I rearranged<\/a> the master bedroom Tuesday night. \u00a0I didn’t set out to. \u00a0I was vacuuming when I decided to wash the window sheers and the several wall hangings I use to make up my Arabian Nights harem canopy for the bed. \u00a0I moved the bed around, moved three chairs out of the room, moved one back in, night stands out of the shed and placed on either side of the bed, a variety of lamps and lighting: red, amber, 25w and 60 watt white. I’m mega sensitive to light so I like to have choices. \u00a0The room measures 15 x 20 and the bookcases lining the walls have my astrology, tarot and divination books in them. This is a good room to study in. There are now lamps at each sitting station. I like to keep my room as my sanctuary, it’s the only room in the house I am not reminded of the office. I often feel as though I’m on vacation when I spend time in my bedroom. \u00a0It reminds me of being at a hotel the day before a conference, relaxing, skipping the opening night dinner to catch some alone time. It feels deliciously self indulgent.<\/p>\n

\"valet<\/a>I had the best time yesterday. I woke up having decided to take the day off to lounge around and enjoy the new bedroom setup. I’m not a recreational sleeper but I felt like hanging out in bed. But as soon as I relax, my creative mind takes over and thinks of fun things for me to do. \u00a0I recalled a valet stand in the shed that I wanted to paint white to use in the bedroom. I jumped up and painted it, then got back in bed.<\/p>\n

Not being a bed lounger, I didn’t quite know how to get comfortable. For me, comfortable is being in a good office chair at the computer. In my mind’s eye, I began designing a padded headboard then realized I had everything here to create it with, so I spent the next 30 minutes doing that. Then I got back in bed.<\/p>\n

\"slippers\"<\/a>I heard the mail truck and ran out in my night shirt. The new letter carrier was squinting in the sun to see how old I was, always a source of amusement since from a distance my hair and animation makes me seem younger. My bangs were covering my eyes, so he was in luck: he can live in the illusion a little longer.\u00a0In the mail I received a package I’d ordered, so I drove to Kohl’s to return it. \u00a0While there, I thought to buy new bedroom slippers to celebrate my new bedroom, purple knitted clogs with an outdoor sole. Being a barefoot gal, they are my first bedroom slippers ever. \u00a0I came home, put laundry in and swept off the patio outside the master suite. Laundry done, I jumped into pjs still warm from the dryer and got back in bed.<\/p>\n

I noticed the outside bulb was out, so I got up and ran into the shed for one of those big flood light bulbs. \u00a0While in the shed, I scouted for more furniture to move into the new room and left with just the bulb. \u00a0I wasn’t being very successful at staying in bed all day, as was my plan. \u00a0I wanted to. Well, I wanted<\/em> to want to.<\/p>\n

But as soon as I relax away from work, my mind is filled with all sorts of creative ideas that I want to start doing… right now. \u00a0I at least want to get up and go to the computer and make a list of them and outline a summary of each while the info is flowing into my awareness.\u00a0But that’s not just more busy work (is it??), it’s a relaxing routine for me as well: the downloading of intuitive guidance into written form so I can meditate upon it more fully and share it with those who are asking for the information. \u00a0Maybe I should just stop trying to relax the way everyone else thinks it’s supposed to be done.<\/p>\n
