It should be an easy-peasy day today!

Of course, we shall see as it actually unfolds.

But — I have the day off, again. 3rd day in a row.

And the sun might actually come out today! Yay.

And yesterday — some things happened for which I am grateful!!

1.) My furnace went out — just when the temperatures were dropping back down to freezing. Not so “yay”. But the repair guy got here by 3PM. And had it fixed in about 5 minutes. And it only cost me $195 — which includes maintenance for a whole year on 3 appliances (including the furnace).

I had actually been thinking lately about getting a home warranty, since all my appliances are aging, and so this was actually a relief for me. And at a price I can actually afford. (How weird is that, actually??)

2.) Since I never get any money back from my taxes anymore, I always just file at the last minute. But this year, I decided to go back to using AARP’s free tax service for Seniors, rather than just doing it all online, since I am currently paying off some back taxes. (Having a past balance due makes it sort of impossible to do online.)

Yesterday morning, I realized that today, April begins, so I called the Senior Center to schedule with AARP to do my taxes for free — and they had ONE(!!) spot left for the entire season!! And it was for this morning!! And so I got the final slot!!

I found that very cool. So whoever is looking out for me and sending me these subliminal hints — thank you!!

And, just generally, my caregiving schedule is a lot easier this month — some of the hours have changed. So my workdays should be less stressful for a little while.

All in all, I woke up this morning feeling like I could actually handle being alive, and it’s been awhile since I felt that way first thing in the morning. So, yay!!

***************

I have some work to do on the pilot script this afternoon, but not too difficult. So it really should be a nice day.

And regarding yesterday on the shooting range (see yesterday’s posts) — I wanted to say that my birth dad’s energy came through again! He was definitely there — in my head. Sometimes I could mentally “feel” him, lining up the shot. And when I felt that happening, I would suddenly hear Jimmy Cliff singing “Vietnam” in my head!! (My birth dad was a Navy SEAL and served in Vietnam throughout that entire war. ) Wow, gang. It was such an amazing feeling.

I cannot tell you the last time I heard Jimmy Cliff’s record, “Vietnam”. Probably back in the early 80s. So it’s not like it’s a song I have thought about at all.

I didn’t tell my instructor that this was happening in my head. No reason to have them think I’m completely nuts over there. However, whenever that would happen in my head — with the song, etc. — the bullseye would be unbelievably on target. To the point where the instructor would actually say, “that one was incredible”.

So. Wow.
