keep warm and safe!

hey you.....

laying low in my hideout.  got mighty cold last night...the chill of winter is upon us.  praying for all the tender blooms of spring at the mercy of this weather.

are you hanging in there?  do you have mostly what you need?  bases sort of covered and all that?  i just opened a stack of mail and felt useless overall.  but now i see what there is to do......at a later date.  hopeful for energy's return, enough to manage the necessities of life.

for you, for me.......for the world at large.  so many struggle.....so many.  i'm doing chores right now, sitting in a glorious early spring ensemble of wet hair, warm nightie, grape sweater with blue and ivory threads interwoven and of course slippers.......well done me!  ha ha ho ho heee heeeeeee.  i'm not losing my mind just being silly....yes, i promise, pinky swear i fact.

pray all the OWLS have a good gathering today.......can't even pretend to go, this marks month two of no owls and no bible study, but i did get to go to a ladies meeting at church last monday.....thanks to debbie for taking me there and back,  for being a pal.

my dreams are all inclusive....the strangest things.  dreamt (is dreamt a word in any language? did i make it up?) well i dreamed that rio was sitting on the stovetop.....that it was too warm, that he couldn't extricate his cat self off the burner.....and yet he was not hurt.....i, however felt very alarmed....i was thinking that if i could get a spatula out of the drawer i could save rio......but i couldn't seem to make it to that drawer.......to Rio.  if this means something seriously off in my genetic dream make up i don't want to know. it was soooo not right to dream that or to remember it either.  i think of all the dreams i don't remember, why couldn't this be one of those?

life goes on.....laundry is being laundered.  almost out of eggs.  i must eat too many eggs.  duh....remember that commercial about the incredible edible egg? 

finally said last rights over the remainder of the endless meat loaf.  i just couldn't face another day of it.....i played taps over it with my lips in a comical pose and that was that.  down to the trash it went. 

today marked the beginning of a new toothbrush, i know right??? big events happening up in here!  what else?  dunno,  just out of it.  not really wonky just struggling after being in bed so much.  it wipes me out to be up and yet i have to strive to keep going, keep doing and to continue to take pride in my home, this nest even though it's really mostly fo me and those wee little meowers.

speaking of meowers, one of them inaugurated a new throw rug in the kitchen with kitty barf.  uckkkkkkkkkkkkkk x's a billion .....gross.  reason no.42,351 of why i do more laundry than the average bear.  sara's cat barfed on their bed ...... cried piteously in his distress......woke them both up......in the middle of the night.  took sara 5 hours to get back to sleep.

she performed at another wedding last friday night.  she likes it although learning so many songs so quickly is hard for me to comprehend.....as much as i love singing i have the memory of a gnat.  pretty much always have struggled when it comes to memorization.  i'm  one of those eejits who makes up my own lyrics when push comes to shove so i don't have to spend a lifetime hating my limited brain power.  i try not to overdo this pathetic questionable skill around others because although i am in tune it really ticks off people who CAN REMEMBER ALL THE WORDS.   yeah, ok i am a little/lot/always sort of jealous of those who can. but i don't think about it ever, unless it's right now....or some other time.

wishing there was home delivery of eggs......oh hey, have you noticed a serious drop in egg prices lately?  the last time i bought them it cost me $1.06 for 18 eggs.  two cartons of 18 were only $1.68.......that is insane even for anywhere.......what caused this big drop in price?  (got them at walmart btw)

ok that's all from here for now....i'm trying to gear up the wahoo to put fresh sheets on the bed.  but first i have to gear up the strength to get them out of the closet......this is a sign of us.  that we have to pre gear up for so many things......we never knew til we were this kind of sick how much gearing up, how many steps there would be........my homemade wind chime of antique spoons hangs out side my kitchen window and i sure could use those spoons in my tank today to get 'er done.

we can only do what we can only do.......yeah i love ya........be cool but keep warm! 

grateful for:

a  warm nest on a cold day.

hot water from the shower.

the shower......fresh clothes.

the washer, the dryer......for so many conveniences.....

for friendship.....for life........sstarting to feel like the world's oddest longest alcohol free toast.

trying to remember the last time i had any .....alcohol that is.....yes, even us sick people can make jokes.  maybe not good jokes but jokes.......xoxoxoxoxoxooxox
