Hello, Weekend and More Goodies (pictures)

I DRAGGED myself to GNI last night -- I wanted nothing more than sweatpants and a book in bed.  It was a better night than I predicted though.  The dinner was good (she owns a restaurant and caters from there).  We played a game that's similar to BINGO ...  Pokeno.  Easy and pure luck.  I lost my $5, but it was nice to all sit together with one big conversation.

A couple of things I realized. I was majorly PMSing and that was probably 90% of my mood yesterday.  Also, I had a couple of glasses of red wine and I'm starting to think red wine makes me stuffy and sneezy.  Sulfites, I guess.  I need to pay more attention to that connection.  I drank to wake myself up -- I was dragging.  Probably a mistake.  I wasn't in the mood for the wine and wish I chose differently.

I didn't get home until 11 o'clock and between wine, PMS (now my monthly) and less sleep, I'm hurting this morning.

While I was gone another FUN package was delivered and it's just what I needed today.  Poppy and Dot.  Super soft fuzzy quarter-zip and joggers ... house lounging and dog walking.  They don't really "go" together, but I don't care -- they match because they are both COMFORTABLE!






UPDATE on the diffuser:
I added a lot more oil and STILL can barely smell it.  Maybe I need different oils?  I can smell it when I'm right next to it, but it doesn't scent the room.  Dang.  The oil pack has 5 choices, so I'm upping it again today.

I read more of The Seat of the Soul.  I don't love it; I don't even like it.  So much talk of karma and karma that affects lifetimes.  Not sure I believe that's entirely true.  It feels like a kind of Catholic guilt thing ... every bad thing you do will mean a bad thing coming back to you -- during some lifetime.  It feels like a scare tactic, not an uplifting message.  Also, you can be paying the price (so to speak) from other lifetimes of your soul.  I want to finish it and move on.  AND, I want to finish the book because it'll be my first 19 of 2019 goals completed.  The message has similarities to Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle, but it's feels harsh and sends ME the message that perfection is the only answer.  I bet that's why I gave the book away -- I probably didn't like it the first time either!!

Today is a quiet day.  A couple of errands, paperwork and a phone call with Darcie (my PHB accountability partner).  We decided to talk twice a month -- hope it continues.

Happy Friday -- later gators.
