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.

How cool it was to list Syr as my next of kin at the hospital!

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

Sassy · 01-11-2012, 11:52 AM

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 think I just cracked the bone in my neck that has been hurting me and limiting my movement since boxing day. Two trips to the chiro... nope not fixed. A good solid hour on the phone getting stressed over a stupid program that worked BEFORE they installed updates... three IT's later... and a bend of the arms behind my back, a tilt of my head... and yup I can turn my head left... thanks stress, you rock... <insert sarcastic smiley here>

Operation Cheer Mum Up.
It begins later today, going to get her out the house, to our local old book store, keep her in tea as long as she wants, get her cookies and get her talking to distract her and make her feel better
I keep telling her I love her, on the phone and via text.
Mum's my best friend in so many ways, I hate seeing her like this.
No matter what's going on in my life right now, making her happier is my main goal.

I am wiped out ... Thinking about crawling in bed early and how nice it will feel.

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

Sassy · 01-12-2012, 11:17 AM

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 ????

princessbelle · 01-12-2012, 02:59 PM

Warm cuddles and lots of laughter on a very cold day. Fire is going, soup is simmering on the stove. It makes the cold temps tolerable on the outside when it's so wonderful on the inside.

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.

Kenna · 01-12-2012, 11:30 PM

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?

sharkchomp · 01-12-2012, 11:37 PM

I just watched Betty White on Jay Leno. She's having a special on tv Monday for her 90th birthday party. Talk about beauty transending the ages. I absolutely adore her. She did Saturday Night Live last year and I think it was the best SNL I've seen in over a decade. She is such a pro at comedic timing. She's truly an icon
