This is the middle bedroom, also called the Quilt Room and Pooh Corner and the Second Guest Room. I sleep in this room when I need to get up very early and don’t want to disturb Tom and the dogs (for example, transport days or 5 AM work sessions). Right now, based on recommendations from the CDC (because I listen to doctors and scientists), Tom and I sleep separately and have always used separate bathrooms, so we are in compliance. I’m high-risk and still have to go to doctors’ appointments or take Debby (also high-risk) to doctors’ appointments. Tom’s going out when we need things from stores. So we’re both protecting the other, and it’s also recommended that high-risk people not sleep with or cuddle their pets. Both guest bedrooms have gates so the dogs never go in them.

I tend to compartmentalize what I do on my different devices. The laptop is always my work-away-from-home computer. Since I’m not leaving home, I’m hoping to turn it into my writing computer. I haven’t been writing. My head is not in a writing place. But maybe by setting up my laptop away from my work computer, in this little nest, I can get my head back into a writing place.

If not, I also have my Nook and my iPad where my Kindle and Kobo ebooks reside. I can always read.

A sacral chakra candle for creativity. My last chapter took so long to finish that I’m seeking all the creative energy I can find over the upcoming days for the next chapter–because it’s about some very creative characters. The stones are a moonstone, banded carnelian with two more carnelians, and a “handful” of carnelian chips. Carnelians enhance concentration and creative forces. Moonstones, a favorite, enhance receptive, dreamlike states and harmonize emotions. The candle is scented with ylang ylang and sandalwood.

Good stuff from the Universe! Now I need to follow through.
