Today, I drove to Clinton to have lunch with a friend. (Of course, there's always that argument that she is not my friend.) The question came up on whether or not I should go to the ocean.
E: Well, are you going because you want to go or because you want to get away from here?
T: I want to go. I want to go shelling.
E: Just don't let the waves carry you off somewhere and we never see you again.
T: What? Like just walk out into the water and be like American Online.-does the voice- Goodbye!
E: -makes the E face-
E: You are coming back, right?
T: Sure. It's just coincidence that I just went to my attorney to do my will.
E: Dude, that's not funny.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
105 Day Sobriety
I have been sober for 105 days. I carry this token in my pocket. It isn't alcohol that I want. (And even though my friends tried on the night of my accident, I really didn't feel the need to "get f-ed up.") Really, it's a Coke or maybe just to be able to swing by and get an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. But, I can't, or rather I'm not supposed to. When I go to the store, any store, I am amazed by the amount of merchandising from Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Monster, Red Bull, Mountain Dew, etc. Are we really that hooked on these products? It's everywhere I look, about every aisle. Now, all I see is caffeine and sugar. On my next trip to the store though, I promise myself I will purchase some decaf Folgers. I'm truly living on the edge! Look out world! ;)
5 Years With My Twins!
Five years ago today, these two little creatures (Buddy and Sissy) came into our lives. They were so little I decided to take both. Booger was so mad! But, he is the one who raised them. He needed some company. I needed him to be less lonely.
I should be happy with the results from my reevaluation at the chiropractor today, but he read something else in my face. I just continued to spiral after I left there. I don't know where I am. I've been off all day. I had to lie down. I woke up four hours later...
I don't have the answers.
Reunited...
The back story: Usually when a person hasn't seen another person for a while and would like communicate with them, they would call, text, or email right? Maxine, on the other hand, likes to pray about it. I can personally testify to the power of prayer in this example because God will put these feelings, thoughts, or messages on me about Maxine. So then, when I do make contact with her, she will tell me about how she's been praying about it. I will joke with her about just calling me and not siccing the BIG GUY on me. Lately, she has been on my mind, but it was her sister who actually called me. And, when I came today, Maxine said she was mad at me because I didn't call her when I needed help. I did not have an answer for that, but for those first two weeks I was miserable.
Today, I went to visit with my seniors and it was great that ALL of us could be there. I felt like this was the right place for me to be. So much so that I called Missy to tell her about it after I left.
T: I told them about Etsy and that they could sell their quilts on there. Of course, they looked at me like I was speaking Japanese and they said I would have to come back and help them with that.
M: OMG, you have to come back. Remember when you used to go all the time?
T: Yes, every Tuesday...
M: You used to quilt all the time or work on projects with them.
T: I used to turn out quilts left and right. My dad used to asked me when I would make him one. You used to asked me when I would make you one. I had so many ideas for quilts I was tripping over them. I couldn't keep up!
M: I remember you would make quilts in your free time.
T: Free time? What is that? -We both start laughing.-
M: OMG, this is what you're supposed to do! You enjoyed doing this.
T: I enjoyed doing many things. We will see.
As I sit here writing this, I know there are many boxes and totes of things I have started and not finished or just tons and tons of fabric - because whoever dies with the most fabric wins! (That's the quilters' motto.) I'm sure I have a bunch of pictures too. I just like to do the tops. I should put these on Etsy too. They're probably all out in the garage!!! -scared face- lol
I woke up Sunday morning thinking the band is never getting back together. (Random!) And then this morning, Jonathan posted this picture on my wall. After 25 years, Siobhan and Marcella met face to face. Just wow... ❤ Shakespear's Sister
Frustrated, Relieved, Brain fried, Wandering...
It's funny how a five minute project can take all weekend. The thought of coming back to blogging has been on my mind since my accident as a place to lay down my thoughts but I've been hesitating. I kick the idea around sometimes. I come back here and look around, drag my fingers on the walls, reminisce, but is this where I should be? Does it matter? So, here I am, dusting things off, touching up a few things. It did take a little more than 5 minutes. I was sure my HTML was a little rusty. It did come back to me. I added a new chat board to replace the old one. I have since learned that words like tag board, chat box, and free don't mean the same as they used to. LOL. Feel free to leave me a message. Also, with my website nonexistent, I had to find somewhere to support my graphics for this blog. THAT is what took all weekend, as my free servers would not remote link to my blog. I wanted it to still be all purdy and junk! (Say that with a southern accent like the pothole commercial.) Trust me, eventually there will be a face lift. And, Jonathan did have to help me, because I reached frustration level, my brain stopped, and then I stopped. Jonathan, like Blogger, reminded me that I could update my blog, and it would be much easier (than say 2006!) When I said I was blowing the dust of things, I wasn't kidding! Merci Johnny.
