Rose Reiki - Life's ups and downs
What a couple of weeks! I finish work to enjoy two weeks of bliss and both my son and I have been laid down with some kind of virus.
I felt wiped out and totally lethargic, while he had a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever. I rang the doctors when things started to get too bad and they told me I was not to bring him in, just in case it was swine flu and to ring the NHS hotline. I rang them, went through all the questions, to be told "I'm not medically trained so I can't say whether it is swine flu and get your GP to assess him." So, I called the GP back and they were a bit perplexed, so put me on to the nurse, who told me to put him in the bath frequently to cool him, give plenty of fluids, paracetamol and rest and under no circumstances venture out of the house. All the things I had been doing!! Today for the first time, his fever seems to have subsided and fingers crossed he is over the worst of it. The world's gone mad. What if hadn't got flu, but a throat infection or something else.
Yesterday was my sister's birthday. My dad came to babysit and in the afternoon I took my sister and mum to a new therapy centre which had opened in the next village. Things work in mysterious ways. When we arrived they were doing free mini treatments, so we all ended up having aromatherapy massages, reflexology and the others reiki. I got chatting to the owner and told her I was a qualified reiki practitioner and that I was also qualified to do ear candling. She was overjoyed as she'd been inundated with people wanting ear candling. She already has a reiki therapist, but said there was room for more. So now I've got myself a day a week using her treatment room, which I will start once the insurance has come through. It had lapsed last month and I hadn't bothered renewing, thinking I wouldn't probably need it again. Well now I do and I'm so looking forward to this.
Out if it as well, the owner Mandi, is running a spiritual development workshop so I'm going aong to that to meet other like minded people. Things seem to be looking up and sending those messages out seems to be paying off.
Mandi was over the moon as she said her prayers had been answered. So here's to another journey, which I'll keep you informed about.
Back to my "real" job next week, but then I'm off again for another two weeks and that's when I hope to start at the centre and then it'll be one day a week there from September.
Going back to the birthday, to top if off after we'd been to the centre, which my sister thought I'd planned (I swear I hadn't), we took her out for a meal to a pub in Swinhope called the Click Em' Inn - fantastic food and great views over the Wolds. While we there the Grimsby Morris Men turned up. Well we told them it was my sister's birthday and they invited her to join in with a dance (though again she said I'd planned it - what she has to remember the universe works in mysterious ways). She loved it and it was a great way to end a fantastic day! And out of it, I've got the Morris Men coming in to the college (where I teach media to try) and educate the students about English traditions. So they'll do some dances and they've also put together some photo boards of the history of the group.
