Well it\u2019s been happy for me thus far.<\/p>\nWell it\u2019s been happy for me thus far.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been a bit under the weather since Sunday. Part of it I did to myself and because I\u2019m a moron I doubled down on it.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d tweaked my back. So It was uncomfortable to stand, or sit for any length of time. That was bad enough and thankfully It\u2019s much better today. But because I\u2019d hurt my back I rushed through food preparation on Sunday night and well…<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s just say, “That passed violently and painfully.\u201d It wasn\u2019t quite as rough a night, as the colonoscopy prep but it was a close second. So between that, and my lower back spasming all Sunday night and well into Monday, I\u2019ve been a little out of sorts.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Jesse has been a wonderful companion and somehow understood that I was feeling terrible. He was gentle with me on Sunday during our customary long Sunday walk.<\/p>\n
Sunday night, he turned himself into a furry heating pad against my back, while comforting me with licks and “head on my hand” in those times when my gut was twisting itself in directions it was never meant to twist. The \u201chead on hand\u201d thing is his way of saying \u201cI\u2019m here, you\u2019re not alone.\u201d He\u2019s very independent so his signs of affection have to be on his terms. Him putting his head on my hand is special.<\/p>\n
My back is still a little tweaked, but I woke up this morning appreciative that I felt so much better.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow will be the first full day of spring so live it up!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been seeing signs of Spring for the past week or so. There are these plants with very small purple flowers that pop up this time of year. I noticed they were in bloom on Saturday. I\u2019m waiting for the chocolate flower in the front bed to pop up. I noticed what looked like some green leaf tips, poking out of last years brown stems. Seeing those flowers always makes me smile.<\/p>\n
I wish the forecasts would settle down a bit. One forecast says no rain for 10 days, the other says rain tomorrow. One forecast literally said no rain, while it was reporting a \u201cWinter Storm\u201d and telling me Rain would stop soon, even though it was snowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I want to get Jesse to the groomer, but don\u2019t want to spend the money only to have him playing in mud the next day.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why I put any faith in the forecasts, they\u2019re almost never right. But Climate Change is settled science. Uh huh\u2026 I\u2019ll tell you what, start getting the daily or weekly forecasts right, then we\u2019ll talk about climate change.<\/p>\n
I know that\u2019s unfair but I can\u2019t help thinking it. Yes, Yes, Yes, all you Climate Change worshipers following Saint Greta, I know the immediate forecast and the climate change data are only loosely coupled. Yes, I know the one is talking about longer trends and is based on studies of weather beginning at the Industrial Revolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was being funny.<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t send Greta to scold me for heresy.<\/p>\n
After laying around yesterday, I\u2019m trying to get my behind in gear to move on with stuff I have to do and that I\u2019ve been procrastinating on. There\u2019s a lot that needs to be done, much of which I haven\u2019t even started. I\u2019m not just talking about stuff from Sunday. It\u2019s a lot more than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart just hasn\u2019t been into what I need to do. Probably because needing<\/em> to do something and wanting<\/em> to do something are two different things. You can need<\/em> to do something but not do it. You can want<\/em> to do something but not care if it\u2019s done today, tomorrow or next week. For me both have to be aligned or stuff doesn’t get done, I\u2019ll find distractions and excuses to avoid getting stuff done.<\/p>\n When I\u2019m focused, need & want aligned\u2026 I\u2019m unstoppable.<\/p>\n Need & Want haven\u2019t been aligned very well for a while now. In the past few weeks or so, I\u2019ve been feeling better, more focused, and less concerned about distractions. In some ways, I\u2019m feeling more like my familiar old self than I have for a while. It feels like there\u2019s something new coming too. I\u2019m not sure what, I\u2019m kinda curious though.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well it\u2019s been happy for me thus far.
