It turned into a two trip to town day. Kathy came home from town with a cut finger. She had fallen at iHop and cut it. It was rather deep and in a place that was going to have trouble healing without being held together. I took her to the hospital Urgent Care Clinic.
The waiting room at the Clinic was standing room only when we got there. It took them two hours before they called Kathy back. It only took about 20 minutes once she got taken back. They used Super Glue of sorts and then put Steri-strips on it and gave her a tetanus shot.
She may be sore tomorrow from both the shot and the fall. We shall see how she does. A kind couple that was going in the restaurant and saw Kathy fall, stopped to make sure she was OK.
We didn’t get home from the Clinic until after 1:15. I ate breakfast and then got ready to go back to town for my 3:00 exercise session. Exercise went OK today. It was only 37 minutes. I did stretches using a towel today. Something different for me and the time went fairly quickly.
After I finished exercises I went to Walmart to pick up a few groceries and somethings I needed for tomorrow’s ceremony. Got those and came home and put everything away. Went down and took care of the chicken chores. The girls gave me 22 eggs today. I have a big stash of eggs again if anyone needs some.
Tomorrow my special tax session got moved to next week due to a location unavailability. I do have to go to town though as I am meeting with my house builder at 1:00 to see the first draft of the floor plans. I sure hope they are close to what I want. Not sure how this whole process works so I will take a long list of questions for the builder. I do better when I understand a process and what to expect.
Tomorrow is Kathy’s birthday and our Spring Equinox ceremony. We are having a little party for Kathy before our ceremony so it will be a fun evening.
I realized today that Jim and I were married on March 19, 2020. That feels like a different lifetime ago to me now. I have moved on and have put that little (or big) mistake in my rear view window and try not to look back. I can’t change what happened but I can take the lessons I learned about myself and make myself a better person as a result.
Wednesday I have two tax shifts and an exercise class. It makes a long day to do two shifts in the same day. I’m grateful I enjoy doing taxes and the time goes fairly quickly. I prefer the days we are busy and don’t have time to sit around waiting for people to show up. You never know what type of day you are going to have until it happens.
Had trouble falling asleep last night. Finally got up and took a second hot bath and that did the trick. I got some good sleep after that. Didn’t feel rested when I got up this morning but was grateful I was finally able to find a bit of sleep.
I had done some Tonglen last week when I came home in a bit of a distressed mood about a tax situation. I was telling Nicole about it today and realized I hadn’t held on to the negative feelings I had experienced. Usually I have trouble letting those go. Tonglen had really helped me release them. I need to remember that and use it more often.
Grateful Kathy got her finger taken care of today, grateful groceries are put away for the week, and grateful for the practice of Tonglen.
