I’ve had A LOT of time to think lately. Scary, right?!?! I realised that I have not had this much ME time in over 10 years. Some days the silence is startling! See, I am a busy body! Years ago one job wasn’t enough, so I had two! Then I decided on one job plus school. Then one job plus two schools – yes, at the same time! Then came the nieces… but you know that story!
I’d been busy.
I’ve allowed my brain to venture out of its comfort zone. I’ve allowed it to consider such things as moving… you know, away… My subconscious has paid me back ten-fold for some of these thoughts! I mean, how many times in one week can you wake from a nightmare that you left your best friend’s two year old daughter unattended… again?!?!? Okay, okay, I get it. Move, I will not!
Until I figure out what’s next. I’ll make the most of each day.
Today – TGIF!!!
You see, we have a tradition at work of reading our horrorscopes. I’ve been rather concerned that the author of said horrorscopes is going thru some type of crisis, because everyone’s outlook has been quite bleak for months! (Seriously, how can everyone be having a two star day, ever y day?) Dear author redeemed themselves today with a GREAT horrorscope!!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • Your creativity and energy mark your decisions. You seem to have an answer for nearly any problem. A group of friends is already in weekend mode.
I’ve been on the fence about some things… some ideas… they’d require a lot of creativity and energy! I’m gonna take this as a sign that I should move forward… give my ideas a go! Wish me luck!!!
I’m not sure I have any answers, but YES all my friends are in weekend mode! The weather is PHENOMENAL and there is a very important birthday this weekend! A birthday of which I might have procrastinated in preparing for… might… have… but no one will ever know… except anyone reading this…
Did I mention how PHENOMENAL the weather has been? I wanted to make the most of this warm summer evening, so I took dumb & dumber for a walk. They were horrible! Luke pulled and pulled and pulled on the leash and Miyo tried to roll on everything in an effort to rub the Halti off her head. It’s never worked before, but she’s determined some day it will come right off!
About half a mile from the house I hear someone scream ‘STOP’!
Okay! Okay! We stopped!
Then I saw it. At speeds of at least 100 mph, came the most fierce three pound terrier… until she realised she had just charged upon 125 pounds of black lab and came to a screeching halt!
Right.
In the middle.
Of Atlas Road.
Atlas is a busy road. No one does the speed limit. EVER!
Pocket dog’s child is now standing on the other side of the street staring at her dog. I grab dumb & dumber and pull them further away from the road, trying to lure the dog to come attack us… you know, over here, in the weeds, away from the cars.
Yes, I’m pretty sure I told the little pocket dog to attack us. “Come here little one, attack the big dogs. Come on. You can do it. Come on.”
Yep. Tonight dumb & dumber met dumbest! I’m just not certain that the little dog with big dreams and possibly poor vision is the one that earned that title…
Oh… if you’re wondering… yes, the little dog finally came within reach and the child’s father came to retrieve it…
Then my day went from successful to magical!!
I went to see my best friend and her girls… you know the two year old that I keep abandoning in my dreams… Guess what happened when I walked in??
Lil’ Miss said “Dee”!!!!!!!!!
I know. I know. It’s an easy name. Children learn to talk. Life goes on.
With Lil’ Miss, every new milestone is monumental! TSC is an unpredictable disease. We never know what to expect each day. We delight in the little things, because we are beyond grateful that she gets to experience them!
To wrap the night… on my way home… I saw the brightest shooting star ever! I watched in amazement. I was so captivated; I forgot to make a wish! I figured “better late than never” and tossed a wish out there anyway!
It’d share it with you, but then it won’t come true.
It was a really good one!
Just like this day was… and tomorrow will be :)
