  • The Universe Knocks

    My mother-in-law was hospitalized in Phoenix, hubby brought her home to Edmonton & she is now in the psych ward at one of the local hospitals.  Don't know what is next for her.  Will they send her home to us?  Will they put her in residential care?  Don't know.

    We are in the middle of a basement remodel.  The HVAC is done, but a lot is left to do:

    • Electrical- rerouting some messes, uncovering hidden junction boxes, installing new lighting everywhere, adding cable, phone and internet everywhere.
    • Windows- The basement windows were replaced by a mentally deficient monkey who didn't insulate, caulk or install exterior flashing.  I don't know if we are going to just redo the current ones or try to get new ones.
    • Framing and insulating- 1 bedroom has 2 foundation walls & 2 regular walls.  We are building closets for both downstairs bedrooms and framing in 4 doorways.
    • Wallboarding 1 bedroom and wallboarding all the basement ceilings and then painting of course.

    My foster folks are coming to visit the last week July. Will I have a place for them to stay or will they be camping in a tent in the yard?

    Next week I have 2 more days running my home daycare and then I'm closing up shop.  My kids really need the mommy attention, especially the 5 year old who will be going into kindergarten this fall.
    Their adoption isn't final yet and so I can't get passports to travel to my 20 year high school reunion in July (and I can't leave them as even sharing Mommy with Grandma has been a disruption/attachment issue lately.)  I feel overwhelmed by everything at the moment.  My husband is hiding behind work and personal projects like the Leliana Item set for Dragon Age.     I feel like a puddle of goo.

    I asked the I Ching Oracle:
    What should I do?

    (present) 52. Ken - Stillness
    It is a time of planning and looking inward. Don't move into new things, but focus on clearing out the clutter that may be blocking your sense of serenity.

    (future) 15. Chien - Humility, Modesty
    Keep your goals realistic; attempting too much at once will cause failure. The Universe helps the modest prosper, but brings down the arrogant.

    What does the Oracle hold for you?

  • That oracle, i think it gives good advice. I don't know how you'll avoid starting anything new though with all this newness impending on you. You seem to handle everything that is thrown at you with such determination and grace, really. Try not to stress.  you guys got this. =)
