Terra Dulcis

 Daybook for October 21st 

Listening to:  Youtube music.  BeeGees, Capaldi, chant.  Yeah, I'm a complicated thing.  Anything to help raise my mood.  (See below a couple of paragraphs.) 

Wearing:  a cute skirt made from a dress.  I just cut off the bodice - it has a drawstring. No sewing necessary.  Good decision.  I like it much better as a skirt. 

Feeling:  Had a boo-boo yesterday, and it was ALL my fault.  No other cars involved, no other people involved.  Just me and my truck.  But I feel stupid, humiliated, ridiculous, sad, irritated at myself.......etc.  All the feels.  Oh well, now it's just onward and upward getting it repaired.  It can be driven, but driver side door won't open and I have to climb over the console.  Not pretty.

In other news at Terra Dulcis:  Got our new floor beams put under the house.  Nothing shimmies, nothing shakes.  Mama can dance.  I just don't feel like it right now.  But now this hundred plus year old house can stand for a good time into the future.   Tommy is working on getting our septic system rooted out.  Enough said about that.  Then, he's going to shore up the kitchen at the back of the house (which was added probably in the 50s).  Oh, and we finally got the pool closed for the season!     

Looking forward:  Tonight is sister dinner and we're going to an old standby place one small town over from me.  It's our final regular dinner for the year until Christmas party the Saturday after Christmas.  My birthday is Saturday.  Two of my grand loves arrive next week!  Marine Ball is fast approaching and I finally made a decision on what to wear, and I am pleased!  Now to decide what to do with my hair..........

Pondering:  *How blissful sleep is; what a blessing not to wake up in the middle of the night.  For some reason that's been happening a lot (even b4 yesterday!)  With the help of melatonin the alarm woke me up this morning.  *Thinking how time just keeps on ticking, even when we're in the middle of something.  I'll just be glad when I feel myself again.  *Scripture.  I love hearing something read in Mass that feels like it was written for just me to hear.  That's powerful. 

In closing I leave you with a meditation:

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Blessings and peace be with you.  kellie
