I think I am loosing track of what day of the week it is. When you do the same thing for five days in a row without anything to differentiate the days, they tend to get lost.
I did leave the house today. I finally got Gene’s Christmas present mailed. I went to Dollar General to get some milk for me and coffee for Kathy. They were out of all milk but they did have coffee. I went to Casey’s and they had milk.
The roads were slick but drivable if you went slow. I’m grateful I got my car cleaned off yesterday. I used the auto start and it was nice and warm for me when I went out to get in it. I did feel good to get out of the house for 15 minutes.
My tax prep folder came in so I have started my tax prep. I went through all my files and threw away stuff that was from 2023. I sorted the rental information into piles. I went through my medical stuff and sorted that all out. I will continue to work on the taxes and get the packet ready to go. I will have to wait for the forms to come in before I can deliver the packet to my accountant. Most won’t come in until the end of January so I have lots of time to get the packet ready.
Other than doing two loads of laundry which I haven’t folded and put away yet I haven’t gotten much done today. I did make a crock pot of white chicken chili this morning. Kathy and I have been eating on it all day. It hit the spot today. Not sure I will want the leftovers but will save them and see if they get eaten.
No plans for tomorrow. It is to snow again tomorrow night but it doesn’t sound like we will get lots of snow. Not sure if I will go to exercise Friday – it will depend on how much snow we get Thursday night. I won’t drive on snowy roads unless it is urgent and exercise is not urgent.
Gentle Thunder and I had a great conversation last night. She is set to do a meditation on January 20 at 3:00. We are doing it at my house over Zoom so if anyone wants to participate and can’t get to my house let me know and I can send the link. The cost is $50. I wanted to organize a positive experience for that day. Gentle Thunder did a meditation for the Global Water Healing on-line group. If you google globalwaterhealing.org and go to their archives and then scroll down to August 4, 2023 you will find her meditation. Kathy said she listened to it and was most impressed.
My house looks like a big disorganized coat closet. We have to put on so many layers when we go out and with walking the dogs we go out often enough we don’t bother putting them up. It takes us about five minutes to get suited up to go out and another five minutes to get everything off. I miss my mop sink I had at the country house – it was the best boot jack.
Still feeling like I am gathering up my reserves. It feels like I will be called into some sort of service soon and will need to be full going into it. As the world continues to change I believe all of us are going to have to step forward in ways we haven’t before. We need to all be working towards building a new type of community. So many people have dropped out and no longer feel connected. Somehow, some way we need to reach them and let them know they are worthy of love and connect with them.
Grateful I made it to the store today, grateful I got Gene’s package in the mail even though it is a month late, and grateful the tax prep project has begun.
