I have been thinking of several ideas for this post – yet I can’t really remember any of them! Sometimes I am compelled to write a post while other times something happened I just want to tell everyone about it. What’s frustrating is to have something in mind and not have time to write it at the moment. Then when I finally have time, it seems either bland or I can’t quite remember what was so compelling. This gave me a chuckle so I will add this and see where things go:
Looks as if this is one of those posts that start here and I have no idea where it will go. When I think about the past week, I remember how down I felt last Friday after visiting Mom. Not sure how much came from seeing her slowly going downhill, how much I was just tired or the frustration of feeling things are more work than usual.
I had a very good week and accomplished a lot of things – some unexpected and welcome energy for a change. I began to slow down around Thursday – not my choice – and by Friday I was not so energetic. Anyway, I just felt down after seeing Mom and it was like that for 3 or 4 days. I felt like running away by myself for a bit and let someone else take over; but there isn’t anyone else. I finally caught myself feeling low and a little sorry for myself – maybe I needed a good whinge – and decided, I don’t like this, it is uncomfortable. I asked the Universe to help me with an attitude overhaul – an adjustment wouldn’t quite be up to the task.
When I do that, sometimes I notice a difference fairly quickly, other times it takes a couple of days. This was days, not hours. I had a massage Tuesday and it felt good – it’s been bout 3 weeks since the last. Tomorrow is my last one with Debye because she is moving to around carlsbad in California – not the most convenient commute. I am going to miss her so much, especially as a friend and in some ways a mentor as well a massage therapist. However, I know her friend Michelle so I will check her out because she does things similar to Debye.
I am pleased the week ended a lot better than it started. I saw Mom this last week and she was fairly aware. I brought a D.E. Stevenson book to read, but couldn’t find it on Friday. I was going to take my iPad but couldn’t open it – I had forgotten my passcode. I found it and when I go Tuesday, I will play some music for her.
When in doubt, talk about the weather. We have had some gorgeous crisp, clear Fall days – nippy enough for frost. I was amazed last week to see the sun shining and the Olympics came out from behind the clouds with snow covered peaks. The other morning I was up early enough to see them look like strawberry sno-cones – all pink in the sunrise. The Sound was a deep blue – so gorgeous but I was glad to have my car heater warm me up. As long as I am in the sun, it is a bit warm and nice; in the shade it’s cold and windy.
I need to take a break and have a shower – we aren’t going out today even though it is sunny. While Eddie vacuumed, I was printing pictures for his 787 exhibit and fixing the mistakes on his info sheet I typed the other day. That along with this post. Back in a bit.
BACK Again!
Not that it made a whole lot of difference; except I not only had a shower and got dressed, I also cleaned the bathroom. So it has taken me a while to come back. Too bad no fresh ideas, it happens sometimes. I was hoping this one would start at one point and have an interesting journey to the end. Can’t win them all.
