9-30-11 Trading In the Tricycle

   


9-30-11   Trading in the Tricycle

 Monday I put up a new ad for a new roommate and got a really good reply right off the bat. He wanted to see the room that night. I called home and talked to Jeremy and told him to help Anderson get his stuff out, he told me he was having second thoughts so I called him up. He said he was and I said NO you are not you are moving or you are getting out. You led me on and I got several people interested. He has been a bit of a pain too, and he is not working either, and partying all the time, has people coming and going in here all the time. Not a safe bet at all, not to mention up all night and wakes me and Marie. I used to wait longer and put up with not so good tenants but not anymore, I lost too much money and too much peace of mind in the past and I finally learned my lesson.  I also called up the volunteer place to go do Reiki at the hospice places and since I signed up for that I felt OK enough to really start advertising to give it for a fee. So I set up a Facebook event, Distance Reiki Sessions on Sale and started getting that out there. I feel that the giving will bless the receiving. As if to confirm that my weekly quote came in:
The ancient Babylonians practiced a vital law that was the cause of their immense prosperity. They used the tithing law, which involves giving one-tenth of all money or riches that you receive. The tithing law says that you must give to receive, and the Babylonians knew that the practice of this law opens up the flow of abundance. If you are thinking, "I will give when I have enough money," then the tithing law says you will never have enough money, because you have to give first. Many of the wealthiest people on the planet tithed their way to wealth, and they have never stopped tithing!

So Monday night I showed the room to two guys, one was younger and he had contacted me second. The next guy was closer to my age so I told the kid he gets second dibs if the first one does not want it. I apologized but said I just have too much hectic stuff and noise going on for too many young roommates. The older guy liked it but said he made an appointment to see one other he had to keep and would let me know. I know that whomever was meant to get it would get it. I wrote Randy and asked did he want me to give the one who does not take it his number and he said NO. I told him see again the actions do not match the words but no worries I gave him the message I was meant to give him and he can do whatever he wants. That night I prayed to God and thanked him for doing his help in getting me more income, even though I haven't actually gotten any more income yet I put plans in place and I trust them to come to fruition much the same way we plant a seed, water it and expect a harvest. Then I said the next thing I need help with is Jeremy, my son is not happy please help, as a mater of fact help BOTH my sons to find happiness.

Tuesday driving to work I was thinking about my basement, the two boys now living in it, the fact that I want to do workshops in it and yoga once the beach gets too cold and how hot and humid it had been the day before. I finally decided to look into getting some thing to help and found an air cooler that removes moisture at walmart.com for $120. I took a leap of faith and ordered it with one of my credit cards with a lesser than the rest balance. Next I got call from the DVR place and they said they convinced unemployment to look into getting Jermey in trade school first before making him get another minimu wage job! I was so happy!  Then the older guy called about the room and said he needed a few more days to decide about the room so I decided to give it to the kid, well turns out he's 24 and he came and paid me that night and is moving in on thursday. I also got contacted to put an event on my calender and in my newsletter, and she had one in Philly also and wanted me to do BOTH! I really am starting to make a bit by posting and promoting events! I heard from Randy too, he said he can't take the guy because his older "son" is moving back in next week. Oh well that's that I said to him and he replied no more. Mary said he's such an imbecile for staying in that situation. I had found some old pictures of us from when we were dating 4 years ago, he looked so good then..but not so good now. Now he looks all worn down and tired, falling apart here and there and it made me nostalgic a bit and sad a bit. I prayed to God why do I keep going backwards here and my voice said: I can offer you a brand new two wheeler and you keep wanting to ride the rusty old tricycle. Please help me I don't want to stay on the comfortable easy ride I answered back.

Wednesday was hectic to the max! Lots and lots or work and then after work I had back to back things going on. First the interview for the TV show and then also Yoga. To add to the day Anderson came upstairs and told me he had a lot of money stolen from his wallet, he was so upset! I went down to help him look and make Jeremy and his friend who was sleeping over allow him to search them, their backpack and car too. The money was not found and Jeremy swears his friend didn't take it but I told him it was odd that all these months we all get along with no thefts and soon as I allow his friend back, who was banned by me previously, something is stolen. I told Anderson the only thing left to do was call the police but he declined and begged again later to move back upstairs. I told him no he'd just have to move out if he didn't like it down there, he so far is deciding to stay. I did feel bad the next day and left him a note telling him I would do his laundry for him while he stays here to make up for that, that will make him happy. He's been quiter and behaving I think he wants to stay, I think he needs to stay. I can let him but I need him to stay in the basement and his room looks good too I think.

I just got done handling that mess when the woman came to do my interview for photo ID TV show. She scanned all my pictures and asked me to give a brief audio interview. At the end she asked me to give a life lesson statement. I knew that was coming and had been thinking about it and nothing came, not until she shoved the microphone in my face! LOL  After discussing Cassie's Calendar, the shyness of my early years the coming out of my shell in my college years and the start of my social network partying after my divorce I told her I learned one very valuable thing: Weather it lasts a reason, a season or a lifetime, EVERY friendship counts!  I can't wait for this to be on the air, co-incidentally it should be ready in about a month and thats around Halloween when my dear friend told me that the new website she is building for me should be ready....She rushed off as she knew I had the Yoga thing but instead of handshake she insisted on giving me a hug before she left! I rushed off to the beach to meet Nancy, no one showed up but it was sorta drizzly this evening. She had he friends kids with her anyway, so we brought the kids back to my house and I took her down and showed her the basement and what it looked like with both boys down there. She said it was fine, that we could get 6 in there and if the class grows we will worry about an alternative place later on. I felt so relieved as I had been having a lot of anxiety about the space.

Thursday I was so bogged down with work I had to ask my co-worker for help. My workflow keeps growing and growing, but at least I have a job! I was busy getting my newsletter ready so I could send it late that night instead of friday morning due to the fact the server bogs up on friday mornings. I had two paying customers too so it had to be right! So far the only thing I make much at is Yoga (sometimes) and advertising on CC. It earned me enough to pay the electric bill and that made me very happy. It took 3 hrs of my evening but when I figured it out it was about the same rate of pay I get at J&J! My Dad had sent a link that Dustin had sent him asking him to forward about his stance on abortion so I wrote to Dustin offering him a fourm on CC to do his preaching. I told him he can express ANY view he wants so long as he graciously accepts rebuttal. I told him he wanted a soap box, well I got one that reachs 8,000 ppl...come try it. He didn't reply to that but he found out some banking stuff and he wrote to caution me about it, that gave me some hope that our relationship would improve....time will heal it he just needs to grow up a bit more....

Friday I woke up with a thought in my head and I wrote to Randy, I told him that it was bugging me like crazy that I had been wrong about advising him to get a roomate when his "son" was coming back to live, I told him the only expliantion I have is that it's his grandmother meddling again. See I am not good at getting messages and I don't always know where or who they are coming from. All I can do is relay what I hear. So I asked him to talk to her and ask her to stop meddling with me , that he chose them and to leave me be so I can find my own man. He wrote back later in the day and he said sure he will talk to her and he asked if I wanted to meet him at Bhars sat or sun. I thought about it and I said Maybe. I'd like to have peace with him so we shall see how my weekend goes if I am not meant to see him the Universe will take care of that. One thing I know for sure, Randy is a tricycle and I am ready for a two wheeler.... Not that a tricycle can't become a two wheeler IF it wanted to, but that would take a major tear down adn rebuild. And besides Randy's quite happy being a tricycle and there's not a thing wrong with that...for him. For me well it's just a painful ride and I am just too old for it....  .

Today I think about if you have any tricycles in your own life and see if you just might be ready to trade them in for a brand new two wheeler..........Oh the places you will go if you do!!!.......


With Love and in the Light, Cassie
