Finally! Restlessness and weird, itchy twitchies; explained!

After nearly a week of feeling restless and out of sorts, accomplishing very little and even foregoing a night of dancing just to avoid being around large numbers of people, the explanation has made itself known; but not before spending another day snuggling with cats who were also itch-twitchy and out of sorts. Today, two 6+ magnitude earthquakes hit the west coast of the Americas. One around San Francisco and the other in Peru. Where am I? Between the two! No wonder my household has been so uncomfortable and I’ve experienced such an extreme lack of motivation! No wonder the cats have been following me around and gluing themselves to my body as often as possible! There is a veritable cacophony of Earth energy bouncing around us, making grounding close to impossible!

At least now that the culprit has revealed himself, I can start getting things done again! But just when I decide I’m going to get back to the gym in the morning, I give myself a serious (could even need stitches, serious) gash on the knuckle of the index finger on my right hand. I’ve gone through three band-aids so far, and it’s bled through all of them. I am begging the Powers that Be that I will be spared a long night in the local ER! Sadly, this can’t be blamed on an earthquake, but simply my own, inherent grace and inability to watch where I’m going (not to mention, one of those nice, sharp lids from a pull-top cat food can!).

While it may not be wise to send the blood pumping too quickly through my veins until I’m sure the little “boo boo” has closed up, this should keep me planted in front of my computer long enough to edit the last ten pages of my novel, so all is not lost! (slowed down a bit as I can already feel my typing speed losing points, and my ability to type for long periods of time being impaired) Yes, as I look at my throbbing finger, encased in three band-aids, I feel an odd detachment from it all, as if the functionality of my physical self isn’t really all that important. If it’s one thing I’ve always been good at, it’s work-arounds.

Healthy eating is going much better though. The choices I’ve brought into the house this week and a batch of turkey taco meat to go with my salads gives both healthiness and the ability to grab and go.  It makes it just as easy to have a healthy, quick meal as it had been to resort to frozen stuff and dry cereal. Score one for the good guys!

As loss of blood has slowed down my brain, you get a short one tonight, but be warned that tomorrow could make up for it!

My gratitudes tonight are:
1. I am grateful for helpful kitties when blood is pouring out of me and I’m trying to make it down the hall to the first aid kit. Now, if they could only help with the bandaging while keeping from sticking themselves between the bandaid and my skin!
2. I am grateful for a container of lunch stuff, ready to be assembled on demand.
3. I am grateful that the reasons for my feeling out of sorts have revealed themselves at last.
4. I am grateful that I can just start clean tomorrow with the new week.
5. I am grateful for abundance; love, joy, happiness, harmony, peace, health, prosperity.

Namaste
