Other People's Tulips

Other people's tulips are blooming.

Had to remind myself that I put the bulbs in the ground a bit late. There are at least three flowering stems so maybe I can develop a green thumb after all. 

Went over to my aunt's for dinner yesterday and a doctor that she used to work with called and told her that another one of their colleagues had died. My aunt kept saying, "Aw, man." She had passed by the woman's house a few days ago and it had been on my aunt's mind to call her. My aunt said that she should have followed her instincts.

Following my instincts is a lesson that I must learn over and over again. I was helping my mother clean her room and came across a baby picture of one of my nephews and I was going to text it to him and then changed my mind. A couple of days later, he texted me to ask if I'd send some baby pictures of him because his wife wanted to make a collage...

Talked to a customer at work and told him that we'd have to arrange a time to meet at the front door because we have a maximum number of days that we are able to be in the office and the customer said that he had yet to return to the office and, from talking to others, very few want "normal" again. 

Before my aunt got news about her colleague, she did make me chuckle. Said that she had been wearing COVID clothes so much that she was barely able to fit into her church clothes.

Awakening

The calm before...

Feel like I'm more in tune these days  as far as picking up on people's vibes and I'm also better about following my instincts.

Is it because I'm doing more yoga? More reading? The sunshine?

Decided to go to restorative yoga after work since there was no climbing scheduled. Also had my eyes on the pool.

Yoga was yummy and then the tornado siren came on. Thought I heard it then this woman told the teacher that she needed to go because her kids were at home alone. Class also ended early. Raced home and exited my car right before the downpour started.

We elected not to stay at the studio because it only has one level and the wind was shaking the windows so that the we thought it was hailing at one point. There was no indication on the weather app that bad weather was on the horizon. Otherwise, I would have headed home.

Since the weather hemmed me in, I siphoned debris out of the fish tank then finished reading my second yoga book. When I told the 'Fugee that I had planned on coming to the pool, she responded hahahaha...

Also, this weather makes it feel like Friday. Gonna be in for a rude awakening in the morning.
