Finally got some sleep last night. I was up between 2:00 and 4:00 but slept both before and after. Got up early enough to watch the sunrise this morning – it was beautiful.
Started laundry last night and am finally finished with it. Got the two beds made up and the rooms cleaned for the guests coming tonight. Still need to do the main floor but that may wait for another day or two. I work for a bit today and then rest for a bit. My rest periods are getting longer than my work periods though. May take a nap.
Not much more I have to get done before the guests arrive this afternoon. Still need to swish some toilets and mop one more floor downstairs. That won’t take long. Feels good to get the house back into order. I feel like I have been running behind for the last several days. Not caught up yet but getting close.
Tomorrow morning I have to go to town to close on the new investment property I am buying. I need some groceries and decided to wait until I go to town tomorrow to get them. That way I can stay home all day today and reground myself. I have some where I need to go Tuesday too but then I should be able to stay home for several days in a row.
Noticed I will need to mow again this week sometime. May go out this afternoon and get that done. I need to get outside and move my body – mowing does that for me. I have to stay inside though until I get the house ready for the guests that are coming this afternoon.
The guy I have been texting with sent me a video he made for me of him lip syncing to a song. His facial expressions were priceless! Talk about romantic! How fun is that? Trying to think of something I can do to send him but am stumped. Hard to beat what he did. So far this guy has possibilities – I’ll see where it goes.
Only have one thing left of my list of things I wanted to get for my trip to Australia. I think I can find what I need in Emporia when I have time to go shopping. Just need a pair of shoes to wear with the dresses I bought. I can always use my flip-flops if I can’t find what I am looking for. The problem is I’m not sure what I am looking for. Guess I’ll know if I see a pair.
Didn’t gain or lose weight while I was in KC. I expected to gain as I didn’t get to walk either Friday or Saturday. I ate pretty much on plan but when I eat away from home I never know for sure.
It is a cloudy, windy day on the prairie. Looks like Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will get warm again before a cold front comes through on Thursday bringing some good chances of rain for the next five or six days. I’ll have to get my mowing done by Wednesday.
I am feeling the effects of all the change that is happening. Feels like even more big changes are coming my way. Doing my best to ground into the present moment and stay out of resistance to change. Adding a dose of fun into my life right now is helping with that. It is easier for me to surrender and accept change when I can keep my mood light and playful. Still in my observer role.
My mentor helped me understand my next growth will come as I learn how to redefine “we” in my life. I have had to be independent for so long that I forget sometimes about “we”. I’m not just talking about allowing a man in my life – it shows up in many other areas of my life too. Feels like this will be a big shift for me. I keep reminding myself there is nothing I have to do to make it happen other than giving it some of my intention and time each day. Then I have to stay out-of-the-way and allow it to come in. Another old habit of mine to break open the range on. Love when I discover and can name them – makes it easier for me to accept and change them when I can do that.
Grateful for all the fun that is showing up in my life these days, grateful for all the change happening around me and the life lessons it brings me, and grateful for all the “we” people in my life and those that are still coming in.
