No time today, I still have a lot to finish outside before our first frost, and also need to write a letter of testimony for a friend.
I did, however, realize last night that many times while falling asleep, I try to mentally communicate with my wife. Usually, its just the typical endearing messages and affirmations, but I noticed it because the message changed last night.
Last night, my wife fell asleep before me and was snoring the cat was snoring because my perfect wife doesn’t snore. I found myself focusing and projecting, “hotdog… hotdog…” because we would joke that she rotates like a hotdog on one of those 7-11 cookers when she sleeps. Well, it worked because she rolled over and the cat stopped snoring.
Anyhow, I need to finish up the frost prep and finish my letter…
