that darn cat!

mia is the most athletic crazy kitty ever.......after she knocked over a vase of roses i thought were too far for her to get into i moved both vases to the top of the refrigerator.  hah......mia is thwarted, the roses of this small kingdom are safe!

um......but ah no!  not safe.......that mia!  i came into the kitchen and saw the funniest sight.......a long stemmed rose was dangling at a precarious angle hanging slightly against the top of the cupboards........not sure how it was staying attached where it was, but it did.

somehow mia had to have made it to the top of the kitchen cupboards.....then scampered over to the top of the frig.......the frig top  holds 5 plants, plus decorative items, not a lot of open space at all.......the two vases were at the front......crowded but what i thought would be safe.......i plucked the dangling rose from it's odd perch and placed it back in some water......she was able to get that rose out of a crystal vase, not break it or knock it over this time.......she tried so hard.......crazy darn kittums.  now i know what mia will do for a snack of fresh rose petals........!

kicked off the day with bacon and eggs.  i don't know why the yolk is so delicious but it is.  yummmmm.  it's 9:22 am.  still early......watching househunters......i alternate between happiness when the house hunters are open minded and grateful to almost full on disgusted by the greedy thoughtless hunters.....what they call a total gut job is so not.........they seem silly and wasteful to me so much of the time.  some of them act like it's the absolute first time they've been in any kind of house.......is this the bathroom?  what was your first clue? the um uh duh commode????  a room at the front of the house and they say i can't imagine anyway we could use this........while i understand that people live in their homes somewhat differently these days the lack of imagination kills me......a room is a space filled with possibilities......make it into a creative space where you just dream if nothing else so you can develop your imagination.

they walk into a living space and if the room has any angles at all they can't figure out how anyone could possible decorate it and then there are those who can't figure out how to decorate if the room isn't predecorated for them.  does this mean they grew up in spaces sans sofas and chairs and coffee tables and side tables.....they've never decided which wall would be best for the tv or their books or ????  seriously people.  get a clue.

i just watched an episode of a family in arkansas who bought what they are calling a "farmhouse."  it was a mini mc mansion not a farmhouse like any farmhouse i've ever seen.  it was very fancy and yes it had rustic elements throughout, however it was fancy dancy doo, not a soft sweet  homey space......it was massive and cost many many many many dollars and for what?  makes me wonder if i had the money would i go crazy and get a mc mansion somewhere?  hmmmmm.......seems so not what i would ever do.

if i had the money to go all out crazy i think i would create a family compound and live with my siblings.......that would be something. 

dreaming is something i do less and less of anymore.......didn't hear back from Resurgens regarding the next step on Thursday or Friday.......i guess i'll check in with my insurance company on monday and see.......

today is another day........just one more to have, get through, chill out in.  if i go anywhere i won't be able to go to the owls luncheon on wednesday.  so i need to stay put.   fight this restlessness........

despite sleeping from 11 last night to after 8:30 i am exhausted.  overall generally whipped.......and yet restless.  maybe today i can do one thing.....so many honey do's to pick from.  my bedroom closet is driving me nuts, i have two new empty planters to fill up......i could sweep or dust or something.  i could use the garden hose to wash off the front porch furniture......i could but will i do any of these things?

i was driving by the public pool in dacula recently and noticed two wide spread handlebars going into the pool.  that got me to thinking....if there are handrails, there must be steps. if there are steps i could walk into the water, slowly, but still i could do it, i could swim there.  this pool is sooooo close to me.  so i called them, there are a half dozen steps into the water plus they also have that thing you sit in and they can lower you into the pool should one need that ......all this time this pool option was so close.  it's a great thing and one more thing to shake off........if the info was on the county website i could have gone there a long time ago.  the info provided makes it sound like it is not usable for disabled people, but they are not specific enough.........disabilty is more than one definition.  sigh.........not trying to be a butthead, but i think of the times i went swimming and had to drive all the way to rhodes jordan......this smaller pool is sooooooooo much closer, think 7 minutes instead of a half hour each way.  more energy to swim, less energy needed for the trip.  it cost $3.25 to swim or it can be even cheaper with a prepaid fun pass........good to know. 

all by myself, don't wanna be all by myself anymore.......i am not afraid of the solitude, i've always been able to self entertain and find things to do but too much alone is toooooo much al one.  later y'all, hugs, and prayers!
