A modest journal. |
My life's ups and downs... |
Saturday, January 15, 2011, 10:37am Busy this morning... dropped off some letters at the Post Office, picked up a prescription at Walmart, and went for a haircut. It is a sunny scarf and glove day here in lower Alabama. That's a riddle to be solved... or leave it be --- the decision is yours. |
Thursday, January 13, 2011, 8:18pm Good day at work---long and slow though. I was glad to get home, but then I thought it was Friday for a minute. A rude awakening when it quickly dawned on me that tomorrow is Friday. Still, Fridays are always good because on the inside, all day, you know the work week is ending... and "my time" is beginning. My ex-husband, Jorge, came to visit me for a few weeks. It's so good to have some companionship. Yes! We're planning to do some things... I'll show him some places here. We'll have some fun... go to dinner, to the movies, and visit places... even though it is cooold. Lows in the 20s and highs in the mid-40s, etc. Believe it or not----I am enjoying the weather! Variety---after all---is the spice of life! |
Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 1:33pm I am at work on my lunch break... have been summarizing depositions since the last couple of weeks in December, which is a little boring to say the least. I would like to make an entry for the North Star contest... Lord, help me write something worthwhile. Otherwise, my ex-husband may be coming to visit for a couple of weeks starting this weekend. Good in a way and bad in a way... Sometimes I like to be alone especially when I get off work at the end of the day --- at least for a few hours..., but beggars can't be choosers. Always prefer someone to talk to over being alone. =) Take care and have a spontaneous week! |
Sunday, January 9, 2011, 8:53am I slept well... a little depressed over recent happenings. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Slept too much yesterday... Part of me wanted to get outside, another part didn't. Self-pity----an enemy to my soul. I'll be kicking that one out right about now. |
Saturday, January 8, 2011, 2:20pm Working through disillusionment today... a bit sad. But the truth always triumphs over deception. Thankful for the protection of my heavenly Father who sets up roadblocks of protection all around me. What is the lesson to be learned from all this? |
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 6:47am I was scammed on an online dating site. Be careful out there and always protect your private information. Make others prove themselves to you if you have the tiniest inkling something is amiss. |
Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 7:02am I am wide open to a year of miracles. Hit me with your best shot. |
Sunday, January 2, 2011, 8:26am When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind. You were on my mind... I've got troubles, whoa, whoa... I've got sorrows, whoa, whoa... I've got wounds that need to bind... I woke up just before 5am this morning... bright eyeed and bushy tailed. My laundry is already spinning in the dryer. 'bout to go get it out and then get dressed for church! |
Saturday, January 1, 2011, 7:02am Happy New Year to all! It's been rainy and warm --- 60s and 70s --- for the past few days..., which seems a little strange after all the cold weather we've been having. I'm looking forward to another fantabulous day! |
Wednesday, December 29, 2010, 6:07pm I had an odd dream last night... I was in a big, beautiful, state-of-the art hotel and my family was there --- my mother and maybe a sibling or two, my daughter was not there --- when I spotted something that got my attention, a guy digging for gold. As known for doing, my mother went off with the siblings --- and I was alone. The hotel was round in shape; and I had no idea where they were though I kept looking out every window I passed. The hotel was encircled by large windows that ran almost from ceiling to floor, though I could not find the guy digging as I continuously looked out across the landscape surrounding the hotel. In this dream, I was floating --- suspended from the floor about two feet --- in an upright position... I floated through the hotel looking... I was also wearing a short dress with a long netted dress underneath. The dress on top was too short, but I didn't realize it when I put it on. The under-dress with the netting was torn in the back. I was an oddity and everyone kept staring. I went into one part of the restaurant that was reserved for the wealthy and was told to leave that I wasn't allowed in there. I made my apologies and left. I saw some people I knew from the office ---- unknown to me in real life. I was embarrassed because of my clothing and because of the floating. I was wandering throughout the hotel very conspicuosly though I was trying with all my might to be inconspicuous. At one point I floated over the table of some people who were eating and the women at the table were appalled and began covering their plates and making faces. I apologized. At one point, there was another girl who was suspended and I thought at last I had a friend who was in a similar situation... but she quickly dropped to the floor and didn't want to be my friend. She was able to control whether or not she floated or walked on the floor. At one point I went into an area with a pool, but it was curtained off and old people were receiving some sort of water-therapy and I was told I wasn't allowed in there and asked to leave. I remember another pool with aquarium like fish swimming about. I remember trying to sit down because I could actually sit down on a seat---but antigravity would push me out of the seat and I was floating around again. At one point someone tossed appointment/calendar planners of various shapes sizes and styles onto a counter for whoever wanted one. I started to pick one up and a lady grabbed it from me and I said, "Hey, I had that..." I picked another one and went on my way. Another time there were presents of various shapes and sizes on a long, bar-like countertop --- apparently there for the taking. I felt a few and then decided on one. I took it away and opened it to find a few tubes of lipstick and a compact. Then I saw a couple ladies walking, one had her arms full of presents and was saying, "Can you believe some of my presents were taken?" Apparently all of the presents were hers and she just laid them down while she ate her dinner. The entire dream seemed to be full of embarassment without power to change my circumstances. |
