hoping to get back into the swing of this...

 I've been out of town for the past fortnight taking care of dogs, and a cat. I don't really want to go into detail about that right now... but I might choose to talk about what happened later. What I'm hoping to begin to do is write in here, regularly, again. I'm also looking forward to rebuilding my meditation practice. What disrupted these trends for me is just the simple awkwardness of being in strange surroundings and being influenced by the needs and schedules of little beasts. I should be more adaptable to slight changes in routine, but it is what it is.

Another thing I am dying to do is get back out into the hills of Las Trampas for some hiking. Spring-coolness is departing from this region very soon and this is troubling to me. I just need to focus on not being so mentally bothered by uncomfortable weather conditions. Thankfully the park stays open late into the evening, so it's possible to go for hikes in the late evening (6-9pm) when the worst heat of the day has passed, but this creates some awkwardness with scheduling what I do during the rest of the day... this brings me back into vampiric-nightowl living... staying awake into the very early hours of the morning, and staying indoors during the extreme heat of the day... oh well, it's what i've done for years and years and since I don't have any demands of having to be anywhere at a set time, I can live life during the hours of my choosing.

I'm coming around to considering another change in my attitude towards pet sitting. There are times where I get fed up with having to do this kind of work. I have one client now that gives me repeat work, which turns out to be a good supplement to my monthly income, and I'm overall content with the work that is demanded of me when I sit there.  But being open to take on new clients, this is what I think I am going to start turning down. My own comfort and peace of mind is more important to me than being busy all the time doing that kind of work. -- contrarily, the stress I had been feeling about DoorDashing with gas prices being so high, I don't do that work very often so the little bit of it that I do do doesn't cost me all that much for buying gas.

Okay, I'm not really saying anything new in this entry, I guess I'm just trying to get my typing-thinking juices flowing again...

I'm also looking forward to being back home to get my meditation and healing routines back on track. I haven't even been listening to videos of my favorite youtubers either... so much to get caught up on... Ooh, and tomorrow I'm doing a 12 hour juice fast, really looking forward to that! Well, I'm sitting here staring at this screen hoping more deep ideas and insights might arise, and they aren't... sooooo

Oh, and Thomas, I had asked you a question about a month ago about wriing for money online, and you were going to give me a phone call on a Monday afternoon... you never called... I've kinda lost steam about that idea, but if you have any thoughts, please feel free to share them... in the comment box is fine.
