Sunrise sauntering

 We got up early, had our coffee, and went to Bluff Creek Park for a walk in the woods.

It was lovely, but started to get too hot by the time we were leaving.  I needed it, none the less.  It had been weeks since I was out in nature of any kind, and that was when we were in Kentucky.

Saw lots of deer tracks, but no deer. I was hoping for a moment of connection with one.

Tomorrow looks to be the most reasonable day all week, with a high of only 80.  The whole rest of the coming week will be awful, like it has been.

Just way too hot way too soon.

Anyway, Dave made breakfast when we got back from our walk. Used left over sweet potatoes, browned in a skillet, as a base for fried eggs.  It was delicious and filling.

It was my idea, but his work.  He's really enjoying cooking breakfasts these days!

My back and hip pain has gotten so bad lately that I got permission to take another break from the hormone blocker.  I've been taking Aleve every 12 hours, and that's REALLY been helping.

I went to dance class last week, but was afraid to really move because the pain was too much.  It was very frustrating.  That was what led me to ask doc if I could take another break.

Should be better this week.

Things next door have been quiet for a full week!  Oh, except for one screaming fight in the middle of Wednesday night again.  This time, it was Teacher and Party Girl... no one else was there.

Anyway, I guess someone got the message across.  Party Girl hasn't been here much, but when she has been, she's either been alone (no 5 carloads of friends anymore), or Teacher has been here, which always meant a quiet night before.

Party Girl was there overnight, alone, last night.  There was nary a sound!!

SO I am very relieved that chapter is closed.  It was very stressful for us all, human and cat.

Yesterday, I hosted and led an international zoom meeting of my spiritual community.  Our usual leader/mentor was traveling the week before, and asked me to do this season's gathering.

It was truly an honor, and it went very well.  I am very proud of this accomplishment!

Also, it was good experience, if I ever manage to get any kind of a business going again with my spiritual work.

My dentist visit was just fine.  The cleaning went easily, and there were no issues that required treatment of any kind.

Not much else to say at the moment.  Dave hopes to get a few things done outside today, before it gets into the  90s.  I am going to go through my closet and put more cool weather stuff away.

Hoping to do some deep relaxation yoga while my pain is at a minimum, to try to regain some of my flexibility and ease of movement while I can.

I also have a meditation to do later for the full moon. Looking forward to it.

It should be a pretty easy day today, then back to the office tomorrow.

Have a good week!
