully beautiful to behold.

The hospital called to schedule the stress test and echocardiogram this afternoon. They like to do both on the same day but the first available is September 15. They can do the stress test next Tuesday morning so I opted to do that and then do the Echocardiogram on the 15th of September. My blood pressure is still running way too high and I want to find out if there is something going on with my heart that is causing this. Hopefully the stress test will relieve my concern.

Sent a note to the lady that has been helping us with Kathy’s new insurance. I haven’t heard back from her but I know she will get back to me sometime next week. Still trying to figure all this out and I needed some professional advice and help.

I still need to read and reply to all the birthday greetings I got on Facebook. I want to take my time with them and haven’t found the time to do that yet.

I will be working on the Newsletter this weekend. I don’t have anywhere to go until I go to KC Monday. Then Tuesday I have the stress test in the morning and then a lunch with friends. The rest of next week is empty space

It was so fun to do an energy healing today. I didn’t realize how much I missed doing them until today. It was also good for my soul to have two deep conversations today with dear friends. It has been too long since I made that happen. Connection to other humans is good food for my soul.

Feeling a bit tired this evening. It will be good to have two quiet days at home. Hoping some additional rest will help my blood pressure calm down. The Newsletter is repetitive boring work so that might help too.

Grateful for time with friends today, grateful I remembered how to do an energy balance, and grateful for the cool weather headed our way this weekend.
