Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

I bought Christmas Cards, but haven't sent them out yet. Wondering if I should even bother at this point. I guess I could do them on the bus ride tomorrow, but then they won't make it where they are going by Christmas.

So, the plan is to go to D.C. and have dinner at a friend of a friend's house. Not really feeling that plan, but don't want to back out at the last minute. I already don't really like spending Christmas away from home, but the alternative is to stay home and spend (yet another) Christmas alone. In the past I didn't mind. I was so whipped from work I didn't want to go anywhere. This year I have been on that vitamin regime and I slept from Friday until today. I was going to catch the train, but it has black out dates. Hmmm. Interesting choice of words. I was going to drive, but it is such a hassle to bother with parking. So, I decided on Bolt Bus. I am very apprehensive as I've had some crazy bus experiences in the past. I've heard positive things about Bolt, so I have to trust it will be good. A round trip for less than $40. Cheaper than driving when you factor in gas and tolls.  Manifesting a very positive travel experience. So, that means the petsitter will...

It's Sunday afternoon. I went out last night and woke up around noon-ish. Now I am trying to figure out what I can get into for the rest of the day. I know I want to get out of the house and I'm not feeling like being indoors at all so that eliminates shopping and the movies. I also don't feel like dragging myself downtown on the subway. Maybe I will just pack a picnic and go sit out under a shady tree in the park with a book or pen and paper and write. I dragged myself out last night when an acquaintance (I still don't feel she is a friend yet and I will explain why)  mentioned she wanted to go out to a new place that opened in the neighborhood. This was maybe 10-ish at night. It was raining off and on all night, but I said what the hey and headed out once the rain had dissipated. I caught the bus because I didn't want to deal with parking. I had a feeling I might wind up cabbing it on the way back so I stopped at the bank to get cash since it was on the way. Eve...
