what was your high yesterday? I had three.
First, we started the day with a convo about life and beliefs. It got me thinking about the Big Bang, and how I am energy from that. I am soot dancing in the flame. I am part of the eternal process. I am possibility, itself. Being is pretty damn cool.
Second, my resident brought me lunch. She brought me a McChicken! Adorable. She is aged, she lives in poverty, and has a hard life, but she decides to think about little ol’me. I am lucky to know such people.
Last, I picked up my daughter from the dorm last night and brought her to my house for dinner. we talked academics. we talked about stress. we talked about why we’re here. I mean HERE on the planet. We discussed over-thinking and under-thinking. Then we went and did a relaxation and body scan meditation. It was calm, and peaceful, and fulfilling.

my highs and lows came at work. they usually do :D one of the residents called me Ducky, which is eastern canadian speak for Girl really, but in an affectionate way. it made me smile. the other day he called me Sparky though :D but that makes me smile too. thats me Sparky !my low was probably just watching tensions grow between a couple of coworkers. as i backed away slowly out of the room lol
@BelleMadre old people are the sweetest!
my high was getting back on my FitBit track.
I was really out of it last week with three days in bed and then multiple more struggling to feel normal.
Previous to that experience I had about three weeks in a row where I hit 4 key targets every day. Yesterday was my first time in about a week where I hit the four targets and it gives me a starting point for another potential run.
It’s a bit of a fad, but it’s fun to feel like accomplishment goes with the effort. Been enjoying the interaction as we share and compete with each other.
@spitfire3dc I’m on board with healthy living. Why in bed? Did you have flu? The flu has been awful this year. I have been around a lot of people that had the flu, but I haven’t gotten it yet. I have been taking two vitamin c’s every day during flu season
@Scarlett Yes. Flu. I took a couple of Vit C’s as part of recovery. I think it helped. Glad its done. This year’s strain has not been fun. Stay strong.
All of my lows came as a function of work.
All of my highs came as I refused to let them define the past month.
I am Dreamer of Hearts, so get my highs defining and seeing other’s hearts. ie, praise for coworkers, via trying to see them. And here, and elsewhere, as well.
This day, is affected/effected by past week. Spent two days in ICU, bled over a bucket of blood via shat, vomiting, and endoscopy draining because of a badly bleeding ulcer which was initially misdiagnosed as food poisoning and lower intestinal issue. Back to normal now. Only missed two days of work.
So, typically immortality fun. Been slowly reconstructing my own heart, seeing myself, via others finally seeing me.
Had good work meet with boss, last meet was bad enough I drew out my big black wings to fly away. But cancelled that.
Lotsa fun management of what people I speak to think.
Appreciating that perk of being the dreamer of hearts, lol.
Thank God I don’t have to do this with many.
All these nice stories and I come in with playing a new video game and highly enjoying seeing references from another game in it. Seems about right though, lol.
I asked Immortal Pirate to change the pedestal of our bed, so that it will fit our new mattress better. I said that I did not care, even if he went with the 1970’s style of putting it up on cement blocks and boards. I wanted the board under the mattress to fit right. When your mattress is a Temperpedic “cloud”, you want to have it supported with a good platform pedestal.
We went to Home Depot and I bought all the wood and hardware. From the look of the wood on the cart, I did not expect much.
I went to have my taxes done at H&R Block. The good news was that I did not owe as much as I thought I would. That was high #1.
When I got home, Immortal Pirate had most of the bed pedestal built — and it was so nice that it looks like it was bought from a furniture store. I keep forgetting that a man who builds a Pirate Ship for our dining room, and makes really nice guitars, is going to make a nice looking piece of furniture to go in our bedroom. It has storage under the pedestal frame. That was high #2.
Then, a few hours ago, we went to a furniture store and bought night stands that match the bed Immortal Pirate made. So now, I am on high #3. Our bedroom got a really nice make-over, with plenty of good looking storage space.

…and getting out in nature. Worked from home yesterday because the hill to get to work was too icy. Ended up taking a walk by a river at lunch. Nature recharges me.
Keeping yourself healthy. That is good. Your kids need you.
Lady Barbara made home made soup from all the left-overs from the Ono Hawaiian Barbecue she bought the other day for our dinner. She put gluten free rice noodles in the soup too. With each re-heating the soup gets better and better. I think I’ll have some right now.
