chapter 45

 

well.

45 sure has started off with a bang.

october was a month.

october was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG month. 

it started with letting go of stella and ended with moving.

that’s a lot of change and letting go and literally moving on for ONE. FUCKING. MONTH.

i really hope november lets me take a moment to catch my breath.

i will say though: through it all, i am so eternally grateful to the universe for how well it all went.

i moved in 2 hours.

TWO. HOURS.

that’s insane.

7 people in total, myself, my partner, a co-worker, my kid, and his crew of helpers.

TWO. HOURS.

two trucks, one trailer, and several trips in the mini cooper. parking directly out front of the new place for unloading. everyone showed up on time, got to work, hammered it out (and back in) in TWO. HOURS. 

now that it’s all done and over and i’m not going to jinx anything: the lease worked out. the new manager was on time with the keys. the weather was PERFECT. after a solid week of rain i had 2 days of perfect weather: no rain, no snow, no blazing sun, just a happy goldilocks JUST RIGHT. no injuries. NO INJURIES. third floor. satan’s staircase. multiple trips by multiple people. NO INJURIES. i had exactly the right number of boxes to get all the plants out on the last trip. the only thing broken in sacrifice to the moving gods was a $20 mirror. I CAN DEAL WITH THAT. i plugged in my router at the new place and the internet worked. i turned on the floorboards and the heat worked. i plugged in lamps and the eclectic worked. my furniture fits EXACTLY in the new place. i mean EXACTLY. to the perfect inch.

no more drug dealers. no more squatters. no more dumpster divers. no more freezing all winter. no more sirens. no more parking lot lights and flood lights and building lights.

this was, in every possible sense of the experience, the perfect move. everyone met up at 11 and we were having pizza and beer by 1.

i am so insanely grateful. the universe aligned exactly and i am SO GRATEFUL.

friends and one of my bosses help with money. my brother not only sent me money, he didn’t even lecture me first AND wished me a “happy new chapter.” the same brother that called me a frog with a lighter under my ass once upon a time. no lecture, financial help, AND good wishes? amazing. 

a friend offered a hot tub night on saturday that was MUCH NEEDED. i was able to get sunday off work to be able to unpack. i had enough time to get enough things put away that i was able to get ready for work this morning without stepping over any boxes. AND MAKE COFFEE. coffee in the new place on a monday morning before work without stepping over boxes. that’s a good start to the week.

i am so grateful for how this weekend went.

in all my moves (so many moves), this one was by far the best and easiest.

i am so grateful.

i’ve met several of the new neighbors- one has an english bulldog named fat mama. broke my heart and healed it all at the same time. one of my neighbors spent sunday clearing the leaves off the sidewalk. already 100000000% improvement.

october was a kick in the teeth.

for sure.

but sometimes i think you need a kick in the teeth to remind you to get up out of the dirt. why are your teeth at kicking level girl? it might be time to elevate.

i did some full moon work last thursday and the message was loud and clear:

There is a new foundation. You are disconnecting and disengaging from an old way of being. The Taurus full moon focuses on home, routine, security, foundation, food, and cooking.

Are you really comfortable? Or just in your comfort zone?

Give yourself the ability to see life in a new way.

You’ve paid off old karma, it’s time to open up a new timeline.

YOU DON’T KNOW ME! good lord. not even a single ounce of energy spent trying to deny the universe speaking DIRECTLY TO ME on that one. (source: Chris Corsini Full Moon In Taurus workshop).

the number 9 in numerology is all about endings. 4+5=9. 2+0+2+5=9. that’s a LOT of endings all coming together at the same time.

i’m ready for new beginnings. i’m ready for a new timeline. i’m ready to get up out of the dirt and see what comes next.

chapter 45 started with a bang.

let’s see where it goes now.
