Finally got some painting on the deck done today. I did one long support beam using the tall ladder and a few more that I could reach from the ground. I’ll get out again in the morning and do some more ladder work. It feels good to have made some progress on that project.
I have felt off all day today. My eyes were doing something weird this morning and this afternoon I have felt tired. I was sitting in my chair earlier and realized I had tears running down my face. Not sure where they came from or why I was crying. There is some strong energy in the world right now and it feels like I may have tapped into some of that. Tonight is the new black moon and the energy is to be shifting and lightning up a bit in the next few days. I trust that will happen!
I didn’t get much else done today besides painting. I had no energy to do anything this afternoon so I laid down for a bit. Never did go to sleep but it felt good to stretch out on my bed. My back pain from yesterday is gone today thank heavens. I may have been a bit dehydrated as I had forgotten to drink water yesterday. I have been drinking as much as I can possibly get down today. Feeling a bit better this evening.
I am having a drumming circle Saturday evening. We will gather at 7:00 and start drumming at 7:30 and drum until the sun goes down at 8:36. The intention we will send out is peace and love into the world. There is so much chaos happening in the world and the division between us and them seems deep. I forget I have more in common with the other side than I do our differences. Hosting the drumming circle is my small part of building a bridge between the sides.
Come if you can! Bring a drum if you have one. I have extra drums if you don’t have one. Bring an adult beverage if you want one. I’ll provide iced tea and water.
I have two of the beds spoken for for the evening. Still have two or three beds available if you are coming from out of town and want to stay over. Let me know if you want a bed and I will save one for you.
A week from today is my bunion surgery. I still have a lot of things I need to get done before that. Trying to figure out a grocery list that will tide me over until I can drive again. Not sure how long that will be – probably at least one week if not two. Jim will be here with me so I can send him to the store if needed.
Hosting the drumming circle will help motivate me to get my house cleaned. I have guests coming mid August that I need to prepare for and I haven’t found the motivation to do so. I don’t want to think about having to go down all my stairs on crutches so need to get the rooms ready early.
Anyone have experience with solar panels on their house. We are looking in to putting some on and would love to have a recommendation of someone that does a good job putting them on. I got one bid but the guy had trouble identifying my house on his bid. It took him three tries to get it right. If he can’t get that right can he install the panels correctly? If I have the work done I will have the panels put on the barn roof instead of the house roof.
Tomorrow I need to go to town and pick up a few things. It was good to stay home all day today and be by myself. I haven’t talked to anyone today except Jason. He called me earlier. I love days like today. It was a good day to be alone as I have been a bit grumpy all day.
Tomorrow I need to make a few phone calls and follow up on two contractors plus check with my accountant about a question on the solar panels energy credit. I wasn’t in the mood to make phone calls today. Some days I don’t people well.
Grateful for the painting I got done today, grateful this day is almost over, and grateful for the upcoming drumming circle.
