September 21, 2023 ~ Ugh! Lost What I Wrote!

Ugh! I started a blog post 5 min ago trying to get it in before 9am and lost all I wrote - Wix said I needed to log in. I guess I changed my password on my phone or something recently? When I get really busy.. like I have been lately... I end up having to change passwords a lot. Anyway...

It's been a pretty great morning. I let myself wake up without an alarm because pool kept me out a little late. Up a little before 7am. Meds/vitamins... dogs... dishes... broomed the entire house. My friend is going to fix my vacuum when the new belt I had to order comes in. Finally found a replacement for my morning routine of mem exercises... a new app. A lead on facebook took me to it. I listened to motivational speeches for an hour while doing the housework and showering. Hair's almost done. Almost ready to head out for the day.

Have a 10am appt for MMM rescheduled from yesterday to think on. Yes! A new client. May be able to earn the entire expense of next month's baby shower if I do it right.

Starting regular job a little later today because I'll be working late. There's a networking event I need to attend which runs from 4:30pm - 7:00pm. I'll start my day job after my 10am appt.

Getting ready for company for a few days. Gabby's dropping their 140-lb dog off here for a few days while they travel to Connecticut for a wedding. This should be interesting! We're going to have rain on Sat so things are going to get messy around here!

Need some groceries... to do some laundry.. to prep for meeting with an accountant next week. This weekend should be busy at home.

Tonight, I may be going for a ride on a motorcycle long overdue. I hope the boy is available this time.

I'm pretty excited about the way I wrote yesterday evening. The main goal of this blog is to prep me to write a book. Journaling is great, but I can do that privately. Putting things out there in this way is a different story. I think what I wrote was good, with the exception of the fact that I tip-toed into the idea of gossiping over an old friend. I probably won't choose to do that. There's a way that I can get my point across without gossiping. I am still super happy about my revelation, that I wasn't the only one not innocent in a conversation last weekend. Did that make any sense?

Another thing I realized... I would almost do it all again. I really liked that man last year. I'd do almost anything to find another man that interested me as much. He was intelligent, confident, strong. A little pompous, which maybe I could do without. But he had a lot of other qualities too. He could sing. He had friends. He was handsome...

Before I go... one more thing. One of the speeches I listened to this morning hit home. I've been wanting to write a book as far back as I can remember. The subject keeps involving my mental health challenges but narrowing it down a bit is required. This morning's message: If you were on your deathbed and you had a visitor and a book about yourself.. If you asked the visitor to read the book and it didn't change his/her life... what would you want to do? REWRITE THE BOOK. I'm paraphrasing of course, because I'm in a hurry. Anyway... Yes! I want to write a book that will change someone's life. I feel inspired. How can I do this?

I need to speak to my son again about what he has learned most from me. I asked him once and his response was good, but I can't remember exactly what it was. It had to do with not judging others because we all have our own experiences and perspectives. More on this after I speak to him.

Have an AMAZING day!! Gotta fix my mop! (hair)
