ahhhh gee thanks, ya'll are so nice!
if you do see that missing journal and can catch it in a butterfly net or a pool skimmer or maybe an old fashioned box sitting on a stick to trap it...........just send it to me C/O Silly Head, DS, World Wide Web.
i had another crazy dream this morning. this time i had a new boss.......boss guy was sitting in the living room of the house i grew up in. he was with his grandson, a little man of about 4 or 5. they were wearing kingly paper crowns and swinging vast cardboard swords. there was evidence of balled up kleenex everywhere. i was trying to be cool cause this was my boss.......even though he was acting like a little kid roughhousing indoors........i didn't want to lose my job, so i tried to tell myself it's not that bad.......walk away.
went to the kitchen and heard a LOUD THUMP. boss guy and grandson little guy were sitting on the furniture, red faced, out of breath and trying to look all nonchalant. looking around and making do do do humming sounds in unison, pretending innocence.........
and this time the kleenex balls were outta control. there were piles of white fluffy balls of kleenex on every piece of furniture, every surface..........covering tables and the floor, on the windowsills, in the light fixtures, coming out of the vents. the guys were sitting on their hands and refused to look at me. i would turn, hear them giggle, turn again and give them the stern momma face..........turn again and hear more giggling.
suddenly my boss was walking alongside me........i was trying to think how to say what i needed to say........tearing up my house and acting like a kid, ay yi yi yi. he looks at me and gives me this roguish grin........and says that i am to address him in the manner to which he is accustomed. WHAT?
so I'm composing this speech in my head..........trying on phrases like "heir to the throne", "heir apparent", "prince", "future king"..........while all i wanna do is put them both in time out and make them think about what they have done.
so silly..............the easy spray bottle of oven cleaner states, "no fumes, preservative free" (there is no yucky smell).......but then again.........with these conditions plus meds who knows how those cleaning chemicals impact somebody with multiple conditions? .......kooky.
i don't dream as much as i used to, but when i do there is so much DETAIL It's so alive, in living color, so real.........wears me out. kept thinking how cool it is that in my dream i could run........in heels, barefoot.........me running strong and sure-footed............feels awesome to run in my dreams. between the fancy duds and the running it made me feel like an olympic fashionista.
i was happy to bake yesterday. i made a spinach & vidalia onion quiche. and it was gooooooood. vidalia onion is savory and slightly sweet......there is no aftertaste.......it's got such great flavor with none of the downsides, no sharp smell, it doesn't make you tear up at all. it turned me from an anti onion girl into liking onion. never heard of them til I came to Georgia, they are super white and so clean looking. i get zero kickbacks from vidalia onion farmers cross my heart! they are just really good.
yesterday i sent a msg to the city i live in.......about the empty house next door. thanked the city for it's help getting the front lawn cut last month, could they please request that the bank owners mow the entire lawn? the back yard was never addressed, the weeds are tall, plentiful and thick........big patches of weeds as high as 7'-10'. Really bad, on top of that, the gates are all open, a child could wander in and get hurt. There is a large wooden swing set & a large cage for critters that are in the process of collapse. Sad really........I remember when the swing set was being built over there and the kids played on it for hours. (they are not that old, the guy must not have protected the wood)
can't believe they sent a team in so quick...........wish you could hear the equipment, it woke me up this afternoon........ all kinds of loud whirring chopping cutting action happening over there. i feel sorry for the men taking it on and an enormous sense of relief. they are dealing with a jungle......you can barely see the shed in the corner it's so thick. it will hopefully encourage the snakes (we have copperheads in particular) to relocate to the big empty lot on the OTHER side of the street.
wow, hearing some LOUD METALLIC CRUNCHING SOUNDS. What they are doing over there is not easy. it is a shame that the bank let it get so far gone & that it takes calling them out on it for any action to take place. wonder how many hours it will take for them to deal with this heavy jungle terrain........... feel like i should bake treats for the workers. poor fellas..............goodness. wonder if they like popsicles? that is a cool no bake treat. hmmmmm. i know, i hear ya, i am such a MOM, I always want to feed & water folks. it's in the family's DNA I think...........every event incorporated food.
how are you doing? praying for you, trying to lay low and just chill..........the sky is growing dark (it's only 4 pm) it's been raining off and on all day........wish there was a way to protect the brain from shifting barometric pressure.
thinking i might spend some time coloring or drawing tonight. it's a good way to work the muscles and help the pain knots from taking over. gentle, distracting, soothing........i have little kid coloring books and sketch pads..............it's fun to play. hope you take time to play too. it's good for what ails ya........xoxoxo and a nice switch from hand weights too!
annie & rio are standing guard in the front window........my two sentries are on the job! but they send their love to you and your furbabies...............ooooooo's!

I use to love to color, and I just recently saw coloring books and supplies for adults............now just to find it again...........?
Have a great weekend Ruthie, would you be up to a chat Sat or Sunday?
Oven cleaner ??? You mean we are meant to clean them ??? Lol
Dreams can be such funny things sometimes, I have really weird ones but will admit that in my dreams I can\'t run, nope still got all problems I do in my real life unfortunately........... Is that strange?
Happy you have got your two sentries on guard for you !
Oh and I think taking Popsicles to the workmen is a fantastic idea.
You will have to give me the recipe for your spinach & vidalia onion quiche. Sounds yummy! My hubby had to call the home owners association to get someone out here, to cut the grass next door. The yard looks bad! The house has been empty 2 -3 yrs now. It\'s a shame...it\'s a cute house. Wish our economy was put back together again...like Humpty Dumpty.
Have a good weekend. How are Sara & Sam doing? Xoxo
Love the dreams. OH, that makes me pause. I had a few dreams recently where I wasn\'t middle aged and I wasn\'t chronically ill, I was the me I THINK I am when I\'m not in life\'s sad reality. The real me, you might say. It was heavenly to dream about that. So, I know what you mean. Thanks for the comments about play. I am realizing just how very important that is. You are so very right! God bless you xoxo
