Various Snatches of Catch Up

April 27, 2011 - 03:31

Music: Love Song for a Vampire - Annie Lennox
Mood: Tired, restless, and almost head achey. Frustrated that there seems to be so much still left to do.

So I seem to be stuck on the once a month updates ... Sort of. Hopefully that will change soon. Just hard to find the peace that  I need to write. But that could be getting better. The urge to write, the inspiration has been improving ... I just need to deal with the distractions. Too many ends ... and I want them all. Maybe this is why most writers seem to be recluses with very few around to make sure their needs are tended. It makes more sense now. All I need to achieve this ... is win the lottery. Ah, well, this is what makes me a suffering artist, right?

So much to catch up on and I've forgotten most of it already. LOL! Figures ...

Let's see, then ... I flew out to Victoria to drive Mom back. Stopped by Pender to see a few friends and to pick up my things ... only to leave with practically none of it. Nameless has a lot to answer for. I won't go into it now, 'cause I have bad dreams when I go to bed angry. But I will say this. She's been "divorced" from my life. I refuse to acknowledge her as family anymore. Between Mom and myself, she owes us about $2000. We'll never see it, nor will we ever get closure for the trauma that she put us through.

Getting a bad tummy ... time to calm down. Maybe this is a sign that my period will be on time this month. that will be a change from the 6 week wait, and then a 7 week wait the last couple of months. Yes, an on time period is a happy thought ... and at my age, it's not just for the usual reason.

BUBBLES!! :)

Surprised Mom on Easter morning! Made much easier, of course, by the night hours my job keeps me in ... I got home at 02:00. Put a couple baskets together, plonked them down on our chairs in the living room and went to sleep about 3. Was then woken up about 8 ... Mom had found her basket and was so excited ... LOL! One of the items in the basket was coloured bubbles ... thankfully, they are washable, because it a breezy on the balcony and Mom has forgotten how to blow bubbles (horrors) so it was a bit messy. More fun that way though, I think. She had a blast.

On the rough side, Simon is starting to pee on everything. Mom is worried about an infection. Personally,  I think he does it to demand attention. Ah, well, my bedroom door stays shut so it's Mom's worry. She'll deal with it as she sees fit. I can't be the adult all the time.

If you have the chance to get your hands on a pumice stone, I recommend it. I have such pretty feet now. :)

My casual diet was seriously interrupted by Easter. Had a rough spot that I answered with Barq's, instead of water ... not helping. But I've caught myself now ... back to getting healthier. More water. No pop at work. At all. (Not helped by the chocolate going around, but it's a step in the right direction again.) I've started new vitamins ... and I know they are working already ... mostly because I've already reacted. And my pee glows in the dark now too. LOL! Too much info? Nah ...

Now that I have a vehicle to work with, some things have gotten easier. Like transport for work. Groceries and errands. Speaking of errands, I finally got that final Hostess product to Lavender. Her Beltane present was tucked inside it, so  I hope she finds it in time. She was away on a trip with her hubby, so her Dad informed me that she would be back soon. He didn't find it odd that I dropped by out of the blue, but then I don't know that he would. :) It's been completely silent on her end since that post. I even texted Easter wishes. Ah, well. If that's how it's going to play out, then she can play it alone. I will not apologise for being me.

Going to focus on making lunches for work, instead of buying supper each shift. Amazing how boring the food gets in a short span of time. Especially as there's only so much I can order that I can eat in 20 minutes. Rushing is making me fat. So, now more. Going to focus on sandwiches and left overs.

Speaking of focus, I should get to bed ... after I finish folding the laundry from this afternoon, which is effectively hiding the bed. I'm not above crawling under it all, mind you, but that's just lazy, and I'm trying not to do that.

Bed time!
Sweet Dreams!
