Journal - Journey Jeep

I’m back at Journey Jeep.  The little A with a circle and exclamation mark continues to declare itself on my dash.  This is the 4th visit for that little light. The Jeep runs just fine.  The first time they brought in recall parts and next time did the replacements. Next time they did something else and last time put in a new battery trying to solve the computer glitch. They insist that there’s nothing concerning and now it appears it’s only the engine going off and on at stops signs I’ve noticed nothing in the car but am concerned about the light, a false alarm, if I”m going to be off road .  I took the Jeep up the east road of Harrison Lake and enjoyed being in the back woods.  It’s an amazing vehicle.

I would rather have the Friday off for other chores. I have to take Madigan into be groomed next Friday.  I have to take the Thor Motorcoach into Dams Ford for its maintenance check.  Everything is going well.  Victor has the Vespa and I’m hoping when he sells it I’ll bring down the Royal Bank loan for the Jeep.,  I ‘ve reduced it to a fraction and think they have to adjust the loan with next payment. Then I have to put money in the TFSA for eventually retirement. I don’t imagine any time soon.  I have a few books to write and frankly no great desire to be doing serious writing. I’ve book a psychopharmacology conference in Sept but thought of doing thee Harvard course.,

I’m kind of betwixt and between.  I’ve over weight and have to reduce my girth for health reasons.  My back hurts and I think the belly affects the spine so am hoping to reduce weight if only for that.  I’m fasting today.  Tomorrow I have an online meeting in the morning then a Chiropracter visit.

I really have to address the storage locker.  

I have yet to receive word on the rifle buy back  

I hope to go to church Sunday. It’s been too long. 

I have a child’s clothing card I have to send to Maizy.

I’m enjoying reading a thriller after reading a couple of Louis L’Amour westerns. It’s nice to read beach books .  I go for periods without ‘fun’ reading. I’m also reading Mystics of the Church by Evelyn Underhill and find myself less ‘escapist’ than I was in the past. My life is fairly stable and I’m moseying along concerned about pain and asking about my relationship with God.

I’m grateful to be sober.  

I don’t know about cross dressing., I certainly enjoy the theatre.  Sometimes I wonder if the road not taken - theatre- might have been ‘better’ than this ‘doctor bit is so far out’.  I have no regrets about family medicine and serving in hospitals as a psychiatrist and have enjoyed the consultation and diagnosics now virtual .  Psychopharmacology is not as challenging or stimulating as psychotherapy was.  I’m serving and glad to be paid to pay for my motorhome and jeep,.  It’s a good life. 

Thank you God for Christianity. Thank you God for our relationship. Thank you God for Madigan. Thank you God for Laura. Thank you God for family. Thank you God for friends., Thank you God for work. Thank you God for my fingers. Thank you good for air. Thank you God for coffee.  Thank you God for all your blessings ,

Thannk you God for this Apple IPad Pro.  Thank you for my iPhone,. Thank you for tech.  Thank you for my legs and mobility.  

I’ll make a trip to the post office . I picked up a load of laundry yesterday and groceries on Wednesday but I’ll have to pick up the laundry again on Saturday, The Merry Maids , Alina and Alyina came and changes the sheets and pillow cases.,  I have to clean the fridge or ask them to do it The problem is that I have so much food in it right now.  I could take a storage locker run to take things like the winter clothing and leather motorcycle jackets there for storage. 

It’s raining . I ‘d thought to take Madigan to a dog friendly beach where we could swim . He wades but I’d like to swim.
