I am loving this beautiful, mild winter we are having in T-Town. Makes my heart happy.

how nice a good bourbon would taste right now next to this toasty fire. Do I want to drive and get it? No. Hmmmm but I have hot chocolate! Bourbon buzz or sugar rush? That is the question.

Really worried about my Mum right now, haven't seen her this unhappy in a long time and there's hardly anything I can do to help her other than by being an ear and shoulder to cry on whenever she needs it. I feel so inadequate, she's always there for everyone else and now she needs help, where are they all?? People need to stop and take a damn good look at themselves and really see how their selfishness hurts others. I love my Mum more than I can ever say and right now I want to grab these feckers by the scruffs of their necks and give them sucj a bloody good shake. Mess with Mum and you're messing with me ... Being an adult can really fucking suck some days!

The weekend lol:byebye:

I think I figured out why I dislike cold winters so much. Aside from the obivious reasons, poor driving conditions, frostbite, high energy bills... its much deeper than that. I have been sitting here thinking about it and I realize,how much I love this mild weather. And why. I feel free! When its bitter cold and snow, ice I feel trapped. Even in fall I feel the great weight of impending doom. Like a dog tied up on a very short chain. Stuck. Trapped. Restrained.
Hmmm very interesting. The gypsy and the Sag in me needs to feel free . Unless I chose the short chain of my own free will. Makes no sense to anyone I'm sure, but it makes all the sense in the world to me.

Today I am 10 years clean and sober. I was awake and present for every single moment, good and bad. What a blessing!

What's good about a mandatory week off with no pay? Well, let me see if I can find something positive to say:
I have a job to return to when the furlough is over and I have some savings to float me through the future half-paycheck.
I get a week off w/my SO when we really need time together to reconnect and communicate.
And... I finally have time to get my hair done, put up the rest of the holiday decor, repair the dining room table, install a closet system and organize the shed so we can put together that table saw. *laughs*
If I'm lucky the rain will stop and I'll be able to spend time at the park on a blanket with a good book or walking the li'l dog. (Never a long walk w/those short, arthritic legs these days. But she gets SO excited :) )
oh, Ima be a busy bee! :)

I enjoy being visible. But I am not clueless. The visibility goes both ways. I know and I am aware.

Sagittarius: Others see you as a go-to person to get things done today because you currently won't take no for an answer. You can untangle knotty problems and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles because you know how important it is to succeed now. Although your optimism might result in performances beyond your own expectations, you could take your enthusiasm too far. It's a gift to feel so confident, but your self-assuredness might backfire if you act too boldly. Thankfully, toning down your exuberance prevents alienating your allies while still allowing you to make your point.

how am I ever going to make it til June to be with hym ????

If gewurztraminer cured mittelschmerz, I'd be set.

You're just a short two weeks away from relief.

Really worried this nasty wind storm is gonna blow the house off the foundation and all the way to Kansas! !.... I don't have cable or and way to get weather warnings... and no basement to hide in... no room without any windows for a safe room and with LOTS of huge trees around house and over car port.... I HATE WIND STORMS!!! more than any other weather storms and hate floods. The house is cold tonight because I cut down heat before leaveing for work....I'm gonna go cuddle with the dog and pray that they don't issue a tornado warning!

Sweet, looks like you're almost done, it will be colder than usual, wind is from the west. Can you sleep on the east side of your house? Have extra blankets to cover the windows in that room?
Thinking about you, trusting you will be ok.

I'm in the middle of a wind storm, perched on top of a hill... with a Verizon tower just a stones through away... yet my weather app says "wind ---MPH"... I wonder if the tower got blown to Kansas?

I do not understand why people have pets, when they do not take care of them....For the past 2 weeks we have been feeding the neighborhood cat, who cries at our door. Tonight he brought his buddy along and well the temperature has dropped down in the low 40's, so I found 2 boxes cut holes in them and put blankets inside. Fed them both, gave them water and a catnip toy for each. I sure hope they climb inside and stay warm tonight. I so hate to see these beautiful animals neglected, if I could I would take in all the stray and neglected animals I could....

It is 24 degrees outside at 4:30 a.m. and I cannot find my beanie! :(

In the middle of what I consider bad news and impending doom on the gay rights / marriage issues... we get this ray of light:

Love ya all , I don't care if you don't like me , you are my community :)
 

hello planet !

update from the monster house . Since Monday we won the case , we are still not relax . It seems we all falling apart with a little , but annoying things after all the stress we have been through .

My son it's overwhelmed with everything with his business ,his costumers and his family. . Also , the immigration lost his drivers licence and of course he is paranoid driving with a piece of paper from DMV ,
My daughter in law found out from her OBGYN she it's a high risk pregnancy( a long story) .

Today my son took me to the dentist which I am religious to go on regular bases . My dentist send me to specialist since was more complicated . We did accomplish the care , but my mouth feels like a 18 wheeler ran through . Antibiotics , prednisone and Tylenol # 3 for the pain . I tried just plain Tylenol , but it feels my half face its just not functioning too well .

We scheduled my son's and his family move to my house in two weeks . We are giving away couches , washers and dryers which we have a four of them. I myself have two laundry rooms . WTH I need it for . we are giving away much more . I wish planet people would come and unloaded me from a lot of stuff . I don't even think it's worth it to ship stuff to other states for ones they loss they jobs and they are in need .. Since I really didn't adopt a family in this holiday season , I will donate to people in need . .

Also , which it's so much important to me , I want to support planet people as they supported to me while I was thinking it was end of my life if my son got deported . I am sorry and I apologizes that I am not on Internet as I used to be right now . I don't care if you like me or not , but if you post something that hurts my heart , I will be there for you . Please , do not take my actions on the website as selfish , just to take and don't give a back . I honestly will as a soon I get my life in order .


Right now I am not into fluff threads , my life has been disturbed over something of 17 yrs. ago and I need get myself together and even understand where is a difference from a communist country and the dream country of the USA .


much love to you all

Made homemade marsala sauce last night with (Yum!) baby portabellas and some nice mushroom and 4 cheese ravioli. (Ravioli came from the store. LOL.) Got the spare room cleaned up and prettified. Back patio has been de-leafed. *laughs* I got to use a leaf blower for the first time yesterday and it was entirely too amusing :) Wine is chilling in the fridge and premaking the lasagna tonight. Now to tackle the floors in the house. Nearly set for tomorrow's evening of relaxation. :)

oh yeah ... and ...

Sagittarius: An ongoing domestic disagreement may be temporarily set aside today as an amicable agreement is reached. However, the underlying tension could still be present and will need to be handled eventually. Placing your differences of opinion on hold doesn't mean that your current conversations have to be superficial. Establishing sufficient common ground allows you to make steady progress on other issues of concern that can be resolved at this time.

that is lovely. good for you. some times just a nice visit with our friends remind us of simple joy of life. :)

all that I am missing and how i am getting it back :D :P

edited to add... I really wanna got to that BBQ and hang with the two of them and celebrate her BDAY!
how lucky I am to have made that friendship! will be thinking of them all day :)

Wondering if I'll ever meet my dream girl. She's hot, brunette, Latina or Italian, happy and has the nicest smile. Now that's a dream. :)
