20190219 – Tuesday – Back to the Bizy Bee

There is something I have noticed about myself quite a lot.

I hate getting up in the morning.

Why?

Well, I get annoyed at how slow I am to do everything as I have got older.

I have always been a quick person, doing ten things all at once, and so I get frustrated about how long things taker me to do now that I am older.

But I decided I would “be in them moment” when I do things, and think about everything I have to do as I do it, and NOT fret about how long it is taking me to do.

I start with getting up. 

Thinking about each thing that needs to be done and doing the job PROPERLY.

So showering is the first task which usually irritates me.

So I do every task involved in a shower and think of each task, the shampoo the conditioner.

Then brushing my teeth, moisturising, getting rid of the hairs on my chin which insist on growing these days.

One day when I can satisfy myself that I can afford it, I will go and get electrolosis for this again.

But this costs about $100 a time, so it will have to wait for a while.

Then back to my room and make my things orderly upon the second bed in the room.

Then breakfast.

Ha, but I cut corners here today. 

Even though there was plenty of food int the fridge I decided I would walk to the Bizy Bee and have a breakfast cooked for me by someone else.

It is a beautiful sunny day, here in Tassie, and the air is liquid gold.

I feel so good walking along (though my knees hurt, but I am used to blocking out that pain).

I feel thin, thinner than yesterday and this is the most wonderful feeling for me, because for so many years I have felt FAT, but these days there is the knowledge that I am thinner today than I was yesterday.

Well, by the time I got to Bizy Bee I was almost euphoric.

And this is what I have found happens by being “in the moment.”

Everything DONE RIGHT, makes me feel good, and so by doing each thing right, my mood of happiness and enjoyment grows.

Then the breakfast.

The way I order is not to go to the menu, but to just give instructions to the woman serving me.

I say, 2 soft poached eggs, bacon slightly crispy, avocado, tomato, mushrooms, spinach wilted and a mug of flat white, very hot.

And then I go and sit down in a sunny spot and get out my ipad and my iPhone.

Marg from Sydney rang me, and persuaded me to buy Rose Hip powder for Canines from a special that is going on facebook which is 500 g for $49.99. 

She tells me it will fix the arthritis in my legs but tells me to buy it in powder form for dogs, because it is the same stuff anyway and is much cheaper than the more expensive pills for humans.

Well, what the heck, it is pay day, and it just MIGHT work and she is my friend.

So I bought them.

But the energy man from Victoria who rang me next, when I heard his pitch I just hung up in his ear.

I had some more phone calls from friends, read all my emails, sent off some study notes to George who had asked for them. J D’s studies on Visions of the kingdom and NC’s studies on Revelation, Ecclesiastes, Moses, etc.

And then I ate my breakfast which was just as I had wanted it.

Then some work on my iPad until my battery ran out and then home and time for a nap.

I lay there listening to chapter 9 of my book until I felt really tired and finally fell asleep.

I woke at 5.00 pm and then began to write up this diary, which I will finish, hopefully before Selena gets home.

And that was my day, and because I had done everything RIGHT, I have a feeling of well being and happiness at the end of my day.

It is the day of small things and I am learning not to fret about the slowness of things. 

The key is to be “in the moment” and not fret about the frailness of human kind.

And then when Selena comes home, she will cook dinner and I will do the dishes. 

Then we will watch TV for a while and de-brief each other about our respective days.
