Transitioning

Sunday, June 26, 2011

So much for getting the last bit of writing work off Friday morning. It was late afternoon before I hit the send button. As I was drifting off to sleep that night, I remembered something fairly important that I had forgotten to do with the manuscript. By morning I realized something else I needed to address. Aaaargh. Anyhow I took care of both things in a mere three more hours and resent everything.

I was sure that by this morning I would have a tad more energy. I knew pretty quick this morning that that wasn’t going to be exactly true. I had promised to get to Linda’s this morning so she could finish up a couple of little things on my taxes. She was hoping I could qualify for some foreign income something or other, but it turned out that I couldn’t. Maybe next year. At least I have everything now ready to be mailed after I write a couple of checks. I went directly to yoga from her place. I have hardly been in weeks. During the practice, I went from thinking I was going to fall asleep, to thinking I was as strong as ever, to hurting, to praying it would end, to realizing how great it is, round and round.

I stopped at Ace Hardware as I was wending my way home to pick up a pot and potting soil as promised so Maria could repot a plant for me. I also got some plug things to shut off some of my watering system. And I actually remembered to pick up a lasar pointer to give Junebug a workout. She was dashing around chasing a light reflection from my phone the other day. Of course, we all know that cats are 100% unpredictable, but I’m hoping she’ll chase this lasar light a while and then be so tired she’ll have to sleep more than usual.

I then made a beeline for Target to stock up on canned catfood and a few other staples like food for myself. And since Linda had a great tower fan with a white noise feature that I really liked that she bought at Target, I also picked up one for myself.

My next task is to finish up everything with GU and transition to WhyIndiaWhyNot.
