a little chit chat.......xo

 
i've been so sleepy, sick and out of it.  amazed that i got up.......showered, did a few chores.  amazed. 
i'm not out in space or a part of the space race........i'm mostly just spaced out.  maybe i had a spacerectomy?  seems possible.
i didn't make it down the driveway..........too far/too hard.  Glad that i am looking out of the window.......that's a refreshing feeling.  I opened the door and the perfect kite flying wind is in session.  It feels so good entering the lungs........indoor air feels almost past the sell by date in comparison.  i have thought about getting an old fashioned screen door about a hunnerd million times, but still haven't done it.  ya see, my windows have locks on them that my hands are no longer strong enough to open.  i have tried and tried.  windows 109, sparrow zip.
something that has that old fashioned look and feel.......strong enough to keep kitties in and sheer enough to bring a great breeze throughout the place.  what a gift that would be.  more fresh air........ahhhhhhh aveeno.               (tv commercial phrase.......)
so um hi! i miss ya'll........whatever you're up to, how you are feeling.  i have the hiccups for no good reason.......the hard kind that make a body bounce some in the chair.  yikes.  when i can re-engage and do the speak think better i can't wait to read about your life and times.  praying for ya..........hope Joey's procedure went ok.........seems like that was today right? 
i potted a new plant (from sturdy root babies) a couple of days ago and since then i've been playing the part of a napaholic.  i'm just so tired.........sorry i know that is probably the most overused word in my language.  i need to learn new ways to say it or maybe even learn to stop saying it. 
i had several slices of movie pie lately........i start the movie and then fall asleep.  i suppose that's a huge reason why i know a little bit about a lot of things.........cause i am not making it to the exciting conclusion.  movie pie has zero calories - requires no standing, cooking or clean up. 
so what else?  i read two more chapters of my dr. written inspirational book about handling big stuff.  when my brain returns i can try try again.  re-read the stuff that didn't stick.  lots of things hit the windshield, but just don't stick........fly off.....where does it go?  he says so many interesting things that my brain fills with happy little popcorn kernels..............and they in turn pop into big fluffy hot idea kernels.........i think he is going to teach me some really great stuff.  he's not bossy.......he shares things and then lets you simmer on it.  i like that........it feels like you're reading something a dear friend wrote to you........cause they are also trying to figure out life.......and they share their thoughts with you.  if i ever wrote a nonfiction book i would want to be like that........share a journey of self discovery with myself and with others.........we're all trying to get there.  it's so much nicer to share the driving............do it together.
my ride will be a pink cadillac with plush velvet seats........glam sunglasses/sundress and marilyn monroe shoes (not for walking, just ......well just because they're purty...........and lots of long trailing in the wind chiffon scarves......that's a must.
Annie says hello...........she's a lovebucket of purring fur.  Rio does not answer to any of the new idiotic names I've tried.........really idiotic.  Names like Googie, Wigglehead.......Boogieoogie.........not as bad as mushy wushy baby goo goo talk, but close.  I make up the most ridiculous songs on the spot and serenade them.  Surprisingly they have never tried to kill me for this.  Like Sally Fields said once,........"you love me, you really love me!" ........Annie & Rio put up with this goombah on a daily basis.  They help the soul.
i feel more cheerful now than when i sat down.  i feel like i am really talking to ya'll.....and that lifts my spirit up.  most of ya already know i'm a sentimental slob.......so it won't be a surprise..........hang in there..........some of you are being very courageous and brave right now, i can feel it in my bones.............that is all kinds of awesome.  God Bless You.......for the things you are doing in care of YOU............I can feel the magic.

Glad you have come back from your sleepathon Serce ! Sometimes our bodies just give us, really make us aware that this is exactly what we need right now huh? Best to just go with it is telling you in my experience. Rio\' s new experimental names do sound funny but can you imagine him being called anything but Rio now?
So nice to read your journal,
Hugs

You have the hiccups? I have the solution for that. Now, the prollem here is that you need another person, OR a very lightweight paper or plastic cup! What you do is (and this is science, it\'s never failed anyone I told about it)....you fill the paper/plastic cup with water.....enough water for at least five gulps. Now, if you hgave someone there with you, you put your arms up in the air, and have the person \"feed\" you the water! Just gulp it down slowly with your arms over your head in the air. If you are alone, and the cup is light enough, you can put your arms up, with paper cup in your mouth and just tilt back a bit till you get a few gulps down. I\'ve done this! Granted, it looks stupid, and you might drown yourself, but once those five gulps are down (with hands OVER your head pointing towards the ceiling) your hiccups will be gone. Could Annie or Rio feed you the water? NO? Even witih all those lovely names you\'ve discovered!!! Hmmmmmm. Whelp, this can be done by one person!! I wish you the best. Ahem. (got a mailman or neighbor that could help ya with this?)!

I hear ya about the fresh air. Oh boy do we need that. I have a window air conditioner in my room. It has a \"vent\" option. Whenever I can, I leave the room, turn on the vent and let the outside air in! It feels wonderful. We can\'t be breathing the same ole crappy air all the time. I love to shut the heat off on a cold day, and just open the doors and freeze the place down. Hubby ain\'t real thrilled about those days, but he just puts on a coat and indulges me. Poor man, what can he do????

Ok, then napoholic, you just rest, and no feeling guilty! Read and have movie pie, and wait for Spring to arrive (and all the Sparrows) and the blooming flowers and I just know that will lift your spirits!

Yes, Joey\'s epidural was today! It went well, I believe!! xoxo

I like reading your journal posts~~it is like talking to our far-away friends.

I know what you mean about a nice screen door. Feels so nice tonfeel the fresh air wind right into your house. Still too cold here for that~~but hopefully not too much longer.

Hope you, Annie and Rio enjoy your evening. Nice talkin\'to you!

Hello Searce, I look at your journals as chapters in your online book,and you do share your journey with us here....
I like your idea of \"Movie Pie\" Its a great idea for a pie.
Pink caddy w/velvet plush seats..marilyn monroe shoes and scaf\'s YES!! Reminds me of movie titled \"The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants\". One of my favorites.
I have a front screen door and I think now when I stand in front of it taking in the day and fresh air,I will think of you and your poetic spirit and Smile!
Maybe the winter time sleeps/hibernation is moving through your body and that is why your sleeping a lot. Could be just your body needs the sleeps.
I love that you sing. I drum,and my kitties are not thrilled with it,annie i think kind of likes it. Keep singing Searce,Hugs/Love/Greenies for the furkids. xo

Hello there Ruthie,
I also loved the movie pie thingy, I do that ALOT. Naps are my saving grace right now - downtime from worry, dread, sorrow etc. You get the idea. It seems they just sneak right up on me, it is a good thing most of my movies are pre recorded! Love to you, hope you get a little spring in your step - we could walk this one together. Making plans around obligations- keeps me thinking anyway. Soft, quiet hugs special one, Connie
