Happy birthday daddy. He would have been 94 today! I miss him yet feel him with me especially when I am outdoors on my walks. I can still hear him laughing when I do something stupid. He had such a zest for life and made everyone around him better.
I have a touch of cranky pants today. Not sure why other than the full moon is this week. I am so tired of the political divide and the stupid things people are doing. Most days I can observe it and be curious about why others think so differently than I do. Today it is just pissing me off.
Didn’t do much at all today. Got up early while Jim slept in. Got him up to listen to church at 11:00. Took a short nap after church and then sat outside on the glider knitting for a lot of the afternoon. Decided we both needed a day of rest so didn’t do anything very productive.
I fixed a pot roast for dinner. I had it on the table ready to eat and Jim’s son called. I put it back in the crock pot and am waiting for their conversation to end. It has been almost an hour at this point. He so enjoys when his sons call.
Tomorrow the Endocrinologist is going to call me for my annual visit. I have a list of things to discuss with her. Haven’t heard when my ultrasound or blood tests will be done but will probably get some answers tomorrow.
After that visit I need to go to the post office and get my mail situation sorted out. Hoping I can find some mail that is overdue to have arrived. I need to remember to tell my house sitter to start checking my mail box at home.
It has been cool and cloudy all day. The air has been heavy – feels like it could storm tonight. I have had a headache most of the day due to the pressure in the air. Wish it would storm and get it over with. Tomorrow it is to be in the low 90’s – yuck! That is too hot for me.
I don’t like when I fall into reaction instead of staying in observation. The energy is thick and heavy down here. I’m so tired of the political divide and ugliness that is in the world right now. Falling into it and becoming part of it is not the answer for myself. I need to go take a walk and get grounded and centered and pull myself out of this pit of darkness.
Grateful that I was able to recognize why I am cranky today, grateful for a lazy day, and grateful it was cooler today. Tomorrow will be a new day! Back to my observer role instead of reactionary one.
