Storms

Yesterday was a wild one. Again we had major storms, incredible lightning show and loss of electricity. The electric really flickered on and off for the entire afternoon and into the evening. I stepped outside while there was a break in the storm and got this picture of the clouds. There’s something about being up in the mountains, so close to the clouds, it’s such a powerful feeling that it’s both inspiring and humbling. I realize how small I am in comparison to the universe and nature yet how much I can accomplish as just one person.

I made a conscious effort last night not to drink. I intentionally kept myself incredibly busy. Without Jeremy here the evenings are difficult, I get lonely and it makes me sad. I’m not used to really missing people because I don’t feel like I have the stuff in my guts to make me that sentimental but somehow, I feel so lonely when Jeremy is gone. I was happy that I was able to get through the night without relying on anything and just work through my feelings. My marijuana intake has been cut down to about a fourth of what it was and running has definitely helped ease my mind and give me some peace and tranquility.

Azrael slept through the night last night in her little cloud and Muriel is still missing her papa, still waking up in the middle of the night and going to the door and waiting for him sometimes crying. Usually in the middle of the night since Jeremy has been gone I will pull her into my bed and cuddle with her but she has an booboo on her paw so I can’t have her bleed on my bed so I don’t let her up on my bed very often right now unless I put her Blankey down first for her to cuddle with. She’s so funny, she cannot sleep unless she’s wrapped in a blanket. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and finds herself outside of her blanket she will come over to my side of the bed and stare at me until I put her blanket back on her. A few years ago I might have found that annoying, now I just find it adorable.

I woke up this morning about 7 AM. I slept in finally! Normally 4:30 is it, I just can’t sleep past then, I like to watch the sun come up but it was nice to get some extra sleep today. I went for a nice run in Aguada and enjoyed the ocean view until it started to rain and then I got in my truck and headed back up the mountain , Cleaned off and went and met my friend Carmen for breakfast.

There’s a place here called Ricomini, if you’re from Puerto Rico you will remember it because it’s been around forever, if not, this place has some of the best food. It’s just a little deli but I love it and the coffee is so delicious! They don’t have Many seats in there so we were lucky to find a table for two and sit down and eat a breakfast. I was craving a Cubano sandwich so that was my breakfast, a half of it, the other half is in the fridge right now.

I stopped over at Ocean State of mind and bought all new underwear, bras, exercise clothes, you know, the things that I do not buy secondhand.

All of my animals ran out of food at the same time so I went and visited the pet store in Aguadilla and stocked up on food and snacks and toys for all the animals. It was a lot!

I just got back home and gave everybody treats. I’m gonna lay down for just a minute medicate myself and start cleaning up my house because I have my girlfriend Vivienne coming over tonight to do girls night stuff.🎉

I’m excited that we don’t have any major storms today but I think it’s supposed to be pretty rainy this afternoon. Please tropical Gods, don’t let me lose power again today 🙏 send me good vibes, prayers, thoughts, meditations if you can. I love candlelight but I prefer to use it because I want to not because I have to.

What do you do to pass the time when you lose electricity? How often do you lose electricity?
