This has been a quiet day at home. I did get a few housecleaning chores done. The refrigerator was way overdue for a good cleaning. I also dusted the house. The dust was thick enough I could have written my name in it. It never seems to stay dust free very long but it is nice for a couple of days.
I did go to Strong City so I could have a late lunch at Jacalito. I saw four people doing the Highway 50 protest. I wished I had known that was going to happen as I would have joined them. I was going to stop and talk to them after I was done eating but they were gone by then. Thank you to the four brave souls that were out by the side of the highway in this heat today. I salute you!
It is nice to be relatively pain free. Not sure if it is the magic cream or the Celebrex or a combination of both but my knee is much less painful. If I concentrate hard enough on it I can feel a tiny bit of discomfort but it is very low. The Doctor told me to take the Celebrex twice a day for a week and then I could stop taking it if the pain was gone. I can use the cream up to four times a day but haven’t felt the need to do so.
No plans for tomorrow either. I may go to town and check out Tagen’s house. He is to be all moved out by tomorrow. I have a realtor coming over Monday and I want to make sure the house is ready to be seen by a realtor. Trusting I won’t have much to do before we can list the house. Last time the house I sold needed some minor cosmetic work done and the realtor took care of it.
I’m looking forward to the time with Ellexia on Monday and getting a pedicure. I haven’t had one for several years. I love getting my lower legs and feet rubbed. I should treat myself to a pedicure more often, just never think to go get one.
Waiting on responses to the letters I sent earlier this week before I can take next steps on the two projects I am working on. Trusting those responses will come sooner or later. As slow as mail is these days it may be a couple of weeks before the responses get here.
It may be a week free of paperwork if the responses don’t come in this week. That would be a nice break for me. It seems like my projects happen in spurts with pauses in between. At least that gives me a chance to catch my breath and build up some energy until the next round.
Today sitting in the in between space feels comfortable and doable. Some days it doesn’t so I will appreciate this easy day with it. I don’t have much on my to-do list or pending list that I can do right now. Most everything on the list is waiting on someone or something else to happen before I can take the next step.
Feels good to be back above neutral. The news is overwhelming and depressing these days. I have learned to tune it out when it starts to pull me down. I do myself nor the world any favors when I fall into despair and overwhelm. I have to believe that love will win and I have to believe that keeping myself above neutral will help. Easier said than done some days though.
Grateful for being almost pain free today, grateful the refrigerator is clean again, and grateful love will win.
