This has felt like a hard day to me. I was able to stay home all day but felt very restless and it was hard to settle in today. I don’t like the July 4 holiday and the sound of the booms and pops all day has rattled me. I’m betting it will really get loud at dusk and afterwards. Last night was hard during the fireworks show. I couldn’t see them but sure could hear them.
I was wondering for a bit yesterday why this felt new to me and realized last year at this time I was in Costa Rica so I missed the first July 4 in this house. I will need to remember to go somewhere quiet next year.
I took some sort of a nap this afternoon. I had trouble sleeping and even napping felt hard and restless today. Not sure why I am sitting in this energy today but it is what it is. Trusting it will do whatever it needs to do today and tomorrow will be a better day for me.
I have to have Sophia at the Vet at 10:00 tomorrow morning to get her drain out. Trusting that will go well. Sophia is restless today and wants to go outside in her pen. Hoping the Vet will give us the OK to let her do that after her drain is gone tomorrow. If not, we will have to wait until her stitches are out in another 8 – 10 days.
I thought about going to Costco today and looked up and found that they were closed today. Grateful I checked before I drove to Wichita and found it out that way. I may go tomorrow afternoon or Sunday.
I had quit taking the Celebrex the orthopedic doctor had prescribed for my knee and my knee started aching again this morning. I took a Celebrex and it quieted back down again. Still using the prescription cream he prescribed but evidently I need both to keep the knee happy and quiet. I’m going to try only one Celebrex a day instead of two and see if that will give me enough relief. I really don’t like taking medication if I absolutely don’t need it.
Days like this are hard. There is no reason I know of now that should make me so restless yet I am. I feel both hungry and full at the same time. Nauseous and yet craving food at the same time. Unsettled in many ways today. Maybe I am experiencing both ends of the spectrum at the same time today. Holding both and not finding balance. And this too shall pass.
Grateful for a quiet week ahead, grateful the booms and pops will lessen after today, and grateful tomorrow is a new day.
