Return of Hot

I woke up this morning to a warm, windy day. That means the Santa Anas winds have kicked up. They were already up last night and I must say it actually lulled me to sleep hearing the rustle of the trees right outside my living room window. And today right with the wind came the heat. It was already almost 80 degrees by the time I woke up which meant it would get significantly hotter later on. And I didn't mind. It is June already after all. I'm not going to miss it if we bypass the usual June gloom and get right on to summer although it isn't actually summer just yet. But with everything going on I welcome my favorite season of the year although I really was looking forward to heading to Maui this summer <sigh>. As soon as they open to tourism I am gone... But not just yet. Today being Monday and all, I took a shower, brushed my teeth at least made an effort to return to work normalcy. My face is still bothering me obviously and today I actually shot a message to my GoForward care team. The response wasn't anything I did not expect. Obviously they had to rule out that I had a stroke, that I had coronavirus. And then eventually I agreed to come in for an in-person visit on Friday. If anything that was merely to placate Lisa if you ask me. I AM disappointed that it seemed to have gotten worse this weekend and I don't actually rule out that I am still very much in anxiety mode. That my resting heart rate went up a point when it had been on a downward trend back to the 60s was enough evidence of that. For this morning I just wanted to make sure I wasn't too self-conscious when doing the Business Continuity Meeting at 10:30.  I was also pinged about having the laptop and cellphone inventory all done. Yikes... I thought I had more than a couple of days to do that. Until I remembered Eloisa wanted to do stipends in this pay period. Which is why it had to be done today. Immediately I pivoted to my team to make sure all that info is in Paycom. I got that ping while I was walking to Ralphs too. Right before lunch. Hey I wanted to get as many steps in before it REALLY got hot in the middle of the afternoon didn't I?

As far as the rest of the work day, it was pretty uneventful other than the aforementioned inventory that became the urgent Item of the Day. I anchored on my INTENTION that I wanted to experience perfect health and healing in my face and I wanted my Higher Self to lead me to whatever I continued to need to clean and clear in order to do that.  In the middle of the afternoon I could already tell it was already going to be way too hot to do some walking. And so what did I do? Go back to doing indoor aerobics exercises. I get a kick that I'm right back to the stuff I was doing in the 80s. The funny thing was that doing that actually burned up steps seemingly much faster than when I simply walked. As in I was already at 6000 steps before I blinked. Before 5 PM! And by then it was already time to pick up Johnnie. I was actually in the middle of the inventory when Lisa called letting me know they had gotten home. I picked up Johnnie around 5:15 and saw that Courtney was watering Lisa's plants. Of course that would be why I never heard from Lisa yesterday. She was otherwise occupied. As I saw Lisa outside she mentioned that she can now tell that my face is drooping some. Great Lisa. Tell a guy already superconscious about his face about something he doesn't want to keep hearing. Sigh. But just as soon as I picked up Johnnie I felt like normal again. We went through McDonald's drive-thru to get him some chicken Mcnuggets for dinner and then it was like a continuation of playtime for him. He wanted to play the flute. So I made him one out of simply 2 pieces of paper. This kid is so easy! Look at the pic of him playing the "flute". And then we did his sundial exercise. Before finally putting on Pete-the-cat for an hour or two. A return of watching the Three Bite Rule! I did get around to doing more work before finally giving Johnnie his shower. I needed an early night too. Too little sleep in the past few days including pretty much all weekend. And even when Johnnie fell asleep, I went to my computer and did some binaural beats on Bells Palsy healing. WHILE I continued to ice the right side of my face in the hopes of making the inflammation subside. I bought some face exercisers on Amazon too. Much more resources to deal with this thing than 17 years ago. Hopefully I get back to 100%. I finally fell asleep around 11 PM. And fell asleep to Johnnie softly snoring beside me. Ahhh... back to normal.
