thursday 9/17

another new day.  rained all night, continues to rain.

i'm up, showered......puttering.

dishes done, laundry going.......refilled plastic bottles containing shampoo/conditioners.  tidied the bed........thought about sweeping, so far no want to do......but it's there, it's a should do.......gotta turn it into a can do.

cleaned my jewelry......this company makes dazzle drops......so easy.  just add ten drops of cleaner, hot water, let soak for a bit, then clean the jewels with a soft white brush, rinse and let air dry.  tah dah!  good job!

i'm a firm believer that we need to give ourselves props, gold stars, applause and say you go girl!  it inspires me to continue taking good care of my very own disabled self.  to find ways to balance productivity with rest.....all necessary.

i ordered chinese food yesterday.  a veggie dish and a chicken dish........i like to mix the two or eat them separately to add variety.  little things to break up the sameness......the washer has done it's job!  a hearty thank you for appliances that take care of us! and for POWER.  my power went out earlier today, but only for a moment.  i was suddenly in the dark, first thought?  i got a shower first if i have to get out for any reason.     

i watched two movies last night and one documentary.  the documentary was about a murder case in Grant's Pass......Oregon I think?  strange troubling case........then i watched light and airy......I Feel Pretty.....about a girl who isn't the model industry's idea of pretty, but due to a bonk on the head she wakes and believes that she is transformed into a rapturous beauty.......filled with confidence and awe.........it changes the way she sees herself, the world.......changes the minds of many       ........interesting and fun-ish.

then i watched the Peanut Butter Falcon......a mark twain kind of tale of hope and redemption.......i found myself on the adhd side as the story unfolded.......had to get up and play bubble games on the computer for awhile to shake off the can't be still time .....hits pretty much daily and i need a change of pace and yet can't physically do much......like jumping jacks or ballroom dancing or cartwheels or leap frogging or somersaults.  gotta push through without breaking anything....in the house or my very own must have intact bones. 

i beat my last best score.  yayyyyyyyy!

no, i'm not very good, but that doesn't really bother me at all.......!

my phone is ringing but everytime i check it it's spam or  unavailable........not much reason to rise and see who's calling anymore.  so sad. 

the rain continues steadily on.  hello rain......you are welcome here!  would  you like an umbrella? 

have only a few slices of bread left. time to get eggs.......and fruit.  discovered that i like the kroger brand of yogurt, it's got a very light flavor which could be more intense, but it's so creamy.........seriously creamy yogurt becomes a lilghtly fruited pudding.....interesting!  not sure how they make it extra creamy......and at such a low price point!  go kroger!

i've puzzled about one of my friends.  when we first met she was excited about having a new friend.....loved to talk, was very animated and then it seemed to change.  she was going through something difficult then on top of that she was injured, so it made sense overall......and yet i felt it was something that had caused our friendship to change.  yesterday i called her about something......she said she had to go she had an incoming call.  ok........she called back and still her effect was flat.    we talked for a few minutes and then she said she had to get back to her chores.  it's all normal and yet not.  it's the way she talks to me most of the time.......flat, not engaged.  i don't know if it is me or if she is depressed.  confusing.  when we're together, three of us hanging out she seems fine......but the one of one with me is just not the same.  she doesn't confide like before.......somehow i feel i've done or said something but since she won't tell me.........i've asked her directly and she etiher says no or ignores the question. so at that point one has to stop and accept what she is saying.........friendship is precious and rare for a girl like me who rarely gets out......has limited ability to do so........and then there was this thing called covid that shut 94% of my world down.

and then to my surprise my church is having indoor church again.  as of last sunday........what?  seriously i mean what?  i have no clue why they are doing this.  makes me confused and sad.  and concerned.

chris the exterminator is coming today to 86 all things buggy.  in the week before he comes the dark magic wears off and suddenly there are small creepy crawlies coming out of the woodwork and i don't like this at all.  not one bit.......there was this prehistoric creepy crawly with a lot of feathery looking legs slinking along my kitchen sink and it freaked me out.  gave me the genuine heebie jeebies.  aaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh gross, go away stat!

time to stop writing and watch a little tv.  rest and put my feet up a spell.........hope you are doing well, having a good day!  be kind to yourself!  love your life and if you have them, your pets!  ok, yes, of course family too......i don't have anyone here to love on........so i love them from afar!!!!!
