Clean-up Friday

Today's version of breathe-out Friday started out like most, you know up at 6 AM to get a tee time for next next Sunday and generate a day pass for Johnnie to send to Lisa. While I was up anyway, I checked on the stock market just to keep my attention on trading. But as I go through some YouTube videos on trading I end up seeing some other metaphysical videos as well. But with all the things dueling for my attention, what won out this morning was a continuation of what I had started last night, which was clean my kitchen. Yep, I wanted to clean my apartment, since I hadn't done so in a couple of weeks at least. With the kitchen being clean I wasn't going to make breakfast already anyway, so instead I made a pitstop to Lisa's to drop off Fuzzy and then did the McDonald's drive-thru to get a double sausage and egg McMuffin. Oh and my hot tea of course. But after that, I focused on cleaning the bathroom, and then the bedroom. I went backwards. I usually started in the living room. But I wasn't thinking very linearly today. As for work stuff, there wasn't much. Hey, it's Friday and everything seemed to be under control anyway. Besides I answered all posts and chats and pings which signaled to everyone that needed my attention that I was around. Hey it's the week after Tech Council. It isn't supposed to be busy. By lunchtime, the momentary haze had melted away and it was back to being a warm day again. I walked to El Pollo Loco and got me a chicken tostada salad for lunch. I still wasn't going to cook anything, not on my stove anyway, not after I cleaned it. It's going to remain clean for at least a couple of days. Anyway I got the apartment all clean before 5 PM. AND I had gotten most of my steps done for the day done already. Funny how your heart rate can go up just by cleaning and wiping your floor on your hands and knees. I thought that was an old wives tale LOL. And when I got done I got back to the metaphysical videos. Funny that today the focus seemed to be on the videos that talked about the Bible. No, not in the way you might think. They weren't Bible study videos. It was the reverse actually. They were videos that focused on how the Bible stories were allegories, never meant to be taken literally. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU. I heard that particular phrase over and over. And the videos talked to how that meant that YOUR POWER IS WITHIN YOU. And that you and ONLY YOU control your reality. But you must work on your awareness pretty much 100% of the time. I know this to be true from my own experience. And I also know even though mostly from an intuitive point that when it is said that we only use 10% of our brains, that IS true since most of our thoughts are repetitive. And it takes a great deal of focus and energy to unlock the other 90% by working on what you focus your thoughts on. And it's always about asking questions of yourself. The right questions. I mull all this over as I conclude my Friday by taking a dip in the hot jacuzzi. I hadn't done this in a while. I had almost forgotten how relaxing it was. How it could help me with clearing my head and clarifying my thoughts. In any case it was, at the very least, the play-of-the-day. Even better than getting my apartment cleaned. The other play of the day was dinner. I decided I was going to get ramen tonight. But i did not want to go to Sawtelle which is what I did the last time i had a hankering for ramen. Instead I went to an old standby-- RamenYa which is now on Gateway, right next to Oops. It's scooter distance from my apartment, but i drove instead. And I enjoyed a very nice chasu pork ramen and some gyoza. It was the secondary play of the day. I could have spent the rest of my Friday night watching any one of the newest movies I downloaded. But instead I ended up binge watching Daredevil. Yep, a Marvel series from 2018. I wonder why I didn't watch it then? Maybe it wasn't Disney+ material? LOL LOL. Anyway I binge watched until well past midnight. And then I had to shut myself down reminding myself I was picking up Johnnie tomorrow morning. It was all good. I got today what I wanted to get done. i got my wins.
