Here and Now...What's Happening?

"The Yorkie, the Bugs, and the Indian Summer"

Bizzilion, bizzilion and one... It's a good thing Wolfie, has a lot of fur because I stopped counting the lady and banana bugs after a bizzilion and one that continue to bomb us. Either that or there's a well organized troop under my welcome mat 'at the ready'. Snaps! for their fierce attention and tenacity.

Note to self:
1) place fly swatter under welcome mat
2) purchase rubber raincoat for Wolfie
3) provide nano GPS’s to the bug boys

I use the catch and release system. Damp paper towel makes it easy to pick them up and invite them back outside. It seems like a full time job these days. Wine with that cheese?

Chills, aches, foggy brain, nausea and sore ribs from coughing...going to rest again.

Absolutely the same symptoms here, still.
But as i mentioned:
Am enjoying it. No worries.

Actually, this is a highlight. It is giving me time to listen and make some music (which makes me forget everything else).

No symptoms here (should I feel guilty???).

Amongst all the fine healing and tips offered does not "laughter is the best medicine" get at least some consideration???





No???

Okay ... take me away then ...

[Belle]

Laughter is the best medicine, Calz...and you always provide just the right laughter at just the right moments!

Rodney Dangerfield? The man that gets no respect? Not you, dear Calz. Much respect from me to you.

Meeting with cps lady later today, somehow, sometime between the band performance and the drivers ed...

Today, my nerves are shot. Must say, I've done real well for the last 3 days. Still not panicking or freaking out, thanks to my True Self. This connection is keeping me sane.

I'm sorry Belle, that sounds flat out nasty!

Much Love,

[latshaw]

my prayers for his recovery and protection... and for you peace of heart and mind.

"My Big Pajama Pants"

While I was sick, I had a chance to exercise my natural gifts. Unaware of the power of the flu, I used up my small size bottle of DayQuil. Unwilling to change out of my big pajama pants, my solution was to drive one town over to the CVS, a quick shop drugstore. You know, the place where there are four registers and only one is ever open. Where it’s one line, with five people holding themselves up with shopping carts filled with GMO food stuffs and other sundries.

Well, that day, the flu and I were in sync with the natural laws of abundance. No line, and only few customers in the store. I speed walked to the isle and on the way back there’s a woman bee-lining down the main aisle towards the register, with a carriage filled with a sh!t load of sh!t.

So here’s where I merged my powers of persuasion with her natural inclination to shop and shop. I visualized her stopping mid-way to hav-a-look at whatever the aisle had in it to feed her shopping frenzy. That 2 second stall netted me a first place at the register. Booyah!

I was looking at the world map for earthquakes... and noticed that right up through the appalachians almost straight line, there were earthquakes this week....

makes me wonder if the ancient fault isn't filling with magma, or sea water entering in from the drilling near lousiana or what.... My roomate saw a fire curtain in a vision , that was along the new madrid fault line, but this is running northeast...

brave man

"A senior detective who blew the whistle on an alleged police cover-up of
sex abuse in the Catholic Church said he had received threatening messages
on police letterhead since speaking out on an issue that he acknowledged
would end his career in the force."

In following good advice, I'm finding humor in as many moments as I can.

So, I was in the middle of an almost-panic situation when I realized Devin, the toothless wonder, has been bitten by a snake. It didn't occur to me what this bite was until a couple of hours of watching it and wondering. M actually figured it out. So, I'm rushing around trying to find something to clean this nasty bite with, and Em is all over me for one thing and M is with another and Little One with yet another. When I explain what I'm in the middle of, the girls start jumping in with me. One grabs the towels, one grabs the mouthwash...so we were doing this impromptu medical procedure of cleaning the wound.

Well, Little One, meantime, failed to see the big deal. He kept on doing his four year old thing and trying to talk to all three of us, who were very intently focused on keeping Devin calm while we poured something very painful into his exposed flesh.

Little One got flat out angry. He stomped off, whining and then yelling, and we all basically ignored him because we have something urgent on our hands.

It came time to leave to take M to drivers education, and he was in a huff. So, here's how this went....hahaha...

L.O. "I hate you!"
Me "Oh, well now, hate is quite a strong word."
L.O. "I hate you!"
Me "Hmmm. Quite serious."
L.O. "I'm going to ignore you!"
Me "Okay. That sounds reasonable."
L.O. "I'm ignoring you because I hate you!"
Me "Okay. While you are ignoring me, you had better get your jacket. It is cold in the car."
L.O. "I'm ignoring you."


L.O. "Where are we going?"
Me "We are going to take M to her drivers class."
L.O. "I hate you! I hate M, too!"
Me "So I've heard. Would you like to take apricots in the car?"
L.O. "Yes, please. I'm ignoring you!"
Me "Absolutely. Right you are."

Hahaha

By the time we got to the drivers ed place, M was in hysterics. I just kept my usual straight face..."bye, sweetie, see you in a couple of hours." I glanced back and reminded L.O. to blow kisses, which he did with giggles. And M got out of the car just shaking her head. "You're good, Mom."

Hahhahahahah

And where the clear head that I needed at this moment came from as exhausted as I am, I don't think I'll ever know.

I can't believe it

Those teenagers, they are always texting right.

Now, I just found out that they do prank texting (vs prank calls) to each other. They find it very funny and everyone gets in the game.

So a female friend of my daughter received a prank text from a girl, saying I love you so much - no one knows if the girl knew she was texting another girl, but, my daughter's friends decided to prank text back as if she was a boy.

It went on part of the evening, sending love poems to each other while my daughter's friend would text my daughter about what was going on.

I did not feel very good about this thinking that it may be prank texts coming from weirdos or pedophiles (teenager philes). So I ask to get the phone number of the prank texter to do a reverse look up.

I did get the number but the reverse look up did not yield any information.

So I took the phone number, put my phone number on masked id, and dialed the number.

A young girl voice answered, and then my daughter took the phone.

She continued the prank, which became a prank call, by my daughter, while the fake boyfriend continued prank texting. Both girls on the phone were creating a story about school, boyfriends, the supposed boyfriend on the texting, etc etc.

It was litterally hilarious, very imaginative and their role playing was really quite good - story line build up, accents played, unexpected turns, etc. I could not avoid laughing, even if I tried.

When the call ended up, my daughter told me "hein hein, it is fun right, nowwwww you understand". I said "I can't believe I am as immature as teenagers, yes it was fun" she said "oh please, be immature more often, you are real fun, you can be a teenager even with my friends". Wow, the last part of the last sentence is almost an honor coming from a teenage daughter.

There were really no harm done to anyone, danger --- may be, on the long run, I will check on it.

So tonight I have been initiated to teenager world.

Spent a chunk of the night looking for Chester, in the neighborhood behind the mexican restaurant where we occasionally eat, he finally arrived and we had a long interaction, the details of which I did not bring back.

Another episode followed, and I met up somewhere with a woman calling herself Leslie, who also bore a great resemblance to another here and nower, and I can't recall the first part where we met up, but we went to this circular stone structure, there was this rotating free form column in the middle that was moving very slowly, the lines were interspersed with veins and arteries, straight/geometric lines mixed with what appeared to be blood vessels. She pointed out the lines where we were, and I followed the lines from the column, across the floor, up the wall, to where the lines and vessels tapered off on the wall, and she said, yes, that is the end. Just beyond the point where the lines ended there was another bunch of vessels clumped together, and I said, look it's a new heart, and looked back at her from where I was on the floor, she was smiling, I smiled back and turned back to the new heart, and I was pulled through the wall and found myself in another room, roughly crescent shaped, and every surface except for the narrow walk through the center was covered with colored pencils, millions of colored pencils, the round flat ends sticking out of everywhere.
