so....what are your plans this weekend?

that's what bruce likes to ask.  what are your plans this week end?  so maybe today i'll answer him indirectly, via a journal he will never see.

when i'm able i'll hit the rain room......it's a marvelously short distance from the bed to the room of rain.......i can use ingenious devices like the safety bars and shower seat to steady my mission of clean and shiny.  happily i am less wobbily today, so i feel safe showering in the morning.  yay.

at some point i'll free the wet items encased in the metal machine in the laundry room.  release them into it's nearest neighbor......a small tiny space where warm air delights the senses of all things cotten........fluffing and gently creating happy floaty thoughts.  a strange meditation area where the round and round causes a trancelike state for the fabrics of our lives.

i poured blue liquid onto the breakfast dishes......and relived the simple joys of breaking eggs into a bowl.  that satisfying thunk the shell makes as it breaks.......the marvel of those perfect little eggs bringing protein into my life in such a delicious happy bright yellow way. 

thoughout the week end i will take short journeys from the isle of the room of alive to the outlying areas just beyond.......the room of food magic, the tiny island of soft blue bed........when i sit and look beyond i see the beauty of summer fade, the loveliness of autumn approaching. 

i will play lion tamer with mia and provide happy neck rubbing to the delight of rio.......soothe his inner savage beast.  i will vow to give mia a manicure and probably falter in that duty again today.  still trying to work up the nerve to trim her claws.  everytime i walk anywhere near the bed little mia thinks it's a grand game.......this is not my favorite game at all.   i tidy the pillows, she sees naked toes and pounces.  gotta wear footwear at all times around this new little miss.  my feetsies have a lot of tiny little scratches from this game. 

i will think about many things....like why not bake a chocolate cake today? or why not make mashed potatoes and baby carrots so i don't have to cook much over the next few days. or hey, cut the melon and celery up so it's ready to eat.......will i do these things or will that same lethargy hold me hostage again today?

i will think about putting lotion on my dry skin......and about putting vaseline and cotton socks on my feet.  but i doubt that i will.......i will want to, but not enough to do it.  lazy or disabled.  somewhere in between.

i need to put moisturiser on my face......my skin is so dehydrated.  poor skin.  ahhhhhh.  needs lotion, rise up and do this in care of you.  ok, i'm listening. 

how's my week end shaping up so far?  really exciting i know......action packed high seas adventure awaits at every turn!!!!  if they had all these options at disney they would never be able to close, they'd have to be open 24/7 to accomodate all the shower crazed, happy walking limited distances folks from everywhere.......there'd  be canes for everyone.........and super charged ready to race electric carts.......close parking FOR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!! 

i'll turn on the tv and see how many bad movies there are......and hope to find a gem or two in the mix.  we'll call it theater day and pretend we're getting all dressed up and going out.  only you and i will know it's really jammies and comfy slippers for all.......we can pretend our beds are really deck chairs on the decks of great ships on the way to all of our most favorite decadent destinations.  places where we can sink our toes into soft pink sand..........or wild black sand on the coast of some exotic shore.  oh the places we will see, the places we will go.

my own little amusement park at home......my own church, entertainment palace......napping extravaganza, the mighty land of zzzzzzzzz's, you name it we can imagine it to life up in here.........a place where resting is rewarded with quiet go you kinds of cheers .......a place where you can have your very own pretend chef,  masseur.......visitors of all kinds.  helpful, kind, solicitous.......there for you however you need all day all week end......

i'm temporarily transfixed......at the back of the lot there is this thing......it looks like a large leaf from here....but what is it?  it is dancing and turning above the ground........from one side to the other.....a distance of several feet.  it goes so far and then begins to dance and turn back to the other side......the motion draws me in and i can't seem to stop staring. 

what is holding that single leaf up?  why does it turn and dance within a distance from just above the ground and from left to right for all of three feet repeatedly for ten minutes?......and then it's just gone.  if i want to investigate i have to dress......go out there.........into the land of outside spaces.  i'd have to be a cowgirl........walk the back 40......be brave. 

tired now, gotta rest a while.  your silly putty pal in georgia.
