How do you know if the puzzle is broken from the inside?

Everything is breaking down at work today and on top of that a good number of things in my back pack got covered with drips of orange cold medicine since the cap wasn’t screwed down all the way on the bottle.

What a wonderful way to start off the week...

( More whining about my life... )

anniversary, a zero room, illness, meditation, jobs

Do you know how to ground and center?

I was never formally taught how to do that. Thanks for the link.

*sigh* In some ways I'm a truly lazy witch.

I suppose I'll try tonight if I have time after fixing the broken closet pole mount among other things.

Part of the problem is time. When I get home I just want to kind of flop somewhere and rest but I know that if I do then things won't get done. By the time I'm done doing things there are other people in the house. (This sentence sounds like more whining to my own ears.)

Huh. Funny. I used to do that stuff all the time but not any time recently. I wonder what caused me to stop doing things like meditating and grounding...

"Chores expand to fill available time". The simplest way to get past that is to formally schedule a time for meditation (or whatever) - every day for ten minutes before dinner, say. You don't have to do it for very long for it to have an effect, and once you get into a pattern of setting aside a specific time for it, it becomes a habit, like brushing your teeth.

And perhaps, in the course of the rearranging and improvements and reconstruction, you could create a small private space in the garage, or anywhere else that makes sense. (I used to occasionally have to lock myself in one of the bathrooms, especially when my son was a child...)

I want to put a small altar in the garden when I re-do it but I don't think my neighbors would understand. Likely I'll have one in the garage when I'm finished as that's my personal space and nobody else's.

As for time - you're absolutely correct. I've been meaning to hammer my schedule into place but it's been a little tough due to "unexpected" events.
