Kathy and I went to see “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” at the Granada last night. It is a documentary about the life of Mr. Rogers. What a wonderful movie! I fell in love with Mr. Rogers all over again. The world needs more people like him.
The Granada had a special door prize drawing to celebrate being neighbors. I won it! I got $100 of gift certificates to the Granada Coffee Company, $100 of gift certificates to the Sweet Granada and the use of the Granada Theatre for a private movie showing for 20 people. What a nice surprise! I’ll have to think of a movie that I want to see on the big screen and find 19 people to come see it with me.
Got my bathroom detailed cleaned this morning. I always leave my bedroom and bathroom to do last and it must have been a bit since I cleaned it as I found lots of dirt this morning. I’ll finish my bedroom in a bit. I washed my sheets and rugs this morning. It will be nice to climb into a freshly made bed and a clean bedroom tonight.
Art Day is at Prairie Past Times this afternoon. I plan on going in for a bit. Need to remember to take a pillow to sit on. The chairs feel hard after a bit. One disadvantage of having lost weight is I don’t have much padding left on my ass. I am finding bones I had forgotten I had.
Sure have enjoyed having no guests this weekend. It has been nice not to have to refresh or flip rooms today. The house feels big and empty though without my guests here.
One of the two guys that I was Match messaging profile is no longer available. Not sure if he was hacked or if his subscription ran out and he didn’t renew. He had a funny first name which made me a bit suspicious of him anyways. Still talking to the other one. He was busy last night and today and is to get back in touch with me later tonight or sometime tomorrow. I’ll see where this one goes. I don’t know his last name yet but at least his phone number tracked to McPherson. Who knew one needed to have a security check run on the guys you meet on Match.com. Not in my nature to be suspicious of others unless they give me reason to do so. Not sure I like having to be so careful.
I need to get a house sitter for the night of September 28. I have to go to KC for one night as my mentor will be in town and teaching a class. Anyone want to come out for the night? You can stay all weekend if you want. I’ll be home Saturday evening some time. Kathy is leaving that Friday morning for KY and I’m not sure if my long-term guy will be back from helping restore power in NC. Sounds like he may be in NC for a bit. I need a back-up plan just in case he doesn’t make it back.
My life would be simpler if I didn’t have my critters to care for. It would also be less fun! I do enjoy my critters and the smiles they bring to me daily. Their needs are so simple and they give me so much unconditional love in return.
I subscribe to lots of positive groups on Facebook that post a little motivational message everyday. Today several of them posted about change. I have noticed more than the normal amount of change happening around me lately. The messages were a good reminder to myself to embrace change and to check in with my body occasionally to make sure I am not holding some resistance to it somewhere unconsciously. Fall reminds us how beautiful change can be as we watch the leaves turn colors and drop off. Letting go of old habits and stuff allows room for new things to come in. Change is in the air! May it come with ease and grace for all of us.
Grateful for winning the prize package last night – party time! Grateful for Mr. Rogers and the lessons he had for all of us during his lifetime and beyond, and grateful for change in what ever form it presents itself in my life.
