The Post

 So very often, time just slips away from me. One moment it is now and then in what seems like the blink of an eye it is later. Much, much later. That's how we get here. All was going well and then in a blink of an eye it was today. And now it is tonight.

I had actually intended to write last night.

That's OK. I'll do it now. I don't think I have much to say anyway. I just don't think I can let a week pass without at least a little snippet. This is a whole different trip I am on lately. The Grounding really shifted things for me.

I had a financial edge for a few weeks. I have lost that now. I knew that would eventually be the case. The money wasn't extra it was just early. All of it was claimed for something. The time just had not yet come. Now it has come and gone. Right this Moment, I am doing OK though. I have what I need. I'm covered at the moment. I have a lot to work towards for this week. I not only have to take care of business but I am trying to get some money ahead again.

I want to take Monday off for my re-birthday [which is actually on Sunday.] However, my phone bill is due on Monday. So, I need to make sure the money is there to cover that. I think I have a "worse-case scenario" plan already. Still, I am going to see how close to the Goal I can get.

I've managed to do some stocking up these past few weeks, especially in the kitchen. It's been nice to have variety and choice. It's been nice to not panic over when I am going to run out of something and more importantly when I will replace it. I'm starting to lose that edge a little bit. I need to make some serious grocery trips this week and see if I can balance it out once more [at least a little bit.]

I guess you could say that I've been stocking up on time as well.. Not that time is something you can keep. [Though we sure try.] But I have found more time on my hands lately. Sometimes it is productive. Sometimes it is just for rest. But there is time. More of it than I've had previously.

Still, no matter how much time one might have, there is only so much of it.

This is my current struggle. I still have so much I always want to do and only so much time to work with. For instance, I wanted to soak tonight [since the New Moon was yesterday...and because I'm home alone for a few days.] But, I also wanted to write. Both take a good deal of time. And time is marching on.

However, I am all but ready for my day tomorrow. A shower [which always follows a soak] is the only thing missing. So, I might still do it tonight and then go to bed. I currently have no stress for the morning.

I've been taking the days more casually of late. The addition of the third app has given me more flexibility in things. It offers more potential. Especially now that I can "dash" anytime. Previously, I had to schedule or wait for an opportunity. now I can just turn it on whenever I want.

I've been "working from home" more lately. I've been using the house as a return spot frequently. This is useful during slower times when I may only get an occasional delivery. I can at least be comfortable and possibly even productive. When it is busier, I will go to my parking lot and sit. But I very often start from home.

I never know how it is going to go. Sometimes I leave for one order and it is hours until I am back. It seems like there are no Rules of Thumb anymore. For instance, on Saturday, for dinner, I got pulled to the north through the new app. It covers a slightly different region than the other two. Normally, I don't go north unless it is an off time or a very good fare. In the past, opportunity for work in the north is limited. So, it's double the driving until I can get another order. However, the combination of all three apps has shifted that.

I ended up working almost all of dinner up in the northern region. Areas to which I would not normally travel. And all of that was from one of the two original apps. So, needless to say, I have been trying to just follow the flow of the work as best I can.

I've started looking at Mondays as days off that I can make some money. Mondays have been typically slower. The fares are lower and more infrequent. I consistently have difficulty making my daily Goal on a Monday. This is not to say that Mondays are never abundant. I have had some high end Mondays. But they are few and far between.

Today, I worked from home. I made about the same as I have made on Mondays when I've actually gone out and given it some effort. So, I can't feel upset about the money. Along the way, I got a lot of stuff done.

The vacuum needed some maintenance and repair again. I got that taken care of. I got things in general all straightened up and organized - including papers around my desk. [Which always get out of control.] I got my lists updated. [I keep lists for everything.] I took care of some random and miscellaneous things. I even got the yard mowed and most of it trimmed. [I did cut dinner short so I could do this tonight.] It's supposed to rain off and on for like 3 days. So, I wanted it done.

I even cheated in the front flowerbed. I had one bed seriously overgrown with weeds. I just have not had the time and energy to do it. The others have been done. but this one has been difficult to get to. I took em all down with the trimmer and pulled the ones I couldn't. It's not a perfect job, nor one done right. But it is done enough for the moment.

I feel good. Better than I have in a very long time. My head is clear [mostly.] I feel centered and balanced. [Mostly.] I feel very in tune with the world. I feel very grateful on a daily [several times a day] basis. I just feel...*sigh.*

A good sigh.

We are just 19 months into a 3 year plan. [I do not know the plan.] Though it doesn't always feel like it, I have actually come a long way in the last year and a half. I mean, I guess when you're starting with literally next to nothing it can seem like an eternity until you feel balanced. But I am in so much different space now than then. It's happened in increments - little bits at a time here and there.

But it has happened.

Now all I can do is see what comes next. I just need to keep focused and try to remain somewhat disciplined. Which is funny, because at the same time I need to become more relaxed and do my best to just flow with things.
