Get your umbrella--it's raining CRAP.
During the night I had a bad dream about my father, who died almost 7 years ago. Sadly, even from beyond the grave, my dad can wreak havoc. He was cold, imperious, intimidating. I vaguely recall his displeasure may have been related to my dislike of his sister, my aunt Marie, who lived to be 95 and has been dead about 10 years? She never could stand me and the feeling was mutual. When I was 8 years old, she swatted my thigh with a fly swatter and taunted me, FAT FAT. (Later in life when I confronted her about that, she of course denied it.) I shudder that I even have GENES from my father's side of the family! His father, "Grandpa" to me, molested me when I was four years old. My sister, too, although I don't know exactly how old she was when he did it to her.
So I woke up in a bad mood and the day went from bad to worse. Ironically, I had just read a book on how to change one's life, called THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. Our thoughts have magnetic power. They materialize whatever we think about. Negative thoughts bring negative people, negative experiences, blah blah. But I didn't go to BED mad last night! Had no idea I would dream of Daddy Dearest.
The Halloween Party on Nov. 9 (delayed because of storm last week) fell flat as well. Couldn't get in the mood, and all the food did was set off a SUGAR BINGE after I got home.
Turned on the radio thinking I could improve my mood that way and attract some GLORIOUS people amd experiences. To my disgust, the station I normally listen to has already changed its format to ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS. That really ticked me off! Nov. 9--two more weeks until thanksgiving--and already it's Christmas music? What's next? We just cancel Halloween and Thanksgiving and start the Christmas season on Labor Day?
The world seems crazy today and full of crap.
Thanks for listening to me vent.

You have had a very upsetting childhood. No wonder you have bad dreams.
I agree that it\'s ridiculous how early they start Christmas stuff like music and decorations. If it weren\'t for my grandkids I\'d skip Christmas entirely -- I\'ve had enough of them for one lifetime. Last year I was very upset at Christmas because of losing Jason -- the holiday memories brought me down big time -- so the doctor prescribed kopolin and it knocked me out so bad I don\'t remember anything of what happened. I\'m going to try to get through it without drugs this year.
Sending love, Terry
