“Normal” and other weird thoughts

Good morning Open Diary world.  I slept well last night, I think.  And I don’t have a lot of anxiety going on.  Feeling something like what I might be able to call “normal”.  I’m going with it.  Just for today.

David and Dez are in Santa Cruz, hanging with family.  Dez is glad she is there.  She tried an edible for her migraines and decided she’d rather feel the pain.  She didn’t like what it did to her brain.  Her choice, and I support it. I’m glad she tried it.

Yesterday David used his sister’s Green Egg smoker and smoked a pork butt to make pulled pork sandwiches for lunch.  His cousin came for dinner along with his children.  His brother was there. His aunt and uncle, as well as his mom.  They all had a good time.

JP is sick.  He went to get checked for both Covid and flu and is waiting for his results.  One of his roommates is also sick. She tested negative for Covid but positive for flu.  He was supposed to stay with me a few days, but that got messed up by getting called into work and then getting sick.

Mr. Personality is home from the hospital now. He has to stay off of his leg for 2 weeks.  He is slowly recovering from Covid. I assume he was tested at the hospital, but don’t know that for certain anymore.

Percival is sitting next to me in a chair while I type.  Jane has been in, looked at her food bowl and then went out again.  I have a feeling there are rodents to be hunted and eaten.  Nature sometimes breaks my heart.

I was reading the news and came across the obituary for an author who just died. One of his books was written about New Orleans.  So I bought a copy and am reading it.

Still reading The Universal Christ.  I’m going through it rather slowly…..which reminds me that I had the funniest dream yesterday afternoon while napping.  I dreamed that different people in my life were arguing with me about religion. Not in a bad way, in a benevolent way, but for some reason each of them would not stop talking long enough for me to talk.  So I would get up and leave the room.  Each time I left, someone else would follow me and continue. These were all people from my Cursillo group many moons ago.  Anyway, I woke up and realized that Richard Rohr, author of Universal Christ was speaking on YouTube, and had invaded my dreams. :). I started to laugh.

So, that’s it for now, Open Diary friends. See you later, maybe.  Hope all is well in your world.  Mine feels pretty “normal” at the moment, and I am basking in the feeling.
