Coffee Thoughts: June 20, 2008

The days off have rolled around again and I couldn’t be happier.  Put in ten and a half hours yesterday, closing out the week with a total of 47.46 hours on the clock, not counting driving time. Fortunately, next week’s schedule is much lighter. My body aches from the constant strain of keeping a fast pace on hard floors with heavy trays… and sleeping on the sofa doesn’t help. I wake each day feeling like I haven’t rested at all.  Not having a bath tub is also a drag, ’cause a good, hot soak would do me good right about now.  That’s one of the things I’m looking forward to in moving – and yes, in spite of the loan hang ups, I refuse to give up hope… we ARE moving.  I haven’t had a bath tub or a bed for four years, and damn it, I’m ready!

Although hard, work was one of the better days yesterday, at least financially speaking.  I didn’t make enough to take care of all my stresses, but with the day being as lucrative as it was, coupled with a lil’ help from Mom, at least I’m able to keep the cell phones connected and get a few groceries for the week.

Have a quick errand to run before I can indulge in The Daily Dose.  I say quick, but it isn’t really – 40 minutes each way to the bank and back.  Then I can relax a little, have a little more coffee, sink into a Daily Dose, and get a few things done before taking Stinkerbelle to her therapy appointment at 3, then do a little bit of grocery shopping.

Rhythm called last night to check in.  He’s in California, now.  The car show he went there for with his grandparents starts today, and then Monday they’ll drive back to Vegas. He spoke of how much he enjoyed his first night there with his brother.  Said he kept hugging him and had to fight back tears.  Told me how good his brother looks, and how excited Atlas is over having just purchased his first house.  I couldn’t be more proud.  Rhythm isn’t much of a phone person, but he stayed on the phone with me as long as he could sense my need, telling me he loved me and missed me.  It’s gonna be a long three weeks.  He comes home July 8th.

Checked my astrological calendar this morning and got a lil’ surprise.  I was 100% certain that Litha, Midsummer, the Summer Solstice was tomorrow, June 21st… but according to my planner, it’s today! This is my favorite magickal holiday… the day when the veil is thinnest between this realm and the faerie realm. I’m hoping I have time later to write about it at length.

That being said, I’m off to the bank so I can get back home and settle in.

Life is good.
