So, shit has become more chaotic in the last 48 hours or so.

Maybe even the last week.

Most likely I am not staying at this job. That’s fine, they can have it with their wonky ass schedule. No wonder everyone leaves that flaming hot mess.

I had mentioned briefly in a previous post about a family member who has cancer.

I don’t like to say much because, well, I just don’t but – it’s bladder cancer, he’s elderly and he’s dying.

So things are most difficult right now.

As the process of death and dying usually is for most.

Anyway, what’s the prompt asking today?

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Great! A similar question to ones from previous (recent) past, haha – why am I not surprised?

I will answer in my way, which is usually not always direct and may contain some ramblings.

I suppose the thing I wish I could do more of right now is travel.

On Royal Street

I feel like the prompt is leaning more towards “everyday type things,” and I’ll get to that in a bit.

But due to all the recent stress and any other problems that present in the coming days which promise to be trying (to say the least) …an escape is exactly what I need.

I do have a habit of falling off the face of the Earth, or people not hearing from me as much when I need a break from life- so don’t be surprised if that happens.

I need to preserve my sanity (or what’s left of it).

I have ideas rolling around in my head.

I’m so royal with my camo crocs 😂

But for something I wish I could do more of on a daily basis?

Write.

If I could sit there and write, without all the cares and responsibilities I have to deal with at the current moment, that would be a blessing.

It would mean everything is ok.

Also, stargazing.

May Bailey’s Place, a haunted bar which used to be a brothel – taken from the pool by yours truly 😆

It sounds weird but being in a dark place in the quiet of the night, with only the moon and stars to keep you company while you soak it in is something I’m really craving.

Soaking in my hot tub would also be really nice.

Just sitting there and feeling the hot water penetrate and heal me.

There are so many things I would love to do more of- it’s just a matter of having the time.

To take a pause, take a breath, and appreciate.

And being free to do said things.

Happy Thursday to you all.

    • The dark and the water does sound so especially nice at the moment. So does that breezy hike like you mentioned on your post! 😊
      Thank you for the comfort, it is most needed right now. ❤️ I’m hoping things can balance out soon.

  3. Well, when we win the lottery, we’ll take you to Hawai’i with us. 😀

    Hang in there, you’ve got this. Personally, I think the job situation is the universe telling you that you can do better and deserve better. 😉
