The day has been another "sort of odd" day. I slept in til 9:30 and then got up and had some coffee to get my brain going and then my body followed it out to the kitchen for toast.
I washed two blankets last night, after he left, so I took them down this morning and oh they smelled so sweet! I then decided to spend sometime online as it was quiet in here.
After he got up, we went to Burger King for lunch, he wanted to treat me to lunch and asked where I wanted to go. I told him usually I do choose when asked, however today had no preference so he chose.
LOL, I had a Texas Double Whopper! took me about half an hour to eat it!! Won't choose that sandwich again :)
We decided to come home and read the Sunday paper and take it easy as 1. there was too much traffic and people out there to try to navigate around, and 2. This coming week will be hectic and a bit stressful.
I helped him with changing the linens on his bed as it goes quickly that way, and then I washed a blanket of his and my white wool rug. Love that rug, it's so soft and comfortable.
Also did one load with his heavy quilted flannel shirt and some slacks and then I headed for the kitchen.
Put a pot roast in the oven with carrots and potatoes and husked the corn I picked out a few days ago. It's some of the sweetest corn we've ever had.
The dishes had to get done, and also the radishes needed to be prepped so I had quite a bit of time in the kitchen..
I have to admit I love coming into my home now and smelling the fresh fragarance of clean clothing!
Tomorrow afternoon will be at the U of M for a fitting for the lower partial and then will have to try to keep the "anxiety demons" at bay.
Last night as I slept I dreamed the dentist took a 3 foot hose and put it in my mouth, I thought it was for rinsing my mouth or sucking out the water, however it looked like blood and tasted like Hawiian Punch! Turns out it was a mouth wash that was full of antibiotics and he sent me home. Then when I came back the next day, the dentist was almost 2 hours late so he got all huffy when I asked him if he'd had a busy day. When my son tried to give me a hug good by, the dentist yelled at him and told him to keep away so I don't get any infection or germs on me. Then the dentist decided he didn't have time to do the surgery and that's when I woke up.
The dream doesn't sound bad, it just was very scary in the dream, like I was in danger.
Heck, I sat there awake when they pulled 3 teeth, so surely going to sleep to have 9 pulled won't be so bad...will it???
Those sweet little baby girls are doing wonderful after their seperation surgery. Now THERE'S something to worry and pray about!
Yesterday the sun appeared for about 15 minutes! it's trying now to make an appearance and yep, it's a gonna shine :)
there be sunshine onboard! We sure need it after 3 1/2 days of rain!
My other website I blog at is acting all wonky again. Can't count on it to be there. What's new?
I think tonight I"m going to break with tradition and take a long bubble bath instead of a shower. I sure need to relax. If I had wine in the house you can bet I"d have a good sized goblet of it in my hand!
Well it's about time to go and put my feet up and catch my breath, so to speak. Tonight is the finale of my favorite show, Survivor, and I'm looking forward to that. It'll be a long 4 months until the next season. I REALLY wish they'd have a season with JUST middle-aged people. That would end all this garbage with the 20 year olds voting off the older ones. That gets, no it IS old...
Have a great Monday all and be good to each other.

Damn this blasted depression....I go along just fine for awhile, talking to people, living my quiet little life and then BANG!
Memories come flooding back, sometimes triggered by an innocent remark or innocent look and the tears are right at the surface, ready to flood my face, leaving no trace of make up and no doubt as to the state of my mind.
Usually winter is the hardest to cope with, dark grey days of cold air and ice everywhere, punctuated with snow dropping like so many blankets, smothering the earth.
Spring is wonderful, with the birds singing, grass coming up green, trees leafed out and the smell of lilacs wafting down the neighborhood streets...
kids are playing outside, happy to be out of their homes for periods of time longer than just getting off the bus and running pellmell for a warm house.
The family across the street is putting in their yearly flower display, and it's better than any Christmas display I've ever seen! The elderly gentleman next door to me got out this device that churns up the dirt and he worked steadily all morning making the earth ready forhis crop of tomatoes and green beans. Him and his wife told me I can use some of their yard for tomato plants and whatever else I want to plant.
The House Finches have settled comfortably into their nest on my air conditioner and now sit on the shepard's hook and the male sings while the whole time he's looking straight into our living room. I try to copy a few notes by whistling, and he'll sing a few more. So I add a few more notes and then he bursts into outrageous song!
I told one of my lady friends that these birds have trained me very well, when they want to be fed, they start screaming and screeching, one ever flew into my patio door, thinking it was just sky, and had quite a tumble. The poor baby got up, walked a few steps, hopped a few, then took off flying ok. So anyway when they want seed they let me know!
The two teachers across the hall are moving out and the landlord said we can take their garage as it's right outside our apt. Right now we have to walk all the way down the parking lot on the far end, and it's ok 3 seasons out of 4.
So what's wrong you say? a little bit of insight into my own behavior has left me rather saddened, disappointed in my self, not liking aspects of who I am, what I was, and how I am....
time is short, I need to cut this short. Maybe early morning will be better for this task...

Ahhhhhhhh, sunshine on our faces today! Almost a week of rain and finally it's true springtime. The apple blossoms and cherry blossoms are in full bloom, especially the cherry blossoms are luxurious in their dark pink shades and the grass is such a deep green.
I've done wash every single day since I got the washing machine and even the bedding and blankets are done.
A couple of days ago we went to the feed mill here in town, it's rather a pricey one, ( so we don't get too much there.) and I got a shepard's hook, bird feeder, and some seed to go with the finch's "feed sock."
there's a sparrow of some kind sitting on it right now, chirping between bites of seed. The grackles have tried to sit on the feeder however they're too big for it and they get it rocking back and forth! and then they tumble down, wings just a flapping!
Next spring I'd love to build or get a wooden birdfeeder that the cardinals and bluejays could sit on. The house finches have a nest on my airconditioner and chase away any birds that come looking to steal their nest or eggs. Those house finches are mighty scrappy!
This coming week I"m going to a neighboring town to renew my permanent fishing license, then head off to a ladie's luncheon. I'm bringing hotdogs, potato salad, and he's bringing chips and my chili I cooked two nights ago. I guess I better throw some chopped onion and cheese into the cooler also. The others will bring cake, pop, buns, and whatever they want.
I hope to get some fishing done this summer. There's a volunteer group that takes disabled adults, and seniors too, on fishing trips with volunteers on a pontoon. They provide the gear and tackle, pontoon, and guides. I just have to get there! How awesome is that??!
The week of the 15th I'll be going to the dentist at the U of M Monday through Thursday! Monday will be another day of working on that lower partial to get it just right, then Tuesday the 16th is the oral surgery, all my upper teeth get pulled and an interimmediate denture goes in place over the sutures. They said it's just like a bandaid, YA...right....ok. So, then it's all downhill until??? hopefully NO MORE surgeries!!!
The plant I got at the grocery store is growing like it thinks it's a weed!! It's a Cyclamen, it did have heady dark rose red blooms, now it's just shooting straight up! Probably needs some fertilizer. My huge geranium is the same way, real leggy looking, too long on the vines, and the leaves are small. The Palm is making a comeback, finally! That dang Pointsetta looks great, needs repotting like most of my plants, wonder if I can get it to bloom for Christmas this year?
Well I've had quite a rest here now, time to get back to housework, the dishes are already done, garbage is out, my bed made, the last load of wash is done, just need to re-arrange all the" stuff" that came out of the utility room to make rooom for the washer! Most of it will go into the garage, and some into the coat closet.
I'll put my dinette set out on the patio, love to eat outside in good weather.
Have a great weekend :) oxoxox
