<<~ at first, earlier when I crawled into bed to snuggle with my pillows, I drifted off into a deep sleep. But somewhere between then and now, I began to have this dream that turned into a nightmare of sorts. It all started with that "deserted island" post I made earlier with three things we wished we could have if some package came floating our way. I became terribly distressed when it wasn't a floating package with books, music or a movie to watch, but rather a boat with a flimsy set of directions, no binoculars and just one oar with a mysterious haiku type message scratched onto it, begging me to come over to some nearby island. Needless to say, I must have been thrashing in my sleep which caused to me to come awake, because I was lost at sea and began panic!

I hope I can fall asleep again. :praying:

<<~ Has been home for a bit after tending fires in the world of 'How to find a great job and get paid too.'

Is also being very, v e r y, quiet today because I want to soak in the late afternoon sunshine as I sit here reading and listening to music, but also because just being quiet feels good :)

<<~ woke up rather late today: I'm enjoying that small privilege right now since it's rare for me to sleep in late at all. It was very, very chilly last night (39 degrees?). The air is still laced with chillyness even though it's still the noon hour. Don't have any plans today; will continue with my morning routine, begin to think about what I will make for supper this evening, might even go for a walk in the sunshine today. For certain, today feels like another very, v e r y, quiet day.

feeling happy and excited and tired and looking forward to the future while checking email, Facebook, and BFP at lunch.

An Arcade Confession
 

<<~ Okay, Okay! I confess that I have had this obsession with trying to outdo the best score I had in the arcade from two years ago. So, I what I found out was this (see below):

Player Details for Kätzchen

1st place finishes: 0
2nd place finishes: 0
3rd place finishes: 0
TOP TEN finishes: 1

Total games in the arcade: 226
Total games I have played: 4 (out of 226 types of arcade games)

Total times I have played games in the arcade: 50, 2775


What's not true in the set of statistics above is that I *did* win 3rd place, two years ago. But someone else did a bit better than me, so that erased my lovely 3rd place finish. However, because I did win 3rd place at one time, I get to be in the category of placing once in the TOP TEN finishes.

The figure logged for how many times I have played my favorite card game to see if I can place again, as a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place winner, is accurate though (Minus a few Disco Bowling Ball games).

<<~ is having a cup of coffee w/ cream & cinnamon & honey this morning as I get ready for my day of activities and noticing how chilly it is outside; smoke from my neighbor's fireplace is spiraling toward the skies, which are cloudless - I can see for miles and miles (past the pine trees). It's probably about 44 degrees outside? It's chilly!

* Good Morning *

getting headache

<<~ Got up about an hour ago and found three email invitationals for interviews next week. This could mean that the proverbial tide is turning, but I'm being super cautious in feeling excited (for the moment).

I work tonight and also after seeing an amended work schedule for the next two weeks, I see I am working the night of Bob Dylan's concert and also working the opening pre-season night of Basketball - The Blazer's first game of the season.

Also, I am listening to an All India Radio playlist this morning. Currently playing: Black Satin. I wonder if this song would be the song that ends this season's episodes of DEXTER.

a Premonition, maybe?




* Good Morning *

:-(
 

<<~ is home sick: plans to gazelle around the universe with friends didn't work out today or for tomorrow. Don't wanna make them sick, too. Thought I'd come hang out and read and play come card games while I lay in bed with my pillows, hot tea and kleenex. :candle:

Busy day, finally home and eating dinner after not eating since breakfast (and several cups of coffee).

Watching Prometheus.

Had a great day with Niece, tostadas were excellent, time for tetris!!

<<~ Just got through making breakfast for myself: I made a smoked Salmon omlette and toasted 3 slices of Rosemary-Garlic bread (smeared with tons of butter). I am .... getting around for work. What I need right now is a tall cup of coffee w/ cream + honey + cinnamon + 4 shots of espresso and box of clementines to boost the Vit. C level I seem to lack today. My son must have read my mind, he just came out and asked me if I wanted some coffee ( I :stillheart: Mr. Ed).

My gf and I both grew up in minnesota, and now that we are both in state we love watching the Vikings games togather!! Its soo nice to have a gf that 1. Likes football 2. likes the same team as YOu 3. hates the packers just as much as you do!!


haha GO VIKES!!
