I didn’t get much sleep last night. Must have slept too much the night before. May need to take a nap yet this afternoon. My energy is starting to run low.
I am working on cleaning my bedroom and bathroom. I have the bedroom almost done and part of the bathroom done. I found lots and lots of dirt. It has been awhile since I cleaned the bedroom. I did do the bathroom not too long ago but it has plenty of dirt too. This house sits on top of a hill and catches lots of dust.
It is in the mid 60’s today but windy so it doesn’t feel that warm. We had a slight chance for some rain earlier today but all we got was a thick fog. I don’t see any chances of rain in the longer range forecast. It is getting very dry again.
Winter Solstice is six weeks from tomorrow. Grateful we only have six more weeks of increasing darkness. These last six weeks can be very intense for those of us doing our inner work. I get the feeling Spirit isn’t fooling around this year and is creating situations for me to do some deep inner work. The world needs light bearers desperately right now and the best way to be one is to focus on my inner self and becoming the best self I can be. The light within shines brighter when one does their inner work. That light is contagious and I truly believe that is what will bring about world peace. Person to person the light can be passed and anger, greed and shame can be brought to the light and healed.
I scheduled my Shingles vaccine for Friday. I have been told the side effects can knock one out for a couple of days. I don’t have anything going on until next Tuesday so have the freedom to take a couple days to recover if needed. I had gotten the old version of the vaccine but have been told the new one is much more effective.
I sent an email to my grandkids telling them I need Christmas ideas. We are having our family Christmas December 9 and that is only a month away. Time to get my shopping done. I don’t like the pressure of doing it last minute. Ellexia’s birthday is December 11 so will have to double up for her. I ordered a fancy birthday cake to take to the family dinner so we can celebrate her birthday too. Tagen’s birthday is in January so the kiddos get back to back celebrations and presents.
So very pleased with the national election results last night. Sounds like abortion rights is what most of the country wants and people are willing to be a single issue voter to achieve that. The Supreme Court screwed up on that one. Hoping they will come to their senses and reverse the damage they are causing.
Chase County reported some precincts where no one in that district voted. Wonder how they determine the winners? Wonder why no one voted? The curious mind wants to know!
Tomorrow afternoon I will probably go in and watch Ellexia cheer. When she comes out on the court she looks at the crowd to see if anyone is there for her. Her parents both have to work during game times so I am the only one that can go. She will nod at me when she sees me but doesn’t like to wave at me. I get it! One does have to be cool when they are in the eighth grade!
Friday I have to go back to town to get my vaccine and then I will stay home until Tuesday when I have to go to Topeka for a doctor’s appointment. I have managed to go to town everyday this week except for today. It will be good to stay home all weekend.
I still need to get a turkey and ham for Thanksgiving. I may stop at a grocery store in Topeka I like and see what they have. I haven’t seen a turkey over 21 pounds yet and I prefer a much bigger one. Although since I am fixing ham this year too, I probably won’t need bigger than 21 pounds. If I can’t find one in Topeka I’ll get a smaller one. I need to have it by next Thursday so I can start thawing it. Those suckers take a while to thaw in the refrigerator.
I have gotten most of the non-perishable things on my Thanksgiving grocery list. I will have a cart full when I go get the perishable things the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Hope the store isn’t out of anything. One year they were out of celery and I had to go to three different stores to find some. I am still not used to shortages. I just don’t remember that happening so much before Covid.
Sitting above the neutral level of consciousness today, even with little sleep. Something is shifting inside in a good way. The boundary class I took has helped me find my personal power in a new way. Still thinking about taking the full class but there is a component or two I am not sure I would enjoy and not sure I want to pay that much and not get the full benefit of the class. I have another couple of weeks to decide in order to get the reduced price.
Grateful the cleaning project has begun, grateful for temperatures in the mid 60’s and grateful for the positive shift that is happening within.
