There was another storm that rolled through in the middle of the night. I got woken up by two dogs that were trying to crawl into bed with me. I got up and gave them their calming medication and sat up with them for a bit. We went back to bed but it took them a bit to settle down and sleep. They slept in this morning.
I got up and did chores at the housesitting house and then came up to my house around 8:30 this morning. I put the spaghetti and meat balls in the crock pot and made a four layer dessert for lunch. Cleaned up some things around here.
Tagen and Michelle came out for lunch. We sat and visited afterwards for a couple of hours. It was a wonderful conversation. Tagen is so grown up and talked more today than he normally does.
Tagen and I went up to the housesitting job and did chores. We found the peacock down in the barn where he belongs. Tagen got to pet the three horses and play with the dogs. The cat didn’t come out to play with him.
We came back up to my house and after Tagen and Michelle went back to town I went out and mowed most of the yard. I still have about an hour of mowing left to do but got a good start on it. The rains this week really helped the grass grow and get thick. We got over half an inch last night.
Tagen took home the leftover spaghetti and meat balls and dessert. That kid loves spaghetti and meat balls. I thought I had cooked enough spaghetti for leftovers but had to cook some more so he could have some with the leftover meat sauce.
Tonight is another Tonglen practice. I never know if anyone will show up or not. Several have told me they are out of town or have company tonight and can’t come. We shall see who, if anyone comes. If no one comes, I will practice by myself.
After Tonglen I will make one more trip up to the housesitting job and do the evening chores and make sure I have gathered the stuff I took up there. They will be home late tonight. I trust they had a wonderful trip but I know they will be glad to get home.
Tomorrow I need to finish mowing and do some laundry. I also need to start cleaning house for the guests that are coming in Friday. It will be good to only have my critters to care for tomorrow.
Tuesday i am on stand by to possibly take Tagen to his doctor’s appointment to see if he is cleared from his concussion protocol. Someone else may take him but in case they can’t I am going to. Sometimes it takes a village to raise a child.
Kathy will be home either Tuesday or Wednesday. I trust she is having a safe trip driving home. It will be good to see her when she gets here.
I finally was able to climb the consciousness ladder a step or two about neutral today. That feels good. Some things are shaking out and coming together for me in a new way. I love how the Universe works and things get revealed in the perfect moment. There is a reason and season for everything.
Grateful for the time I had with Tagen and Michelle today, grateful most of the yard is mowed, and grateful for the rain we received last night.
