Lumping the weekend together again, I may just start doing this since I work kinda long on Saturdays and if I don’t have much going on I may not have much to write about, good thing I am my own reader.
3/7: Saturday I worked at Element for Jesse from 9am-7pm, it wasn’t THAT busy which was good because I was a little nervous the night before. All in all, it was a great day. True to form, my biometrics showed me present and accounted for up in the top tier of physiological stress. I am not sure what I was doing during that dip down (probably folding towels, my favorite thing to do!) but yeah, this all tracks and I am fine with it. I did wake up to “Major Signs” which is something the Oura Ring shares when resting heart rate, respiration rate and body (skin) temperature are elevated overnight to a degree that the ring is alerting the wearer that you may be coming down with something. I did end up with Covid one time I had that so I am always super mindful when I see it. In this case, I was nervous because I was on the train x2, the flower show, and the big market with so many people. But in the end, I got it all back on track on Sunday.
3/8: On Saturday night I got a text from my neighbor that let us know if we wanted to go down to her dad’s and keep Gracie company we were more than welcome to. Well Sunday morning we did – between 3 of us neighbors I think we can keep her from being lonely while her man is getting better. Mike and I walked in, called her name, saw her sleeping on some blankets and then we sat down. She did a meow and walked right over to my chair for so much love, cuddles, rubs and my most favorite thing that she does – lay right on my chest with her head just under my chin. I tried to get lots of photos and videos to send to the girls, this one is me so happy she came right to me. I told Mike that when he was overseas for his two posts (1 year each) that Gracie truly was my emotional support animal, she was communicative and gave me just the right amount of physical contact. In bed she would lay right up against me and when I was sitting in a chair, she was like a weighted blanket on my chest. Something about that feeling is so comforting, like a baby sleeping on me. Iris is not at all like that! Linking to a blog post that has Gracie’s origin story with us here. She is around 15 years old and still plays with her toys like a kitten, drinks her water off of her paw dipped in a bowl and licks you first before she rubs her chin on a part of your body. I love her so much, I love what an excellent companion she is to George and wish I could take her to the hospital so he can feel her love on him. She went into his bedroom to drink and did a big meow/growl/call, I think she wanted to wake George up, sweet girl.
Despite what my ring said, Saturday and Sunday were my peaceful days. I really focused on trying to just chill, my ring said I had 10 hours of inactivity LOL okay. Be peaceful and kind, bye for now!
