Observation - The ‘Long Haul’ Can Distract You From Daily Living

Tonight I hurt. I hurt a lot. The Job is taking a little bit of a toll on me. It’s harder, all around, then I think one might conceive. I mean, right off the bat, it is a long time to be standing. For me, that problem is magnified by the fact that I really don’t have the proper shoes - for working or standing. I did give the restaurant manager my shoe order this week. Now, I can only hope he actually ordered them. It is also constant work. When it is slow there are always things to get done and when it is busy it takes a whole lot of mental focus. That is, if you’re going to do it right. Now, add in all of the interactions with people - other employees, managers, guests - and it can feel overwhelming. And, that’s for anyone. Being an empath it can be even more so.

The week itself wasn’t terrible. I had Monday and Tuesday off. Wednesday and Thursday were both 7 ½ hour days. The shifts themselves were right in the middle of the day. So, I had plenty of time in the morning and at night to do what I needed or even just relax. Friday was even shorter at 6 hours. However, when I got home from work Friday night, ‘Jim’ was here and that was a little out of control. Saturday was a 10 hour shift and today was 9 ½. They don’t really give breaks out. Except for minors, I don’t really see anyone take a real break. This morning was also my first early morning shift - starting at 0530. This was particularly rough after starting my weekend run with ‘Jim’ then moving into the 10 hour shift. I also got myself awake earlier than I really needed to, but I wasn’t sure how things would flow for me this morning so I wanted to give myself plenty of time for glitches. I hope I can shave some of that off moving forward.

I am also hoping that as I move forward and get more used to everything again, that things will mellow out and get a little easier. I feel like I didn’t really get much done in my off time this week. Granted, a lot of my morning time gets taken up by WTML in some way or another, and I did lose a whole evening with ‘Jim’. Sooner or later, I should find balance. It’s just that right now things are a little off kilter. For instance, I came home this afternoon grabbed a shower, ran an errand and then just rested. When I started this writing it had been 4 hours since I arrived home. Then, suddenly, I just needed to sleep. It was way too early for that and I was trying to fight it as long as I could. I lost that fight and it is now 0030.

I am doing my best to stay on course while, at the same time, trying not to push myself too hard. Of course, then the danger is going too far in the other direction and not pushing hard enough. The Balance of Life is funny like that. But, I am finding that I feel slightly overwhelmed.

This project alone takes up a great deal of my time between blog posts and videos and even planning.

WALT: Wait...there’s a plan.

Sometimes. Yes.

JOHNNY: All the time, Reverend. You just never follow it.

You don’t always tell me what it is.

JOHNNY: Fair enough.

The spiritual stuff is also taking a bite out of time.

WALT: Crime.

What?

WALT: Take a bit out of crime.

Oh my god. Could you please? It is way too late in the night for this.

WALT: Once again, I’d like to point out that it’s you getting me out of bed for this.

I work when the clock chimes.

DOC: For whom Ze bell tolls

WALT: All of us, Doc. The bell tolls for all of us.

Anyway, the daily devotions and rituals do take up time. It’s not a terrible amount of time, but I am finding that I want to delve deeper. That will take more time.

My list of crafting and projects grows exponentially each week.

I feel like there is never a time when the whole of me is at rest. If my body isn’t on the go then my mind is. Even when I sleep my spirit roams. Dreamtime has become much more intense. For instance, when I laid down earlier there was lots of stuff going on. It came in pieces and I was in and out of consciousness quite a bit, so it is hard to put them all together.

At one point, I was leaving The Putters’. I don’t know what I was doing there or any other details. Now, The Putters’ is right next to Old Geistopia. They share a driveway. This was in the Dreamtime. As I went down the drive, on my left was Old Geistopia and I could see it. On my right was a row of vehicles at The Putters’. This is not an uncommon sight. People are always coming and going from The Putters’. One of these vehicles was a work truck of some sort. In my mind, I had associated it with Sparky. But, still, I could look at it and acknowledge that it wasn’t his actual work truck. So, in my mind I wondered if they had someone else there doing work. There was another thought at the end of this but I do not know what it was. There was something significant about that truck but I do not remember enough details about it to even venture a guess as to why.

There was some sort of writing or a logo/design on the side of the truck. I had a reaction to it, but I can’t really place the reaction. It’s also at this point that the tone of the Dreamtime seemed to change.

The next thing I can remember is being at The MattCave. Only it wasn’t The MattCave. It had more rooms, and an upstairs. Still, in the Dreamtime, it was The MattCave. I vaguely recall chatting with The Professor by phone or text in the Dreamtime and this is confirmed later on in the same.

Anyway, there was at least one other person with me. I feel like there were two, but I can only recall one actual presence, but for a moment. It was a female but I do not know who she was. I didn’t see a face. It turns out we were setting fire to The MattCave. Like a serious, planned out, arson fire. I think it is interesting because it was obviously a conscious and planned out thing. Yet, once it was started I panicked and started going through The Cave and grabbing ‘valuables.’

I should point out that most of these ‘valuables’ were alcoholic in nature. Or, at least, the ones I can remember. Such as the fancy bottle of tequila that, “The Professor had given me.” This intrigues me because The Professor has never given me a bottle of tequila. But, The Lil Boss’ in-laws did. In fact, it was almost the same bottle. Again, I can vaguely recall part of my consciousness acknowledging that the association wasn’t correct.

Anyway, I come out of The Cave with my treasures in a plastic grocery bag. [Which is how I carry thins to and fro all the time.] The driveway at Old Geistopia is flooded. I mean flooded to the point that I was swimming across it. I had to and I was barely keeping afloat. The Putter was on the other side in his yard talking to me. He said something about The Professor trying to get in touch with me. He was standing by a car. Another visitor, but I do not know who.

That is when I woke up and eventually settled into writing.

Even though I can’t understand it all, and I know the associations are wrong, I look at all of that and realize there is something significant about it. Or, I wouldn’t have remembered it. I’m being told something. But what?

Okay. So let’s touch base with The Experiment as a whole. That is the current purpose to Sunday, is it not?

We are coming up on the end of Week 6 - Family, Service, Logical Creativity. Do I understand this number yet? Not even a little bit. I think it may forever elude me. Still, if I look at some of those elements, I can see it.

There has been a really big focus on this email thing and Big ‘D’ this past week. I need to do this so that I can find some closure on things and move onward. I just want to do it right - in love and in light.

Family.

I have been trying to be cognizant of my work life. Not so much the work itself, but the reason I am there. It has been established that it is not about the career. One thought is that it is a wish that took me there. But, it could be more.

I have gathered over the past couple of days that the assistant manager is unhappy. Unhappy enough to contemplate changes. Back in the day, I would have seen this as an opportunity for advancement. I certainly have the skill and ability for it. [And, that actually becomes another talking point.] i did even contemplate this for a moment. Then I was reminded that I am not looking for a career. So, i began to think that maybe the better course is to try to lift her up, ease her a bit. Perhaps in this she will find some balance and satisfaction.

Service.

Logical creativity? I got nothing at the moment.

But, back to that talking point. I do have the skills and abilities and knowledge to run a restaurant. [Or, any business I choose, I suppose.] In fact, something in today had me taking a look at how much of my life and experience has been geared towards just such a thing. For instance, when I worked for The Coffe Place both time, I had this really cool District Manager. When he wanted to correct you on something, he wouldn’t tell you that you were wrong. Instead, he would use the phrase, “Best Practice…”

Find I use this phrase to this day. It’s so perfect because you are not reprimanding, or even correcting really. You are merely suggesting, and at the same time planting.

“Best practice - every time a customer orders this, ask if they want sauce. Mark it on the order, even if they don’t. It saves time and confusion when we are handing out.”

BUt, that’s what I’m talking about. I have learned so many different things and techniques over the years. My life has been geared towards some sort of leadership/training position. Why can’t it be my own?

So, now we are entering Week 7. & is a Number of Healing and Completion. This is found through the 7 Chakras, 7 Days, 7 Notes, 7 Colors, 7 Planets, and so on.

I feel like this is true as I enter this week. I have healed quite a bit and I can feel it on all levels. But, I am not quite finished. Things are falling into place, but slowly. This is especially true financially. Once again, I find myself in a place where I thought I was going to have some money to work with and now, due to this phone debacle, I am not sure I have enough to get me to the end of the week. I am trying not to be to attached to it. All I can do is make the most of it and take it Day by Day, Step by Step.

Which is part of this week’s Observation. I’ve noticed that The Job has tweaked my perception, but not in the direction I would like. When I was pushing to make money or find some work or book some clients I was also very strapped financially. So, I was taking everything one day at a time because I had to. This seemed to always result in things working out, naturally and on their own. With The Job, I find I have lost that perspective and am looking further down the road. Especially, financially. I have to be careful with this, because, though it is good to plan, this course can also cloud the mind and keep things from unfolding naturally.

So< i feel confident that Week 7 is on course and things will find even more balance before it is all over. And, as we begin Week 8 - The Number of Abundance, Infinity, Divinity, Fluidity, etc, I will be only 2 days away from my second pay.

I want to do another Wheel of life analysis, based on the newer things that have come into play and what I have come to understand over the past few weeks. I was thinking of doing it for this post, but I think I am just too fried at this point to get into something so heavy and deep.
