Calming

Writing calms me.  My system is a bit nervous.  Change has never been hard for me.  Ever.  I am feeling overwhelmed.  I know it is just my thoughts about what is happening.  Now it is affecting my colon.  Probably more information than you needed or wanted to know.  But it is what it is. 

I need/want to get out of my head.  A friend wrote me a note about dogs.  She said how much she loved her, mourned them when she lost them but will wait for a better time to get another one.  You all know by know I love my little pooches, but I am really...really not a dog person.  At least not two untrained pooches.  My doing.  I bought them organic bones and just gave them to both dogs.  They are busy and very happy to have something to chew upon.  It is analogous to my writing.  Calming. 

Sometimes when I need calming I chew on something as well.  It isn't bones, mostly something crunchy.  Maybe I was a canine in another life.  Probably eaten by a larger being. 

My head is slowing now.  The vibrations are calmer. 

Now the dogs moved apart from one another.  The chewing is more tenacious now.  They don't want to risk losing their individual bones to the other.  Competitive little beings they are.  I just removed the lampshade, err e-collar from the larger dog because I had to wash her face earlier.  The collar is drying and I will put it back.  The vet wants it on her until Tuesday, making it two weeks since mole removal.  Both dogs, I am happy to report, are doing well. 

I am doing better now, too.  My hands don't feel so tight.  My shoulders are lower, my feet are up.  I'll need a pedicure in a week.  Geeze, I am sounding like Nora Ephron - so stream of conscious.  What a loss.  I would like to have known Nora.  My kind of person, though probably more wired than I.

My eastern philosopher teacher has been on my mind recently.  Nearly called him the other day.  Wanting to hear his calming voice.  My own 'reframing' and 'reminding' had a glitch apparently.  I usually cook when I need calming.  I am not in my own kitchen.  I will be soon.  Cookies away, or a soup.  Soup are nice to make.  I like the chopping.  

My sinuses have been acting up with all the rain.  The mold clogs me. No doubt due to my irritability (chakra issue) with all I needed to do.  Today I will spend in calmness. Nothing to do at all this weekend but eat and rest.  Chocolate is in the grocery bag.  I'll have a field day with it.

This house is lovely but anything but efficient.  I appreciate the exercise I am getting with all the steps.Being in the moment now.  Breathing is getting easier.  Sinuses are opening.  The sun is out!
