Went to exercise this afternoon. Felt good to be back at it after not going last week. My trainer had to go to the ED as she was having chest pains so a different trainer supervised my session. There was another lady in with me today. The trainer popped in and out all during the session. Oh well, by now I know what I am doing. My trainer let me know she is OK – no blood clot or pneumonia. Hoping I get to see her Friday.

More clean up work has happened on the porch today. No building has begun yet but hoping it will soon. It takes a bit to get rid of all the old material before they can start with putting in the new.

When I went to Emporia today I stopped and got a seam ripper. I plan on working on Ellexia’s dress on Wednesday and getting it done. I am seeing Michelle on Saturday and my plan is to have it done by then. Here’s hoping all goes well!

I didn’t go to the Chiropractor today. Wasn’t in the mood to drive downtown. I may go to town Wednesday or Thursday for groceries and if so I will go then. He is no longer open on Friday so I can’t wait and go when I go in for exercise Friday. I’m almost to the point of reducing how often I go. I don’t think I need weekly adjustments any more. I can’t tell afterwards that anything was done. I need to switch the type of plan I have with him next time I go in. Right now I am on a four times a month plan and if I skip a week I don’t get credit for it. No use paying for something I don’t use all the time. He has plans where you prepay for a certain number of visits that can stretch out for up to a year. That makes more sense for me right now.

Tomorrow I am taking Kathy to the airport in the morning. Nicole wasn’t free to do lunch so I will probably drop Kathy off and come back home. I can’t think of anything I need to do while I am in the big city. It will be a quick trip up and back.

Not much going on the rest of the week. I have someone coming over Wednesday so I can help them with a tax issue. Other than exercise Friday afternoon I don’t have anything else on my calendar. I will have lots of empty space with Kathy being gone.

Have been dipping below neutral a couple of times today. Not sure what is up with that but each time it happened, I was able to ground myself and pop back up. It is unrealistic to expect that I can maintain a love neutral 100% of the time. What is important is being able to catch myself when I drop below and change my reaction. Some days that is easier said than done.

Grateful to be back to exercise class today, grateful I remembered to get a seam ripper this trip to Emporia, and grateful I was able to climb back above neutral today.
