mornin peeps.
what a week eh? seems everyone, or most everyone, has had a hell of a time around here lately. i haven't been much for words, but have managed to read a bit the last day or two-- and it doesn't look too bright out there.
sick parents, sick kids, sick peeps... sad peeps, delayed plans, broken hearts. life can suck can't it?
i hope things change for y'all soon. for the better of course.
things here are easing up a little. not having midnight is .. well, i don't even know if there is a word for it. there are a lot of feelings though. i have even called sushi , Midnight, several times. that is pretty messed up. a dog the size of midnights head-- weird .
anyhow... i did manage to get out yesterday. took care of some things i really needed to do, a couple things i wanted to do, and neglected-- of course a couple things i should have done. i thought i might get to those today-- but oh hell no-- it is too friggin cold for me to leave the house today-- so i think i will catch up on my neglected house today. which, as usual, is mainly the damn kitchen. kitchens just piss me off. especially when i'm pissed off to begin with.
i don't think pissed off is the word tho. not for today. i'd just rather be able to go fishin. or something.
yesterday i drove by the creek that i used to fish at a lot. i saw a guy catch a trout. that was pretty cool. but it was too cold for me to fish. i would love to catch some trout though. i haven't caught a trout in several years. if i got some trout.. there would be no catch and release-- there would be a fish fry! :))
welp-- i spose i shall get this party started round here.
i woke up at like 3 a.m so i'm pretty sure today will require a nap--- :))
i usually don't like to sleep during the day much anymore-- i feel like i'm wasting time. even though it used to be my favorite thing to do... but anyhow-- i think lately-- i kinda like it again.
keeps my mind from spinning. i really need to go fishing. :((

It was good for you to get out of the house. A needed distraction. Work is a big distraction for me. When you're talking and listening for a living, you can't be 'inside your head.' I'm hoping for warmer weather and some fishing in your near future, OK? Things that make you feel good.
i wish the same for you---
and yep-- MY head isn't the greatest of places to be...
but hey-- freezing rain today-- and 70 degrees on monday--- only in TEXAS.
i just noticed i didn't title this post. hmmmm.
i'll have to come up with something.
have a great day-
I'm glad you got out, if only for a bit. Damn the frosty weather, I'm sooooo tired of it!
I hope that your kitts and Sushi are doing better, it's amazing to watch animals grieve (I DO BELIEVE THEY grieve) sometimes I think we can learn alot more from animals than people give them credit-especially cats!-They are the first to notice change...
I remember when dimples was put to sleep, when I'd walk into my parents house, I'd expect the same things I'd come to know having her around for so long..the noise of her paws and nails, the clinking of her collar..a few times I thought I "heard her" or "saw her"..
I still to this day swear that she "saw" my grandpa sitting in his chair after he had died of lung cancer. Dimples always drove with us to visit them, as she loved him to death, and after he died, when she came with us to visit my ailing grandma, she ran into the kitchen, right up to his chair where he'd sit and give her treats, and sat up to beg...she helped me with healing his loss, and it killed me that I didn't feel after Dimples died that I had something to "help me" get over it..later now as a mom, I realized how much harder it must have been on my mom, like you, always the caretaker...I'm sorry for all of it.
For everyone that is just having this awful sad uncertain time.
People say time heals everything,I hope it does for you, for me sometimes, at times rather, I think it's not really healing, I'm just getting used to the change.
Blah.
I hope you have a good thursday!
70 on Monday? DAMN! I'm coming over!
xo,
Elizabeth
I totally just lost myself..what the hell did I write? Sorry. :)
HAVE A DAY! :I
Elizabeth
it is a day-- that's for sure-- and you didn't lose yourself-- i gotcha crusty---
you have a DAY too.. :))
wish I was there so we could go to your great thrift stores!!!
i have been trying to force myself to do my dishes right after we eat. and i have found that i can usually get it done in the time it takes me to smoke a civerlick. (while i'm doing it)
beats the hell out of dealing with the mess later ...after it has GROWN and multiplied :)
Hope your day is better today.
love me
well oldy-- believe it or not-- i was keeping on the place pretty good around here -- til midnight went downhill-- and then , well this week..
it'll get better-- IF i get off my ass. you know.
and i will.
why don't you come out here and go to my wonderful thrift stores? you know you want to!
afterall--- you surely must be ready to get away from oldyman by now?? LOL
G'mornin', Soul. Glad you got out yesterday, but sorry it is too cold to fish. Probably just what the doctor ordered! Tis chilly in NYC, too, with snow expected later today. Shit, can someone order me up a monday morning 24 inch snowfall to shut down school and work? That would be awesome.
Oh, and kitchens don't piss me off per se. What my husband and son DO to MY kitchen pisses me off, mostly because they do it and then just walk away!!!
THAT is exactly it R--
and tell me WHY can they NEVER find the freakin trash can??? it's only five more feet from the freakin counter--- but the counter top is where all the trash ends up--- for ME to gather and throw away---
AAAAAND... the damn food filled plates???? always on the side of the sink.. that the disposal is NOT in. WTH????
how hard is that?????
this is a trash can, this is a garbage disposal... hmmmm.
yep. that is what i hate too.
anyhow-- here's to your snow day-- i'm positive all the peeps gettin all the bad weather will gladly let YOU have it! :))
hope you have a good day
try to have a good day today---and if you don't get to the kitchen now, ah well, it will be there later, you know...so now or later, no biggie.
Keep smiling...
70 degrees? So NOT right...I'm coming with crusty.
xoxox
I'm so sorry about Midnight, Soul. :( Take your time and grieve. This year has started out a bit rough, eh? It can only go up from here! I think I will do a bit of cleaning myself today. I think when the weather warms up a bit, a good trip to the cabin and some fishing will do me a world of good. :)
Oh 70 sounds so good. But unfair in a a way, you shouldn't get freezing rain after that. It's 10 below here--not that I'm going to go outside in this mind you!
Like your new profile pic!
jamie--
i hope i am not detecting a bit of
"i don't give a shit-ism" in your tone???
it used to be--
just wash your damn dishes soul...
now it's they'll be there later soul.
hmmm... should i be worried? or are you just learning to chill a bit???
i did manage to get them done anyhow-- i was rudely FORCED though. the heater man... oooohhhh could it be perhaps a heater FAIRY??? coming-- at 4-- so i HAD to clean.. even though i did not want to. i worked on a damn photo collage for hours this morning, and damn near broke my back i think--- but it was fun ...
anyhow-- i do hope you are having a good day in all your busy-ness.
ttyl
OXOX
hi jlee-- it's good to see you here..
yep-- it's hard without midnight. a piece of me is gone. a big piece.
the year has had a tough start-- for a lot of folks ... but it seems we all manage to get through our stuff somehow huh.
i hope you do get to go to your little place, and fish and fish and fish when it warms up--
road trips-- and fishin-- always good for the soul huh?
hope you have a good day...
hiya jess--
i feel sooo bad for you--
and jamie--
and crusty---
freezin all your asses off--
y'all need to come out here--
in just a few weeks we'll be BBQ'in brisket and ribs !!
hell.. i hope those 70's hang around a few days. that's grillin and fishin weather.
we can have a BLOG-A-Q :))
have a good day--
oh- ps.. is that a BIG fish or what??? i was lookin for sushi in there!
Oh wow, you have insomnia too? What can you do at 3am? I would definitely need a nap if I got up at 3am.
How old is Sushi? Is Sushi a small dog or Midnight a big one? They just look so cute together in the photo.
Just popping by to check if you are feeling better, Soul!
Yeah, get out of the place. Go fishing. Do something to get your mind occupied.
Have a Nice Weekend!
brenda iam so so sorry to hear about your dog....its a terrible thing to have to do that , i just did it a few months ago, my heart goes out to you and your family.....
well yes i am more than excited about garth, and you bet your boots or fish ,that i will blog all about it..!!!
my love to you and your family vicki
p.s. to you really have that fish in ur mouth
Did you say "heater fairy". Want me to find you one because I have a whole stash of "fairies"? LOL.....
Glad you are feeling a bit better Soul and just think, in about 5 weeks it will officially be Spring for you Northern Hemisphere people and Autumn here. YAY!! I can't wait til it starts getting cooler.
heya blur--
yep-- i get up waaay too early most of the time.. but didn't get a nap yesterday-- which sucked-- but for some reason, i wasn't very tired in the day. i was surprised.
as for the fish-- this one, i believe
has ME in HIS mouth! :))
sushi will be two on valentines day.
and she weighs maybe 15 pounds-ish.. big for a min pin.
midnight weighed 66 on monday. i had no idea she was that big. i guess because i had to carry her sometimes.. and she just didn't feel that heavy--
maybe like carrying your kid-- they just never do feel as heavy as they are.
isn't that strange?
hope you have a good day....umm night... or whatever it is. :))
hi water--
yes, slowly but surely-- gettin better here...
but-- nonono, no fishin today--COLD.
maybe monday-- sposed to 70 on monday-- if it is-- i will fish.. :))
you have a good weekend too.
vicki, hi-- i know-- and thanks... i remember about your little doggie too. that was soo sad. i still think you shoulda named him tater though. but i guess ya have to be a redneck to name an animal tater! :))
i named a kitten tater once... just so ya know. someone stole that cat-- a neighbor-- i went and told them i wanted my cat back, and they denied having him-- but i knew they were lying. oh wait-- that was Oliver-- tater was the one that would "shat" on me as a sign of affection---- needless to say--- he was not kept around for very long.
i can't wait to hear about your concert! i just know it will be great.
hope you have a great time.
OOPS! gave the fish comment to the wrong person.. look UP :))
oh gypsy YES do find me a heater fairy! the one that came yesterday was 80 YEARS old!! and no fairy at all! :))
i must have something to get THAT image out of my mind :))
and i agree-- we both have a lot to look forward to in the change of seasons don't we???
hope you are learning some new recipes-- i can send you some of my specialties if ya like-- what's yer fancy?
mexican.. stir fry... cajun... i can cook almost anything.. well, i can cook anything--- but for some reason, i can't bake for anything.. except cookies. i do cookies ok. :))
