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 ????
