Happy anniversary to my parents who were married in 1948. Trusting they are celebrating together on the other side of the veil. I felt their presence today as I was driving through the hills.
When I got up this morning I noticed some pain under my arm in my arm pit. I first thought I had a bite of some sort. But when I looked in the mirror I realized it was an inflamed skin tag. Not sure what set it off. It is one that I have needed to have removed for a long time as it is very hard to shave my pits with it there. I called my doctor and have an appointment Thursday morning at 8:15 to get it removed. It has been hard to lower my arm today as it is sore. It will be good to get it taken off.
I drove to Wichita late morning. I wanted to go back to Costco and get some more pants for my trip to Costa Rica the end of this month. I had gotten one pair last week when Kathy and I had gone and I really liked them so went back and got two more pairs. Found some other stuff I didn’t know I needed. I had also gotten two bras last time I was at Costco and liked them so got some more of them too.
Went to Chipotle for lunch and was then going to go visit my aunt but got very tired and decided to come straight home. When I got home and got the car unloaded I laid down and took a two hour nap. I had slept last night so not sure why I got so tired. Guessing my body is catching up on some sleep that I didn’t get for a couple of weeks. I will be surprised if I can sleep tonight but I might.
Last night I did my video of exercises. My trainer had needed to back out of my session Monday and was going to try to reschedule for Thursday but Thursday got filled up for me and I was going to have trouble finding an hour to go to the gym. I went ahead and got them out of the way. They were easy and most of them I had done before.
I was still in a bit of a foul mood when I started them and doing them helped moved some energy for me and helped me release the mood I was in and lift me back up over the neutral level. It really showed me how important movement is to my body and how it can help keep my central nervous system regulated.
I took Sophia on a mile plus walk this evening. We walked down to see the river and came back home. She was dragging a bit by the time we got home. I offered to take Roxy for a walk but she politely refused and wanted to go in the house. The dogs have been good for me to get me out walking.
Tomorrow I will go to Emporia for my weekly session with my Chiropractor and then go to exercise. After exercise I am meeting a couple and helping them with a tax issues. I need to stop and get a few groceries when we get done with their tax issue. At 4:00 I am going to a friend’s house for happy hour. If I remember I will stop and have a blood draw before I come home so my TSH levels can be checked. I will do it Friday if I forget tomorrow.
Thursday I have the doctor’s appointment in Emporia at 8:15 to get the skin tag cut off. I also have a doctor’s appointment in Topeka at 1:00 for a routine Cardiologist check. Friday I go back to Emporia one more time this week for another exercise session. So far the weekend looks wide open so I will get two stay at home days.
Jason has some trees in his back yard that need to come down. Not sure I want to know how much that is going to cost. They should have been taken down a long time ago but I didn’t know about them. This bill will be on me as it is something that should have been taken care of before he moved in. Seems like there is always something that needs taken care of with one of the rental properties.
Sitting in a better place and space tonight than I was last night. I am working on learning my triggers that deregulate my central nervous system and the universe is providing plenty of examples for me. Once I learn my triggers, I can learn how to catch myself responding to them and not fall so far down the rabbit hole before I stop myself.
I find it fascinating to learn things about myself and how my brain works. When I fall below the neutral level, my brain does not function logically and rationally like it does when I am above. I know moving my body helps me raise my energy level but being able to make myself do that when I am below neutral is hard.
Grateful for a safe trip to and back from Wichita today, grateful my doctor could see me this week to cut off the skin tag, and grateful to learn something new about myself today.
