1. Make my home a beautiful retreat.

We bought a bed for my place and I slept here last night for the first time in a week. Long story, but my bed was really old so we threw it away and A. bought this magnificent Tempurpedic mattress that we just moved from my place to his. I felt so bad for my kitty because, although I was stopping in every day to give him food and water, what he really needs is a lot of power snuggling and last night and this morning, I was able to give him that. He was not built for loneliness. I’m also enjoying being here and the quiet sounds outside the window. This week, I will do:
Flylady routines meticulously

1. Make my home a beautiful retreat.

I am between two places now. It is a little confusing. I’m struggling to take care of my place and also spending a lot of time at my boyfriend’s. Initially, I was afraid of where he moved to but now I’m in love with it, with the community feel of the neighborhood, the beach at the end of the street, and the apartment. This week, I will:
Do the Flylady routines and stick with the missions.
Also, do the housecleaning routine.

2. Plan a monthly self-care plan on or near the first of each month with the intention that I get all the support that I need.

He is having a concert on the 28th. I can promote this on Facebook and send out Facebook invites.
Also, I realize that one of the best ways I can support him is to support my own creativity. My neglect of my own just can’t translate well when I support him, so..write a poem each day, attend Rhino this month, submit a poem to ‘Poetry that Moves’.

5. Plan meet and greets with friends 2-4 times a month and send a card to an out of town friend every week.

Asking a friend for brunch for Saturday, and considering a monthly thing.

1. Make my home a beautiful retreat.

Continuing to work work on things, the Flylady projects. My place looks lovely and feels peaceful. Have donated so much stuff and organized things where other people are also noticing the difference. Also, my place is being useful to more people than me. Sounds funny, but for the longest time it was a place for me to isolate and now I have no qualms about inviting people in.

We went to a music camp for grownups in the beginning of August and this past weekend traveled to New York to gather with his family for his sister-in-law’s birthday party. His family, although I gathered from the way they’ve been towards him by email and phone, were wonderful to meet in person, very laidback and funny and smart. Also, they were really sweet hosts and very welcoming and hospitable.

It’s been an interesting week. I got pretty ill with an upper respiratory virus and took most of the work week off. It’s the first time at this job I’ve ever done such a thing, and it felt really good! I realize I am very ready to move into my career of choice and really want to be in a place where I’m treated as a sacred adult. This place has been a cocoon for me but now all of the rules and regs enforcements has felt like corset stays and it makes it difficult to breathe. It also feels more political and it’s not where I choose to be in the long run. I’ve enjoyed writing ‘fantasy journals’ about my fantasy job/career. It was something recommended to me by Karen Rauch Carter, a feng shui specialist, when I asked her about another aspect of my life, and it has been great to write about my vision of work and affirming it as already true.

1. Make my home a beautiful retreat.

Donate stuff.
Bring table to storage room. So happy about this! We brought down the table, another table, an office chair, and a computer monitor…some things went to the alley to be thrown away. My main room looks enormous. Also, A. bought us a vacuum cleaner and a lot of dust got discovered through suction! Energy has definitely been cleared!

4. Love and appreciate my partner and support him in his creative endeavors.

Practice leaning back this week and self-care. I feel..I want…, etc. (Realizing when I focus on A. too much, it’s time to go to an alanon meeting or see a friend. It really is symptomatic of my isolation, and I was cooped up this week with my cold. The great thing about going to the meetings is that I keep running into people I haven’t seen in ages and even years who I’m really happy to see and vice versa.:) A. has also appreciated my residual happiness, too.)
Check out his recital schedule and request time off.
