Sunday Updates

As I suspected, hubby came home a day early from Asheville.  There wasn't anything keeping him and he finished what he needed to do.  It's nice to have him back.

I watched The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (Netflix).  Short 8 episodes and it's so well done.  Funny, satirical spoof on suspense books and Lifetime movies.  Absurd, but done in such a nuanced, clever way.  It was a little scary and a lot funny and some over-the-top absurd.  

I have my second Spanish class today and I'm ready.  One minor glitch -- hubby invited the kids and dogs over just minutes before the class starts.  I need quiet so it's not distracting for the other people in the class.  Bookclub can hold on mute and I can walk away from the screen -- no big deal.  This is different.  Instructor teaching and lots of speaking requirements during the class.  It has to be quiet with no distractions for the other students.  The dogs SMELL me under the closed door and scratch and cry.  I've said I need this hour and I expect it to be respected.  Boundary -- and if crossed, no more over on Sunday while my class is going.  I asked that they go to the kids' house instead, but that isn't happening.  Last week didn't go smoothly with hubby here and I talked to him about it -- now this week has potential to be worse.  Hopefully, I'm wrong.

I'm really into the journaling prompts -- I did the question about buffering yesterday.  Wrote 4 pages of thought downloads down a rabbit hole questions and feelings.  I ended up at some memories and real crying for a little while.  That kind of deeply buried emotion always surprises me -- I'm not a crier and definitely not a memory crier about something from 25 years ago.  It felt good though.  I stopped as quickly as I started -- it's kind of a different kind of crying.  Left me feeling good, not drained.

I listened to Brene Brown's latest episode on finding your 2 core values -- so good.  I downloaded the pdf to do those journal prompts this week.  BTW she's not releasing any new podcasts until Spotify pulls misinformation about the pandemic.  

Another thing I'm doing which is unusual for me -- I'm keeping the thought downloads to look over them. I usually don't like to keep anything this personal floating around, but it's helpful to give a little space and look them over again.  I'd hope if hubby finds them, he'd be respectful and not poke fun at the crazy talk in my head.  Going all in for coaching means not being afraid to be seen.

Anyway ...

Have a good Sunday.  Stay well.  Later gators.
