This has been another quiet day at home. I did manage to take a shower this morning and get dressed so there is that!
My sweet neighbor came over and was going to shovel a path to my car for me. I love when my neighbors offer random acts of kindness. I told her I had someone coming but I sure appreciate her offer.
The guy that shovels for me texted me yesterday to see if I wanted him to come over. I said yes and he came this afternoon. We now have a path shoveled to each of our cars. I asked him to take the snow off of my car. He kinda did but I don’t think he had the right tools to do so. I have been remote starting my car and attempting to melt the ice off the windshield. I don’t think scrapping windows is on my list of things I can do with my doctor’s approval. I don’t plan on going anywhere until Wednesday so maybe it will warm up enough between now and then and I won’t have to scrape.
I haven’t taken any ibuprofen today and have had no pain. The itching has stopped too. It is going to be hard to remember not to lift things and bend over a lot. I still have four and one-half weeks to go. Grateful for the way my body is healing so quickly.
The silly dogs spent most of the day outside. They love cold weather! Thinking they will sleep inside tonight and then go back out in the morning. Ellie, the cat that usually is in the dog pen has shown no interest in returning to the dog pen.
I read a lot of the news today and was able to stay above neutral doing so. I am still shocked that there are people that are applauding what ICE is doing, even with the two murders they have committed. It will be interesting to watch how this all plays out over the next couple months. The chaos is getting louder.
Underneath the chaos runs a river of peace. One has to get quiet to tap into it. People are being given many chances to level up and get on a different timeline and change their reality. Many are doing so yet many are so entrenched where they are they can’t let go. I am reminded of the quote that says “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change”. Everyone gets to decide for themselves if they want to embrace a new way of being. Some never will.
Sent an email to the KS Senators today. Not sure they can hear me but I have to try. I don’t think Marshall will bend at all. I still think Moran has a heart but is under tremendous pressure to not show it. Hope he grows a pair and steps up and does the right thing for a change.
Grateful for the guy that shovels my sidewalks, grateful for my great neighbors, and grateful for my rapid healing.
