Half & Half
Half vent ----half positive
there is a great Christmas clip at the end!!!!
woke up feeling crankier than a polecat trapped in a greyhound bus full of crazy tourists.
played the calm down game. nothin' fancy, just practice breathing, eyelids down........couldn't do it, eyes were burning........so I hunt a new box of eye drops - feel like a burglar trying to break into Ft. Knox. Had to hunt scissors to get into the foil packet inside the box made out of some kind of bionic cardboard...........the eyedrops felt so good AHHHHHHHHHHlelujah, but still cranky.
felt like the incredible hulk........stiff, angry, stomping, growling, hurting.........ok maybe not hulk, more like hulk-ette! with a bow in my hulk-ette hair. i could use a lotta massage and a lotta time in a hot tub. like say until spring. arthritic stiffness.......is so rude. harsh.......wrong. sick and wrong.
Dunked myself in the rain room for a good long time. Lots of steam, sick of being stuffy, sneezy, achy, crabby.......and out of sorts. The water helped.......surely did.......but then it was time to play the hurry up put on warm clothes fast or lose body heat game.
Ever watch a tired toddler fight somebody when it's time to get dressed? Well that's how it seemed to me watching myself fight each of my legs and each of my arms into basic cotton attire. Seriously a cross between a game of twister & the hokey pokey song from roller rink days.
It was harder than heck getting the right limb in the right spot...............if this was the pop quiz of the day it was not FUNNY ......putting all Prankstercam Staff on notice right now!!!!!!! ..........if I find you I'm gonna wallop you with my giant nerfbat. ................i'll give you a small head start.........at the count of three.
don't anybody tell them i can't run..........that's our little secret! the Prankstercam Staff aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.........they don't get that I have one speed. Turtle. That's it. I won't tell and I know you won't either!
how's the vent going so far? i'm a wee bit ashamed of my attitude..........but not enough to stop. every day i hope i hope this will be the day i can go out. leave the house, get some things........enough to do the treats i want to make........but maybe that is not MEANT TO BE.
maybe not. maybe not. repeating it is does not seem to bring me any closer to being able to go. there is a cold front coming this way...........need eggs and a few other ingredients. my vision gets better and then nose dives again.......i've had this vision disturbance issue for a long time now.
it comes and goes with the other odd symptoms..........and just about the time i'm convinced i need glasses, it clears up again..............but not today. can't drive til my eyes get it together. bummer dude.........bummer.
i live in the country, there is no grocery delivery. not out 'cheer.........this area could be sung about to the theme song for Green Acres......."Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me........Land spreading out so far and wide......keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside!"
so enough about my crabby grouchy body.........meant to tell you, there is a small house about two miles away - the folks that own it have decked it out for Christmas. the house, their fences, yard, vehicles.............there are lights, vintage decorations, wreathes, a nativity scene........things that move, things that sparkle and glow.........suddenly it's like you've stumbled upon Las Vegas in the dessert .......'cept a course it's in the countryside of Georgia, not Nevada....lol................I braked my car. I stared. It was a lot of LIGHT!
feel like i should go back and take some home baked cookies to their door...........cause seeing it was like being 5 years old again......drinking in the magic and wonder of Christmas.
I want to share this great clip...........trying to keep my focus on the Reason for the Season all month long..............hope you enjoy it!
An old pal's Mom shared this clip with me........
nice to enjoy sights and sounds of Christmas from a Distance, if you easily get dizzy, just close your eyes and listen...........xoxo
If this does not give you chills nothing will..... The true sound

Wonderful, marvelous, excellent, outstanding & moving video.
Sorry to hear you are dealing with so many issues. I\'m in the same boat.
Christmas is tomorrow for me but it does look like it will be wet here in NC just like in Georgia.
Hope you feel better soon.
Absolutely lovely video, amazing how these songs of love and Christ just pull people together.... Hugs, bird lady...thinking of you.. .xxoo
I\'m sorry to hear your arthritis pain is flaring up. And your \"iffy\" vision must be very frustrating - do you know what\'s causing that? I know the frustration of not being able to get to the store and get what I need - is it that much to ask!?! I loved the video - my heart lept with joy and I shed tears of gratitude for the gift of the Savior born on Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing it - I needed a \"pick me up\".
Really enjoyed the clip at the end....and noticed that some of the many people stopped and listened...connected to our humanness even if it was just for a little bit. Serce...sometimes nothings helps but a good vent. Sorry to hear your not feeling good.Glad the neighbors lights helped a bit..I enjoy the lights this time of year as well..Good night friend. Hope your sleeps is a good one. and greenies
I have decided that was your xmas award winning funniest journal ever , you know how much I feel for your pain, but Ruthie girl you are so funny.I don\'t think I can shed another tear now today.And wow the video was major beautiful, so spiritually uniting, really moving Just see what you do for us !
Oh that video was wonderful! I sang right along with it!! I love it when people get together and openly praise God and sing about Jesus in public!! It just does my heart good!!
You keep that sparkling personality out there, takin care of Green Acres, and I\'ll pray that you feel SO much better than that polecat, by the end of the day!
Sure do love ya!!
That film clip took my breath away! (or is that breathe?) Either way I sure was speechless........at least, briefly!
Thanks for sharing it with us all/cj
