Daily Post #16

So, ‘A Day in the Life,’ huh?

Well, my day started like every other - in the back seat of The MattMobile, somewhere in a parking lot.

I had a lot on my mind this morning. There are financial concerns. I had stuff to do over at The College, with the help of Hoagie. And, I had to make my way to Geistopia to see Cuddlebug. [Of course, I would see Sunshine as well.]

The finances weighed on my mind, but not too terribly. After all, what could I do at this point? What I had tried to do was all for naught. So, all that was left to do was set off into my day and deal with it all when the time comes. 

I stopped for my morning coffee and to relieve myself. I also grabbed a sandwich and drink for breakfast. I was feeling hungry. When I got back into the MattMobile to go to The College it wouldn’t start. I’ve been having issues with it and everytime I go to start it I am afraid that it won’t turn over. I thought today was the day. I had a small breakdown. I begged and I pleaded with Divinity. I mean, if it had to stop working then, at least, stop working at The College where I can at least be comfortable while I wait for the tow truck. And, where I could, at least, unload some of my important things from it.

Eventually, it would start. 

I made my way to The College and settled in. I arrived early to allow myself some time to enjoy my coffee, eat my breakfast, and settle the mind. I did all of that. I even managed a Devotion. 

Eventually, Hoagie would arrive and the work could begin. Soon after he arrived, I received a text from my District Manager asking if I could work. It was a 9:30 to 2:00 shift. I was willing to go in, but I had this stuff to finish first [plus, my conversation with Cuddlebug and WTML stuff.] I told her I certainly couldn’t get there by 9:30. Maybe 10:30. She offered to find someone else. I told her that was perfect and if I needed to come in that I would. She did find someone else. Which was good, because it turns out that I didn’t finish up what I needed to do until a little after 11:00. 

I headed off to Geistopia and my dealings with Cuddlebug. It’s sort of a time sensitive issue and today allowed us to get ourselves grounded and focused. 

After the talk, The Princesses would take turns entertaining Little Hoagie while The Putter, Hoagie, and myself partook in a Safety Meeting. Eventually, FaeriePrincess would arrive and so would The Warden. 

The Warden would bring up WTML and the videos. I think she sits on the fence about them. She watches them, but, like so many others, she is not sure what to make of them. Nonetheless, this spawned some interesting conversation and led to today’s video. 

While we were there, Sunshine had offered to buy Mini-B something from Starbucks [once they figured out which adult would take them.] It would turn out that Sunshine didn’t have as much as she thought she did. I went and got my card and gave it to her. I was going to have her just buy the stuff and keep her $5. 

FaeriePrincess would end up telling Mini-B to take the $20 from her purse and to buy herself and Sunshine something. I thanked her for it. 

This, to me, is an example of one of my Blessings of Compensation that I mentioned in today’s video. Sunshine wanted to do something nice and share her abundance with a friend and I appreciated that. When she realized that she couldn’t, I wanted to set it right for her. I would have let her put it on my card and just suffered the financial consequences later. FaeriePrincess allowed for it all to be set right and I didn’t need to put myself out anymore than I already have this week so far. That’s a blessing to me.  

It’s as much of a blessing as the cans the Professor brought me, or the metal that Thing #1 managed, or the change I have collected, or the coupons for fast food, or the gig on Tuesday. 

So, I left The Putter’s and headed for one of my favorite parking spots. I grabbed a ‘Happy Hour Coffee’ [84 cents,] and settled in to work on the video. It took awhile to clear my head enough and get what I wanted down on paper but then it was off and running. 

I liked today’s video. Especially the elephants. 

Then I chilled a bit more and tried to take care of a few other little pieces of business. 

Now, I am sitting in a fast food joint, typing up today’s post and thinking about how and when I am going to start the weekly post. I am really trying to stay Committed to the process. I do not exactly understand it all. 

I know that WTML is important. I do not know how, nor why. 

I know it must happen in both written form and video. 

I know that I must do Daily Check-ins as much as possible, as well as keep up with the more weekly overall posts. Those viewpoints are always very different, and I like the way they put the story together. 

So, from here, I will check my schedule for tomorrow at the Seasonal Store. Then I must park and organize for the evening as we as what I need for tomorrow - clothes, etc. 

Then, after it gets dark, I can go and park for the night. 

And then...tomorrow it begins all over again.
