Ascension

It’s getting late, so I better post and head to bed.  During Carrie’s weeklong cleanse, she went through an ascension.  What is an ascension?  Honestly, we’re not sure either.  The best explanation I have is that you are raising your level of consciousness.  It means you can see things more clearly, understanding more, and hopefully live in a more loving place rather than the power play crap of the normal world.  Anyway, I think this was her first one, but she’s set for another by the end of the year, which is one she has to voluntarily do.  This one was more of a trust your guide kind of situation.  But the next one she has to figure out or something.

So I had to ask, when do I get to do my ascension?  Apparently I already did one.  When did this happen?  What did I learn?  lol  I have a feeling I know when, but who knows?  And then, when do I have the next one?  I know I have so much more to learn, and I don’t feel that I see situations clearly at all.  Maybe come January or so, when I will hopefully ease up on my work schedule.  Hell, by then I have to have improved my time management or I will have lost my mind I think.  lol

Well, this wasn’t very exciting, but I needed to note it.  I think that once I do learn to balance things, and get work done when I have the free time, rather than relaxing so much, I’ll do better anyway.  Hell, I haven’t studied any of my aikido yet, and I’m supposed to test in one or two weeks!  I don’t know the japanese at all, and that is bad.  I’m going to have to work on that while at my other job or something.  We’ll see.

So for now, it’s time for bed.  Sleep is very important.  I got at least 12 hours last night and it was wonderful!  Tomorrow is aikido, and I want to get there early to try to practice and review for my test.  Plus I haven’t practice Jogi 1 (the first jo form) in a while.  Maybe we’ll learn the first sword form this week.  We tried 2 weeks ago but no one could remember it enough.  lol  It’s amazing how calming it is to work with a weapon.  Doing sword cuts completely removes frustration as I have to focus.  It’s a great meditation of motion.  Ok, now I’m just going to start rambling.  Bed time!

Mice!

We have mice.  They are cute and adorable little girls, name Rhett and Scarlett.  Carrie just got so happy seeing them all at Petsmart, and when we realized we could get all the supplies and the mice for $35 or less, how could I say no?  Plus, I told her that if she would make this final step to truly give up smoking for her sake, rather than for everyone else, she could totally afford them.  So, we got two mice, a cage that comes with a wheel, the water thing, a platform and ramp, and a food dish (which wasn’t in the box), their food, bedding and an exercise ball for less than $40.  They are fun to watch, haven’t bitten us yet, and even the cats are behaving with them.

I’ll take pictures at some point, but I’d rather let them chill out for a while.  They really like the exercise wheel, and monkey is having fun watching them.  It’s a win win situation so far!

What’s funny is we also went to gamestop to trade in video games.  Ended up with $163 in store credit, so we bought a few things.  But, the mice are more fun than the video games.  lol  However, we did get a charging station for the wii remotes, so we save on batteries.  We also got wii play, which has a shooting game, table tennis, pool, all sorts of fun.    And we got the strat guide for zelda and the phantom hourglass, which we’re slowly playing.  Hehe

Well now that there is entertainment, I better get to work.  Lots to do!  I’ll be blogging later on ascensions.  But work and supper come first.
