Cold Morning

I got a really good night's sleep. I piled on an extra comforter, and it felt good.

Did my normal morning routine, except that I had blueberry crepes for breakfast. They were delicious.

Harlee was lonely, so I gave her some pets and snuggles. She always makes it sound like something is terribly wrong with her, and I come running. She's got me well-trained.

It's windy and cold out, and they're predicting snow later tonight. I want to run a couple of errands in the afternoon (especially getting more crepes if they still have them!), but I think that I'll stay home otherwise.

Oh, I worked on the list of 100 things that I want to do in my life last night, and drew a blank after around 50 items. Most of the items are attainable, so I need to work towards them.

Driving in a Winter Wonderland

Mimi wants my chair, and she will give me only a sliver of it. Thanks, Mimi.

One thing that the time tracking is pointing out is that I waste a ton of time in the morning. I didn't really get anything done until I left to run errands (well, except for a shower).

The snow has arrived. I was driving around in it, very gingerly towards the end. They're predicting 2 to 3 inches, so I'm glad that I'm home for the night.

I did get more crepes. I restrained myself to getting only two boxes, although there was a pile of them. At Walmart, I wound up getting frozen tortellini and some pesto sauce. That will make a nice meal. And some pierogies :)

Also got the power strip for my microwave, so that it won't draw electricity when I'm not using it.

Just treated the carpet, and I'm about to continue scrubbing (pretreating) it by hand. I want to wash the carpets with the carpet cleaner tomorrow.

My Meditation Practice Has a Few Challenges

I've decided that I really have no excuse for not meditating because it's something that I can do after the neighbors go to sleep. I just went into the bedroom and meditated. Mimi came in, probably to see if I was going to sleep, saw my lap, went "Oooh, a lap!", and climbed on it. Umm, Mimi, that's not the idea. It reminds me of when Random was a kitten, and he fell asleep on my leg when I was meditating.

The winter storm is, well, storming. Grateful that I have a home and heat. Even if Mimi keeps taking my chair.

Need to write out my to-do list for tomorrow, and then go to sleep.

Oh, I'm putting different colored stars on my calendar for days that I work on the place, meditate, etc. I hope that it helps motivate me.
