My husband received the job offer at local military base on November 30^th. The started getting ready to have him at their workplace. My husband has been dealing with inputting information and sign their documents. Tomorrow will be his first work day for the new workplace.

This morning he received a phone call from other job offer. They interviewed him three times and finally they made a final decision to hire him. The office director offered higher salary than the job he just accepted one week ago. It was very hard for him to decline right away.

My husband got confused. Such thing never happened to him before.

I meditated and asked my family spirits for advice. They told me this will be his job and he is the one who will work every day. Also he is the one who work with the other coworkers. And so, I should not involve in this decision. Have my husband decide. His gut feeling will tell him the right one for him.

I conveyed the message. His gut feeling at this moment tells him to go for the local job, even though their offered pay is lower than the other one. I told him I will support him for his decision.

So, he officially declined the new job offer.

My daughter received a belated birthday card from her grandparents. The grandma confused the date of my daughter’s birthday as December 11^th, which is her own birthday.

Regardless of arrived belated, my daughter was happy for her grandparents’ birthday wish.

Two days ago, I texted the realtor to ask the house owner if he is willing to sell this house to us or not. She texted back to me right away, saying she would love to be our realtor in the process of house purchasing, and she sent an inquiry email to the house owner. She said she should receive the reply soon. 

This morning I was eager to know the update regarding the house purchase situation, but I was reluctant to call the realtor. I feel scared talking with her over the phone because of her low tone voice so that I always communicate with her through an email or cell phone text.

When I was about to send a text message to her, I felt a strong feeling that I should call her and talk to her over the phone. So, I took courage and called her.

It was good to have called her. When speaking in person over the phone, she sounded like much nicer and friendlier than communicating through an email or a text.

Through the conversation, I gained lots of information. According to the realtor, the house owner is hard to get hold of. Every time whenever the realtor needs to contact him, earliest would be several days later. Sometimes it takes two weeks or more. Last time he was somewhere in foreign country. I mentioned about our situation. We are granted a piece of land in Navajoland and will eventually build a house there. We had not planned to buy a house in this area until the end of last year. The realtor sent us a rent increase notice letter. They increased the rent by $100. I told her the situation around this neighborhood with the actual rent amount of the house across us and of our next door. I thought the sudden rent increase was a hint for them to kick us out. The realtor told me last year the house owner contacted her. He informed her of the real estate tax and the house insurance increased, and so, he wanted to increase the rent so as to avoid him to pay out of pocket. I thought if the realtor had informed me the reason, I would not have had a bad feeling toward both of them.

So, all is good. I appreciate my family spirits to inspire me to call the realtor instead of texting.   

Even though communicating through emails and texts is easy and convenient, talking directly over the phone or face to face in person will be better in understanding each other. Today’s experience was a good lesson for me.

At 9 p.m., I attended my second meditation class. The instructor was an elder woman. I like her a lot. She is kind and gentle, and very funny. There were four students. I like this kind of small class. We introduced ourselves on where we live and how many years have been studying mediumship in this school. The two students have studies for many years, and the one student have studies for one year. I was the newest student in this school. The teacher have studied in the Japanese mediumship school for more than 20 years.

The teacher started off our class with teaching the short meditation of chakra cleansing. We image a golden light ball in the base chakra. Then, move the ball through the second, the third, all the way up to the crown chakra. We move this golden light ball up and down through the seven chakras.

Then we proceeded to the main mediation. My guide spirit appeared in a male figure. He was putting on a white wolf far on top of his naked upper body. I could see his buildup muscle.  His upper body was naked with. I asked him about our house. In which area should we buy; in Navajoland or in this current area? He asked me why not both? He told me instead of choosing only one, we can have two houses in two different areas. Anything is possible. It is up to me and I am the one who create my life.

Before ending the class, the instructor read one of her favorite books; Love Without Conditions: Reflections of the Christ Mind written by Paul Ferrini.

I had an appointment with the car dealer. They wanted to re-try some tests on my car. They will keep my car for about one week.

My family and I left our house in the early morning of 7:30 a.m. After we dropped off my car and got a loaner car, we did our routines. We visited the puppy store and played with puppies, then we had lunch at our favorite hamburger restaurant. We came back home in the evening.

This car dealer located a 1.5 hour drive away from my house. Just one round trip to the car dealer drains me.

At the end of last month, one of our neighbor friends moved out. They are an old couple with two dogs. They were renting the house and planning to buy it from the owner. However, last summer, the man argued with his next door neighbor. They ended up with actual punching fighting, even though they are both in their 70s. He never told me the reason why they got fight, but as far as my intuition concerns, the bad guy is his next door neighbor. With the fight, the old couple gave up on buying the current house and decided move out from this area.

On their last day, they showed us their moving house. Their house was slightly smaller than our current house, but I knew they had invested a lot to the house, because they were planning to buy it. They put gravel on both of front and back yards, decorated them very nicely, and planted trees here and there. They replaced the roof. They put shelves throughout the indoor house and the garage. With their many investments, the house looks much better than before.

Their house owner decided to stop renting it and to put it in the market. The list price was reasonable.

We also met a realtor for their house. We could have made an offer to buy this house, but my family and I are still reluctant of moving. We decided to ask our realtor if the house owner of our currently living wants to sell his house to us or not.

The road to become a house owner seems to be long.   

It was my daughter’s birthday. We woke up in a hotel room. We noticed our clothes and hair had a cigarette odor from the suite room.

We went back to our original room. Our next door guests were quiet. They finally fell asleep, I guess.

We went to the outdoor swimming pool and enjoyed the vacation time in the morning.

***

We checked out the hotel and came back home before noon.

Right after we unloaded our staff, the entrance doorbell rang. It was our friend. She was holding a birthday balloon and a gift bag. It was a nice surprise.

I am glad my daughter had a nice birthday today. I really appreciate my daughter to have come to me in my life.  

In the afternoon we went to the hotel to cerebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was the same hotel where we stayed in last month. We like this hotel for their heated outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

We enjoyed swimming in the late afternoon. We had a nice dinner with the hotel’s complimentary red wine. Everything went well. It was a nice day to relax.

We went to bed at 9 p.m. After the good exercise from swimming, we fell asleep right away. However our peaceful sleep was suddenly disrupted. The hotel guests in our next room came back around 11 p.m. They were so loud. They sounded like a family of five; parents with three young kids. They started taking a bath with a jet. They took their time for long. The loud sound of the in-room jet bath in the middle of night was so disturbing. After their long bath, the parents started arguing. Their voice got louder and louder to the point where they yelled each other with cussing words. They even yelled to their kids.

We patiently waited for them to sleep, but their fight continued until 3 a.m. we could not sleep at all. Finally I asked my husband to call the front desk. He asked the front desk to give us a replacement room, but the front desk man said there was no vacant room available. He visited to the next door and warned the loud fighting parents to keep it down for other guests. After the front desk man left, the couple kept their voice low for about five minutes. Then they started getting louder and louder. It sounded they started punching each other or something. I heard lots of thuds, banging sounds, and screams. Then, to my surprise, they started taking a jet bath again. It was after 3:30 a.m.

This time I grabbed the phone and called the front desk. I told everything and asked for a replacement room in other building. The front desk man finally prepared another room and we moved. It was a room next to the swimming pool. The room was a luxurious suite room with a kitchen and a huge Jacuzzi in the room. The room had one big issue though. The strong cigarette odor. The front desk man said this room is a non-smoking room, but many hotel guests had smoked inside the room. It is understandable because this room is a party room. I can easily imagine the hotel guests gathered up in a huge Jacuzzi, with drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.

We could finally sleep right before 4 a.m. It was a long and awful night.  

I made my homemade miso with black beans. I used 500 grams of each black beans and kouji, and 200 gram of sea salt.

Since last October I have been talking about buying a wearable Fitness Tracker. Today my small wish naturally came true. I was gifted a brand new fitness tracker; Fitbit Alta.

I started wearing it from today.
