Theme – Just Be You and Love You

I was already having thoughts and then The Mayor and I had a conversation. She gets me. She's only really known me for like a year but she gets me. I'm different. I'm walking a very individual path. My experience is different. For years, I stressed and worried over what people thought of me and my life. People who knew me much longer. I tried to prove myself, defend myself, explain myself. All the while I was creating turmoil and darkness in my life. And the funny part is that when I did attain the life they judged me for not having - not a one of them congratulated me or expressed happiness for me. When I had my stroke , not one of them visited nor reached out. So, basically, I wasted time and damaged myself and my life trying to gain acceptance from people who, in the end, demonstrated they weren't important in the first place.

Lesson – Be Careful What You "Wish" For

Last week, I had a rough time for a while and prayed at bedtime for it to be my last day. I just wanted to die and be done. The next day, I got a text from The Theatre to come play a dead guy again. [I had other examples but they're gone now.]

Observation – If you Don't Receive What you Asked...Maybe You Mussed It Up

I told the story in a video this week [Daily Dose - 09/01/2026.] But, I will sum it all up here. I was facing a negative amount in my bank today. I decided to let it roll and not stress it since I couldn't really fix it. Still, I was hopeful for a positive resolution. Yesterday, Mayor asked me about a new appointment. I was distracted and chaotic at the time and told her we'd talk about it today. Long and short - if I had taken care of the matter right then, I could have resolved my situation. Hmmm.

The Post

 Okay. Let's see if I can turn this day around somehow. It really hasn't been at all what I intended. I've had a lot of those days recently. I don't know what's happening. So, I certainly don't know how I feel about it all.

For just over 2 months it has been this way. I have been very off. I set out to follow a plan and it falls apart. I've been scattered and worn. I've gotten by and I've been surviving but I still have a 2 month road ahead of me. I don't know how I'm going to do it. Especially after how today went.

I got up ready to face my day. It was going as planned. I did all my morning stuff - finances, emails, stretches, breakfast. I even got a shower in. I dropped off my checks for electric and the mechanic. All was going perfectly according to plan.

When I was finished at the mechanic, it was just about 0900. I figured I would take my usual rest and then start my day. It all seemed routine and normal. But I did not feel right after the rest.

I've noticed for some time now that it has been shifting. The rests seem to be deeper and I've been very disoriented. VERY. It's taken me up to an hour to fully recover. Today was like that. On top of that I was feeling very weak. It was hard to raise my hand to grab the steering wheel. My ankle was throbbing and walking was difficult.

I tried to work but could not last. I think I was out an hour. I just couldn't do more. I didn't feel safe on the road - between the weakness and the foggy head. I came back to The Chalet. I was asleep in moments. Right here in my desk chair.

I'm still struggling through my day. I still don't feel quite right. I'm not sure what's going on...and I'm not yet certain if I should be concerned. I have an appointment with my physiatrist tomorrow. So, I'll ask questions. Just in case.

It's just all very odd. Like right now my third eye is like on fire. I am awake and aware but still foggy headed. Not weak but not energetic. I just don't know.

My gut has been weird recently as well. I can't say that I'm sick or something is wrong. It just goes through...moments off and on for the past few weeks.

I've also noticed that I have been on edge and irritable...often.

I could attribute it to a number of things, I suppose.

I had a good long solid run. I did. From last August until June it was just a stream of do and go - The Move-Out, adjusting, The Theatre and The Seasonal Store, The Salem-Boston Trip, Oral surgery and recovery, Yule, Getting Back on Track, Building Up, a bustle of activity for months, this recent stream of excursions.

Maybe I just burnt out.

My diet sucks. I don't really drink water. I should quit smoking.

That's the practical, the mundane, the "realistic."

But when do I ever look at it all only like that?

My first thought is yesterday. I did a big purge of The Chalet yesterday. A whole lot of life had backed and piled up in here and it was heavy. Could I feel that sort of thing the way I felt today?

Absolutely.

Then I start looking for other random [possible] factors. If I wanted to do it right, I would look back at videos to see exactly when certain things happened and the progression of energies and events.

For example - the night my leg had its convulsions.

I see on the calendar that yesterday had a lot of astrological stuff going on and my understanding is that we just came through a lot of stuff.

Then I think about the demon. [not mine.] I did go looking for it one night. Maybe I found it. If nothing else this would explain my irritability.

IDK. We'll see how things balance out after tomorrow.

I have a full schedule ahead with The Seasonal Store and The Theatre. In a way I am glad of that because it means I don't have to "know" anything right this minute. I just need to survive for 2 months.

Then I am in The Void for 3.
