Hugs and DVDs

That was interesting. I walked into the house from therapy yesterday afternoon and Junior walked right up to me, threw his arms around me and hugged me strong for a good two minutes. I wasn’t expecting it, it caught me off guard. He didn’t say why and I didn’t ask so I have no idea what that was about.

Crazy Is How I Like ‘em

She called at 8am to deliver the news. I talked to her a total of 3 times today at which time a stress headache kicked in and my back seized up.

While talking to a friend about her I said,  this woman is out of her mind, totally bonkers. I should date her. She fits all the qualifications of every past crazy, out of her mind, should be institutionalized chick I’ve ever gone out with. She’s perfectly certifiable.

Dinner for two.

Picking Up The Slack

I’m pleased that Senior and Junior are picking up the slack while I’m in this flair up. Today Senior decided to do more detail work in the kitchen as well as the laundry room. Junior has been working more in the dining room. I appreciate it.

Gustave Gets A Boy

My little buddy went to his new home yesterday. I say little buddy but his last measurements were 29 inches from his back to the floor and 67 inches from nose to tail. I doubt he was little at birth! So anyway, the home he went to is with a 10 year old little boy and his mother. What I like about the woman is that she wanted specific things from a dog. She wanted a huge dog, male and one that would sleep next to her at night but be gentle enough to play with her son. She needed a dog she could trust alone in the house without destroying things or trying to kill the cat, she has two. What I like about her is she didn’t just want a dog, she needed a dog. There’s a huge difference between wanting and needing. She had specific things she needed from the dog. I really like that she didn’t want just anything.

Time and Energy

I want sleep but more than sleep I want escape. More than escape I want peace of mind. Right now I pretty much feel out of my head. I feel desperate. My hormones are out of control… again. Will I survive perimenopause then menopause itself? Will my roommates survive it?

My Sister’s Birthday

My sister turned 41 yesterday which explains the dream I had about her.

I had a dream she walked away from the family without notice. No one knew where she was and all began to lose hope that she was alive. We weren’t sure if she’d just left or if something bad happened to her. Four years later my mother and I got word she was sitting in at a lunch counter eating pizza with friends. When I heard this I was so upset.

40 Shades of Red

Wow, yeah, that was uncomfortable. Thursday my supervisor called and said she would be here to drop off a few things and to work with Mary Jane. When she got here I had to go fetch MJ who was in my second bedroom where my computer is. Here’s where it gets odd.
