Got a bit more sleep last night than the night before. I had turned the A/C back on so it was nice and cool in my bedroom. That helped some. Looking forward to the cold front coming in tonight so I can turn the A/C back off.
Hand mopped the living room floor this morning. Wore a blister on my knee. I washed the woodwork and found lots of dirt. Feels good to be sitting in a very clean living room now. I also got the front entry way cleaned. I’ll do some more cleaning this afternoon. Hope to get the entire house cleaned by Friday.
The wind is howling today. Glad I got my mowing done last night. It is dusty and dry again. Came in from mowing with grass stuck in places on my body it didn’t belong. The high for today is to be 90 and the high for tomorrow is to be 59. Gotta love KS weather.
A year ago tomorrow I had my thyroid removed. Hard to believe it has been that long. What a roller coaster ride that whole thyroid episode took me on. So grateful everything turned out the way it did and it now feels like the drama of all of it is behind me. I will go have another ultrasound later this month along with another panel of blood work. Next year I won’t have to be followed so closely.
Found out my Match guy was an accountant in the Army. That explains some of his behavior to me. Things he has texted make more sense now. It feels like I have known him much longer than I actually have. He is easy to text with and has a wonderful sense of humor.
Another light bulb burned out in my living room. Think I will wait and have my guy replace it when he gets off work tonight. It only takes him two minutes to replace the bulb and it takes me 30. He makes it look easy. Nice to have a guy around the house that is handy like he is.
I am lots more focused and can stay on task today. Yesterday I had one of those days where I couldn’t remember what I got up to do. My mind was racing yesterday but kept changing tracks. Today it is much calmer and quiet. Grateful!
I’m already behind on my Gratitude Project for the month. I’ll need to write two notes today to catch up. Attempting to send a note each day during October to someone who has made an impact on my life. I think sometimes we forget to tell people how much they mean to us. The Mr. Rogers documentary I saw inspired me to start this project. I am also working to secure “we” and am thinking this project will help with that too. I have realized I have had to be independent for so long that I forget about others and the way they helped me and would help me even more if I would allow them too. We aren’t meant to live life like a hermit – we need each other. It is too easy for me to become a hermit and not deal with others. If I want to allow a partner in to my life I need to break that pattern and habit.
Allowing this day to unfold at a slower pace. When I get that hurry up rush I stop and do nothing for a bit. It is helping me to re-ground and find my center again. My peaceful valley of life is slowly coming back to me. My bits and pieces seem to be coming back together and I am not so scattered. Grateful I have three days in a row with nothing on my calendar so I can pull myself back together again.
Grateful to get the house cleaning project started, grateful the thyroid cancer is quickly becoming a thing of the past, and grateful for finding my center again. I miss it when I can’t access it. Life is much easier when I can access my easy button – which is being grounded and centered.
