Hi friends!<\/p>\n

Did you know Tuesday is ruled by the planet Mars? (the French word for Tuesday is MARdi) Yes! It’s always a high energy day for me, so I decided to strike while the iron was hot and tackle all those pesky little pot holes of junk around my house. The ones I had been putting off for months and years!! No excuse now! I’m grounded! Ha Ha Ha and still managing to stay reasonably sane.<\/p>\n

I accomplished so much today that for a moment it felt like a normal day again! Nothing has felt ‘normal’<\/em> for weeks now, so the secret my friends is to Work, Work,<\/strong> Work!!<\/strong> Keep yourself busy. It just goes to show if your mind is not fully occupied, it can be pretty destructive! Hence the importance of jigsaws, colouring books, reading material, writing, crosswords, patchwork quilting, word searches — you name it! Anything to keep your mind occupied! Unless you are a Zen-like highly evolved Goddess, which I am not!!<\/p>\n

All that pent-up energy got released as the sluice gates of my life re-opened for business. Floors all over the house got washed, dust disappeared, rugs were vaccumed, sinks were cleaned, shirts got ironed, prayers got prayed, food got cooked, my medicine drawer got sorted out. I had to discard years of expired products. Embarrassing how old some of them were!! What was I doing these past few years? Does it take a disaster like Covid 19 to make me clean out my medicine drawer? Apparently yes.<\/p>\n

By day’s end I was both exhausted and exhilirated. I had earned my lavender epsom salts bath and sank into it with gusto. Nothing like a hard day’s work to end the evening on a high! If you’re currently suffering from a bout of cabin fever, now you know what to do lol! Get that mop out and dance around the floor with it!<\/p>\n

Hugs Galore from my home to yours!
