I love you!
I awoke at 3 AM and wrote some of my blog. I was a few days behind because I was processing a lot of emotions. I was working through emotions while writing and I could only write a little at a time. I took a break from writing and put on a body mapping healing meditation. It was really intense when the body mapping got to my right leg, which was severely burned by hot water when I was a baby. My leg is covered with skin grafts. Huge emotions welled up being present with my burnt leg. It has been aching and aching lately. I cried and moaned for a few minutes until the feelings associated with my leg passed. The body mapping meditation was so intense that I turned it off so that I could sleep some more. I finally drifted to sleep again at around 5:30 AM.
At 6:30 AM, I woke up and jumped out of bed. I was so tired, I wanted to sleep more but it was time to get up. I started making tea and woke up Angel. I made her oatmeal, we got dressed and hearted (headed) out.
I drove to Cambridge to do a cleaning opportunity. I cleaned for 3 hours and Angel did her schoolwork. When I was finished, we drove the backroads on our way back to Council and picked up Angels phone from a client I had cleaned for on Monday. Angel had left her phone there and my client had let me know yesterday that she had found it. My client wasn’t home but had left the phone outside in a box. She had left an apple and orange in there for us too which was really thoughtful.
On the drive, I drank my smoothie that was left over from yesterday and we listened to a Nancy Drew audiobook. When we got to Council, we stopped at the grocery store. I bought some really yummy medjool dates that the grocery store started carrying last week. The dates are so soft and delicious. I am now addicted to them and can’t imagine life without them.
Next we stopped at the thrift store and I found a few little organizers with drawers that I can use to sort my sewing supplies. After thrifting, I checked on Lila and let her out and we went home. I started laundry washing and played a game of Life with Angel. I don’t have a TV or Wi-Fi and I don’t want them. Since moving into the camper Angel and I have started playing board games and card games together and we both really enjoy it. I grew up playing board games and cards with my dad and have fond memories of those times together. He was a funny man and he would get me laughing so hard that I would be rolling in the floor in tears. He’s been gone since 2011 and I miss doing things with him. He was a great dad.
I made Angel homemade mac-n-cheese and made myself a yummy salad. I put the laundry in the dryer and took an hour nap. I slept deeply and felt rested when I woke up. I got the laundry and put it away. Then I watched YouTube videos of people that survived being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Angel and I played a cactus card game called What’s the Point and I made her dinner. She spilled her dinner all over the floor while trying to eat and play fetch with Bits at the same time. I yelled at her and cleaned up the mess. Then later I apologized for yelling.
We went to Lila’s. I fed her and let her out. Angel stayed with Lila and Bits while I cleaned the bank. While cleaning, I listened to a memoir called My Cross to Bear by Gregg Allman. When Angel and I got home, we brushed our teeth and got ready for bed. We played a couple games of What’s the Point and went to bed. I put on a sleep meditation and we fell asleep at 11 PM.
Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you.
Love, Victoria
