So then I had a funny dream

I was making something in the kitchen when someone came within earshot and was talking on the phone about how her philandering spouse was making their home life crazy and she was afraid it was going to make their daughter take her pills. I walked around the corner and it was a young woman playing a recording from her backpack. She smiled, shut off the recording and zipped up her pack, and that was that!

Woke up too early to find

I think this is my language sometimes

Hey, it's okay! Everything's fine.

But later, a bit of an ache. Or more than a bit.

What's a cure? More walks in nature? Find a sacred space? Get lost in a poem or a song or a piece of art?

Take a shower...take a nap and enjoy your lungs.

I might read that book about breathing by J. Nestor.

What a great song this was!

When I was a kid.

"Born To Run" - Emmylou Harris - 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PIlw22Urro

Before I developed a strange complex about running.

Hey beautiful shopping trip

The universe put me in the line of the very nice pregnant woman checking out the other pregnant woman and the pregnant checker was such a lovely soul.  Maybe all those ladies who had issues or sorrows about motherhood could go through her line and get mystifying "I feel better for some reason" feelings.

~~~~~~

A show for women about having more compassion for women when clearly the patriarchy was not adequately teaching them how to be "all [they could] be (in the army)" yet. 

~~~~~

I have a silver disc necklace and sometimes I put it to my mouth to bite it like the runners do when they get a medal yes I do.  

Maybe they are like old friends

They have taken turns being different kinds of mouthpieces so that new changes can come to the Earth. Depending on the circumstances, one might be more expressive or get some kind of message out sooner than the other at times, or appeal to different kinds of audiences. They take turns playing different roles because they have chosen to walk different paths on purpose. Learning about how the paths can intersect & affect relationships is part of creating new forms of expression and life on this planet.

we got better internet finally

These are really dire times...they are super short-handed because of COVID. Tried to stay 6 feet away from the tech as much as possible.

This is funny and I might show it to someone later.

Kind of like a friendship PSA

A thing where your brain seems to compell you to feel or think you saw someone make some kind of appearance or try to get your attention in a public place once or twice (maybe just to say hey I am here) but is that a real memory or was it in a dream (but still a real message?) Maybe that will help with either going to sleep or with putting away more belongings...

I think I will look up a sad song

Notable tho

I wish I could carry more up but I will wait til the stairs aren't so slippery. Someone is playing "Heart of Glass" a bit too loud outside.

I left earlier than I needed to, and drove in worse weather conditions because I feel like there's some energy driving me out, an energy symbolized by a new coffee table book about an athlete and nice old Phil Jackson is on the cover of it, but not the main feature.

SO says to me "You have already talked to them about it." So I have.

They just do not care. At all. It is clear.

I told him about the true crime story I read, the underage criminals, the tortured teenage victim, the lack of punishment, the girl being blamed by the mother of the violator and the yakuza. I said it should not have to be that extreme to be considered a problem. And that I feel I am being driven out. That's how it feels. I also thought, if I ever have a kid...well, I cannot do all the work myself, but also cannot just trust anybody to help out. Have some foresight.

And, sorry I forgot to mention Daisy Coleman as well.

what a trip

I drove a car filled with things on unfamiliar freeways and roads in heavy rain and everything looked like a puddle of a 1970s disco impressionist painting nightmare but I told myself I would be able to rest in the living room that makes you want to do yoga soon plus I could open a present sent to me from WI and now this is what I see!

 



I need to get out a magnifying glass and read Leaves of Grass.

 




Nature is already being impressive

 


The first night in the new place there was a giant thunderclap that shattered sleep and now there are big drips of water and billows of smoke or steam coming off the roof.

Already this place is affecting how I move

Yoga stretches! This place wants you to get more limberrrrr...

Are ppl supposed to watch T. Lasso? Maybe. I am definitely going to watch A Promising Young Woman and Fantastic Fungi sometime soon...

I want to move more often

Sitting in a big empty space surrounded by unpacked cardboard boxes sipping champagne out of a yogurt glass is my kind of thing...

This is champagne time

And, it's time to set up the internet. Another terrible thing that happened this summer was a young lady (well she's young to me...) lost her father early when, in the throes of a fatal disease, he drove himself to the ER and shot himself. This seemed so horrifically unfair. She had to go to work later and tell coworkers not to make jokes about people wanting to shoot themselves. I was young once and I was traumatized when cavalier people made such jokes at a job I had in college when some people close to me were experiencing frightening times. I also still can't believe I managed to write about Hedda Gabler and get an "A." That was in college. I always had such poor grades in high school.


What an improvement!!!!

 This new place has A LOT of space!!!!

Life is cool.

If you want to move into an apartment,  you can find one where the management leaves a little surprise bottle of champagne (like here!!!)

It's of course not perfect (popcorn ceiling, sigh...) but YES it is awesome this evening! I think I like moving into new places more than I realized, and I forgot, but now I I remember and 2021 looks better and better.

People are still racing though. I might have to move out of state to get away from that.

One of the shocking fatal accidents that happened in the summer was a result of stupid drag racing.

 

Their vehicle is probably way too big

That will be interesting to maneuver into a small parking lot. I think I will say some prayers.

Sometimes life is like a staircase of obligations...

naps are like medicine lately

the Westron wind is going to be playing around sometimes

Also it's not always a nap, but a need to rest and wonder why it feels like I took a bite out of a bookshelf 

The shelves are already dismantled and most of the books are packed

I can imagine a calm person reciting liturgy 

Those beaches are on the other side of the country close to where more family lives

 ðŸŒŠðŸŒŠðŸŒŠ this whole combination of things 🌊🌊🌊

Not a panacea, but

I think learning about Integrated Healing types of things can help people get to the next step in the process (might be fast, but might be slow, depends on the person) and maybe learn about other kinds of interesting things like Taiji Poles.

So uncomfortable

Have you ever sat next to the businessman guy whose wife is breaking down on the phone with him about raising their kids or maybe just one kid or maybe she's got PPD and since nothing he says is seeming to help he  gets off the call because the plane "is going to leave" but in reality it hasn't left yet and won't for another 45 minutes well anyways he just gets to enjoy his "legitimate excuse" relief. What's she going to do now? Pull herself together, call another relative,  hopefully, I guess? So disturbing.

ITM

 Intense Time of the Month.

One time this year I think it was better when I stayed away from all wheat/white sugar types of processed things.

Maybe I will try the CBD oil.

Status change

Twinges tell me that it's not actually a compliment if you become more important to people when you...

But on the other hand, I hope all the single moms have more time and fun and good babysitters.

Flowers for everyone

 "Well, I just hope you realize..."

That's great because they all have more agency than they did in the Renaissance.

That didn't take long

I feel like a spirit of healing exists.

It was probably one of the worst true crime stories I ever read. I wondered if I would be up all night.

But now I feel like I have hot chocolate inside of my body.

Thank you for reading my story, the spirit might be saying.

only because the healing spirit is being so nice right now...

Truth universally acknowledged

If a previous incarnation had stretched out longer, some of us would be a lot older.

But she should go

with her robe and empty stocking

on a meditation retreat. That would be so Leonard Cohen.

Getting tired

Attached to the room and don't want to move. Oooh. But the new place. The plans. Oh. Nap. Why did I make the whipped coffee. I let the habits of the young people put me in limbo. How can I rest and pack later when I just put that caffeine and sugar in my system. But it's so light & airy. Oh well. Usually something sorts itself out in the end.

Someone made this in June

Although I kind of want to just watch the most recent interview in it's entirety...still interesting to watch.

I think higher powers should help women more

It's very simple.

Back to whatever I need to do to balance my off-kilter body today.

You know what

U better sleep and drink tea and sleep some more now. It's really apparent this is needed now.

aw that's a luteal phase morning

she's so tired she's so not needing excitement she wants sleep and needs to repair her sad exhausted body maybe later will need more entertainment or maybe never that's a possibility too

I went to two different stores I don't normally visit, which is my way of having an exciting evening before I retreat to my room as bad the food was good but I have a twinge in a tooth and I hope it doesn't get too exasperating.

What's this mood afterwards

White hot fury towards medical establishment.

A lot of us deserve better treatment

Better doctors who have better training and better attitudes and actual compassion . Not being one of those jerks is a karmic gift to self and to the world, too.

Imagine getting your hopes up

But the gynecologist who came with the new insurance just gives you a condescending attitude and asks if you ever heard of ibuprofen.

Oh dear being in heaven above

I know you will send me make me feel more normal tomorrow. And also, soon I probably won't hear so much drag-racing after midnight.

Some on Earth could refine their curiosity to become less intrusive but more caring through the help of our Lord and Savior and the Mother of God.

Shoulder knot dissolving while the world clatters away out there.

Praying and melting

The terrible knot of upper left shoulder pain could be dissolving. Thank God. Thank heating pads. Thank a menthol patch. Thank love in the universe.

I had an idea about packing for moving

It's like you have got a lot of boxes already packed, the insides are filled with brown rectangles and now you remove some and decide which other shapes, like blue bottles, or green glass balls, you would like to pack into the boxes.

Be HEAL-thy

Be healthy wealthy. 

People can add and edit and change what they make and it can become something more. 

And sometimes you can see something good in the third or fourth attempts at revisions.

And that's a good thing that can happen here sometimes.


I just know we need to get really smart

I just know it, because we have this whole pandemic thing happening, and that's just one reason, but I just feel it inside, that I want to make better choices and choose things that are aligned with...soul agreements! That's maybe one way of looking at it?

Sometimes I have had an ego and sometimes I have felt really in love with getting closer to what we need to be accomplishing on the planet. I am sure it can be spread across more than one lifetime, but I am in this one now, and others are in their lifetimes. Maybe we can get closer to accomplishing what we want to accomplish. (Synonym search).

And it can be a journey, too...like when they say getting there is part of the accomplishment. I want to get better at seeing how good that can be, too.

Actually, they sound like they were amazing neighbors.

Sheeran's version of Baby One More Time just makes me think he's thinking about how cool he looks singing it (sorry) so I prefer others, like the version by T. Amos or this new one, Travis because they actually make me believe they're singing it for yearning reasons. Sorry, sorry, maybe that's a very blunderous misreading.

Sunday politics

I tore myself away from obsessing about sinuses to appreciate this:

"Elizabeth Warren on Twitter: "I’ve known @RepKatiePorter since she was a law student in my bankruptcy class 20 years ago. To answer your snotty question, Sec. Mnuchin: not only is Rep. Porter a lawyer, she can run circles around you and any of your legally questionable and morally bankrupt policy failures." / Twitter

I really want to read more books in print in the future. Phone screen is cracking. Nevertheless...

it was kinda fun 2nite

I talked to 2 friends from grad school for several hours. Midwestern women in their cold states keeping in touch during these trying times!

I can breathe

I think that's a thing to celebrate too!

that's why

sometimes I am here to show you how differently the system treats ppl...are you prepared for this?

And that's just one square on my rubric cube, ha ha ha ha

so much is possible

I love that I can find ways of being better to myself and I can believe in the healing the inner child stuff and my different books and a comforter and an inward 8 year old wants to nap on a fluffy cloud and why not accept sometimes you are not even wanting to be a rational being? That's life on the planet. Heal the headache.

what if a headache is here to set me free

I really need the healing process to unfold.

It is okay. Mistakes happen. Headaches happen.

We have suffered. We have different paths and sometimes they intersect.


Differences are useful...ppl can learn stuff

We can learn things when we have different experiences. Sometimes it must be nice to learn from people who walked a path more similar to yours, but sometimes it's useful to learn from those who had different life experiences. And if there's overlap, maybe that can be interesting as well. 

I think I'll not worry about perfect wording so much. 

Some people are very busy raising families during the pandemic, but that's for some reason not how it is at the moment in this household. There are a variety of things to do on this planet, that's one thing...

Save the little communications.

flexibility...

why not work with the universe to be a creator of something...what if it's a decent warm-up for the next life, anyway?

Cats & food

That's very headache

I see once again you found more success by making the main character a guy. 

Respect for diet

Here's the headache 

vegan chocolate pie with berries and wholesome ingredients was not the best breakfast choice

Respect

Some of you guys out there

SOME OF YOU and I want to say more than one or two or three...sometimes, some of you are like the missing pieces in my puzzle, and since death is closer in these pandemic times I want to say you might have more to give and you might even have fun and we're here to grow and make things and sometimes we do it quickly and sometimes slowly so let's keep questioning, and great job, even when you led me astray, sometimes you also got me back on the right track, and I am grateful for more than your minds. By which I mean, there's energy. There's stuff in the universe. I am struggling with words but I am alright with it. Maybe there's a method behind my imperfections, but the attempts to express are what's going to help some of us get to the next fun projects, perhaps!!!

What if you are almost grateful for failure or slowness

What if your soul is grateful for the learning that comes as a result of those experiences.

Slowness...that's another avenue...sometimes that's more than you knew it could be, too...

I admire the writers, and their work...

What I think about this piece is, it's great.

GREAT.

The quarantine brings gifts

We can get in touch with ourselves even when there's tragedy and pain.

Some old teachers I wouldn't mind seeing again someday, and it's not the only time I thought so, only months of isolation have ways of bringing some things into focus. Yay?

I got a roof over my head and we get to work on a puzzle tonight.

We're going through a lot

Breaking news...the ICUs in CA have gone below 13% so the rules are going to tighten.

It's cold out there now. I saw people who seemed to be without homes when I went to the grocery store last night. The store was not crowded. But if only everyone had a warm place to stay.

We're going to move, but once again, it's crisis time.  In March, we delayed til April. Now December...will it happen this month, or will it be in January?

I'm going to take good care of my teeth. My dental insurance should cover stuff again next year.

This is the time to be a survivor.

Note to self: watch out for the donuts...

The Donut King.

Health(care) update

The equipment for the vaccine is arriving at the hospital.

Who do you meet on planes?

People who like poetry. Sometimes.

"He called three nonprofits specializing in housing for the elderly. All of them said that they had a waiting list of between five and ten years. The news gave him insomnia. In the middle of the night, he wrote:

Millionaires and billionaires and trillionaires,
You will not be moving from this earth to any other planet.
You will not be importing water to start civilization on the moon.
My name is Augustus and I am here to announce your doom.
I want you to look me in my eye and read my lips
before you trip trying to run from the angry populations and board space ships."

 ~ F. Mari and A. Evans
