As I wrote the date I remembered it is Christmas Eve. Since we had our family Christmas Saturday it felt like Christmas had come and gone. I am so messed up on what day of the week it is and its relationship to Christmas Day.
Jason and his girlfriend are coming over tomorrow to watch the game and to have chili with me. I so appreciate that. Maybe I will find some last minute Christmas spirit.
I didn’t get much done today. I watch a new movie on Netflix called the Six Triple Eight. Hard to watch but so well done. We still have a long way to go to combat racism in America. It hurt my heart to watch.
I did a bit of work cleaning out my kitchen but didn’t find too much. I still need to do the pantry and reduce it big time. It is so cluttered it is hard to find anything. I have a bunch of stuff I need to carry to the shed and didn’t have the energy to do that today.
Tomorrow I am going to make a crock pot of chili and some cinnamon rolls. It’s a Kansas thing to put those two things together. I don’t have a lot of Christmas treats left over for Jason so will make him something fresh.
I get to stay home Thursday I think. That will make three days in a row – Yay! Friday I am driving to Council Grove to meet a friend for lunch. I don’t have any plans for the weekend. Monday Ellexia and I are going shopping in KC. We are meeting Nicole for lunch while we are in KC. Not sure where we are going shopping but I know Ellexia will know where she wants to go. That girl likes to shop.
Both Kathy and I have been rather quiet the last couple of days. We both feel deeply and it is a hard time of year for both of us. I am grateful that Winter Solstice has come and the light will gradually start to return.
I contacted the lady that did the sound bath in Sedona but I haven’t heard back from her. She may be out of town with the holidays and will get back to me after the New Year. If she can’t do something January 20 I want to come up with Plan B.
I have a quiet January coming up. That feels good. Things have felt a bit too busy for me and it is time for me to slow things down. I need to make sure I am well grounded and centered. The outer world feels huge to me right now and it feels like things are going to get even bigger. It will be important to me that I stay grounded and centered and not get pulled into the outer chaos. I do myself and the world no good if I fall below neutral and stay there.
Grateful for another stay at home day, grateful Jason is coming over tomorrow, and grateful for movies that teach our history lessons.
