as it is - my adventure continues (part 6)

[asitis]

On S6, even with all my meditation & mindfulness, I still sometimes lose it w/ S, unfortunately. It can be really trying. I'm glad W & I are working together on this with a specialist.

We are definitely on for Thanksgiving dinner. I had to get her to sign the lease renewal (helps protect my interest in the home if we are both on the apartment lease, I figure). I said that I had thought about her Thanksgiving idea, and wanted to get the kids for a few hours Monday or Tuesday to do some decorations, and if she could bring a pie, I'd cook and have it over at the apartment. She said that sounds really nice. Maybe I can get her tipsy & convince her to stay over and give her something we can both be thankful for. I doubt we're any wear close to that, but you know that fantasy isn't going to disappear just because I know it won't happen.

My meditation has been at a much lower level in the last month or so, just because of how busy my schedule has been. I've definitely wished for more time. I did get way for a weekend intensive last month, and am leaving for another tomorrow. I hope that the week's break from classes & work will bring some rejuvenation of my practice to carry me through until Winter break. If I can get one of my papers written & catch up on the grading, the end of the semester will actually be relatively easier than the last month or so has been.
