New experiences, experiments ... and challenges.
I've been home since April 27. I had a long complex agenda for what had to be done Right Now when I got home. Probably it was too ambitious, but an awful lot of it is done.
√ Got back into three local spiritual practice groups -- including the one I've been away from for several years.
√ Got seen by the dermatologist -- no new artifacts of too much sunshine, refilled prescription for dry-skin cream.
√ Conference call with my brothers to finish the next step of disposing of Mom's estate.
√ Saw my chiropractor and significantly reduced the back pain I had when I finished traveling (too many airplanes, mostly).
√ Signed up for access to the local indoor pool.
√ Started a new silk-painting project.
√ Ordered one of the four items on the boat's shopping list for next season.
√ Spend 24 hours being silent -- that is, going about my normal day but not speaking. (It was great, illuminating, liberating ... and hard).
√ Participated in service work.
√ Replaced the awful mattress.
√ Coordinated my calendar with Beloved Husband's for the summer.
√ Found the loom I want to buy ... and arranged it ... and started planning to take a truck into New York to pick it up (squeee!).
Still to do:
* Get the car in for its routine service, only 5000 miles overdue.
* Get back in touch with the young farmer who thinks she wants to plant something in our field -- which will need to be done this month.
* Schedule a massage.
* Order the rest of the boat stuff.
* Actually go swimming.
* Plan the classes I'm teaching at the end of June.
• Plan the handfasting I'm doing in July.
* Pay the appraiser for my section of Mom's property.
* Pay the property taxes on our house.
