progressive

this has been a good day.  i am happy with the way things have been going so far.  it's early, but i can see me turning in before it gets late and likely forgetting to do this at a later time, so best to get it in now.

i got up just before the alarm and shut it off.  i was sleepy and decided i'd just focus on getting the grass cut today, so i didn't hit the gym.  i prayed, but it was unfocused.  i still did my stretches despite the decision not to go to the gym today.  good habits take time to solidify.  i read my meditations while i stretched and i got up and went to check my email to make sure nothing else had come from CreateSpace.  once Syd left i had breakfast, baked bacon and two fried eggs, and i had coffee and water and milk.  i did get another email from the book people, and this time i called the customer service number.  turned out the 'cut-off' area they were speaking about was the tombstone in the corner with my name on it.  i told them that was just the cover design and the customer service person said she'd inform the tech people.  then i got to work.

i gassed up the mower, moved my car and cut the grass.  i didn't do my back hill, and i damn sure raked no leaves but i did cut.  i got finished in just over an hour, good time.  i put things away and got going to get my oil changed.  i got that done, went to the church on Cardinal and voted, though i still feel there was nothing to really vote for.  i went to the store after that, got steak for Syd and some odds and ends that i needed.  then i came home.

i called my parent's house, but no response.  i called Rachel, but she had the water people changing her meter so she couldn't talk.  i called Lonnie much earlier and didn't want to bother him again.  i had chicken florentine and soup for lunch.  not as fancy as it sounds; the ones pre-wrapped in the freezer section that you bake as individual things.  i watched a movie called 'The Secret' and i watched '13th', on Netflix, which was really angrily good.  currently i'm fixing this steak for Syd, going to peel potatoes for mashing and do some Cali blend veggies.  don't quite know what i'm in the mood for today.  but things are moving along, and i am happy with them.  more to the point, it is the 8th of November and i still feel pretty good.  that's an improvement.  thank you, Father.
