Now it is clean-up time. Time to do lots and lots of laundry. It was also time to do some repair work. My daughter enjoys sewing. I wanted to help her out so I repaired a pillow. She and I are in the process of sewing.
Christmas is harder now in some ways. My space constraints are tighter. Always one to love having company, this place is just too tight for more than one. Especially with my dogs. In my NC life, I had a utility room. They were relegated there when I had company. I also had a backyard.
But it doesn't work to talk about what was. There are way to many "what was's." Epicletus plays on my mind.
"It's not what happens to you, it is your thoughts about what happened to you." Epicletus.
I somewhat understand people who like or who have zero tolerance for anything deviating from their quiet. I know a couple like that. Even barking dogs bother them. More rigid than I for you. And glad I have some flexibility. It doesn't get easier with age, either.
My Blu Ray is working. Twas a bit confusing, albeit very frustrating with my family members all telling me how to start it at the same time. I am one of those step by step people. Finally, in total disgust I let it out.
"Consider me special ed when it comes to this. Then maybe...maybe you can slow down enough to actually help me." Trust me. It wasn't said in kindness or compassion. Grrr.
I was reminded to let the energy go. Others had moved on.
I also ended the beginning of a relationship with a very immature man. I will listen to my intuition better next time. Hopefully.
It was a nice holiday. Seeing my family is wonderful. My best moments were dinner out at a local restaurant. No stress, easy conversation. Yup, the best.
I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
