Went over to Sara&#8217;s this morning and had a wonderful time, and didn&#8217;t have a single thought about Sammy until I got home early this afternoon. But somewhere between lying in bed this morning with the Committee and getting home, something inside had changed.<\/p>\n<p>I had somewhere without realising it found the motivation to begin to crawl up the hill again. So this afternoon I rang couple of Sammy&#8217;s friends, chatted and asked some hard questions. Then I rang work and took another day off. After that I wrote Sammy one of those letters you don&#8217;t really mean to send, but says what it has to say, while tears poured from my eyes, nearly drowning the keyboard. I put in 40 mins on the exercise bike and threw myself in the shower. Then I did a Rune Spread and after that walked halfway up my block with a chair, and sat down in the middle of the block and just did a breathe meditation with my eyes closed for 5 mins.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been solid since then, and feel more like my old self. I&#8217;m still wounded, but I believe I&#8217;ve started to heal. I hope by taking an extra day off that I&#8217;ll have a fairly normal attitude to most things back at work and won&#8217;t be &#8220;off with the pixies&#8221; 99% of the time when I get back.<\/p>\n<p>Now all I have left will be the Service in a few days, but I think I&#8217;ll be as ready for that as I can ever be now. I think I may have realigned to the Cosmos again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took today off work to help get my shit together.
