Menopausal Musings




As I sit by my window...I see dark gray rain clouds and a heavy shower, the branches of trees dancing in the wind.
Today I'm grateful for...good neighbors.
I hear...the rumble of the dryer in the basement.
I need...to buy a child-proof lock for the refrigerator door before Dylan comes back June 2nd.
I think...Chloe dog is convinced she's half human.
I spend...a lot of time daydreaming.
I hope...my oldest brother forgives me for missing his step-grandson's wedding recently.
I take...some things way too seriously.
I enjoy...watching old episodes of "Law & Order" while I'm sitting on my couch recuperating from surgery.
I love...my ratty old bathrobe.
I miss...using my own computer -- tho I appreciate my daughter letting me use her laptop!
I feel...glad I'm inside where it's warm and dry.
I touch...the towels in the dryer at the end of the cycle to see if they're dry.
I ache...deep inside physically right now.
I dislike...pimentoes in egg salad. Pimentoes, period!!
I admire...teachers.
I seek...to help the helpless.
I search...for better ways to express my thoughts.
I want...a lot of prayers to be answered.
I look forward to...having my younger brother and his wife over on Friday for a nice long visit and lunch.
Today was...spent with Dear Hubby, who took half a vacation day off. We went out for an early dinner at Noho's.

Nothing wrong with daydreaming Kris- is what l love doing when l get some time to myself! That was an introspective post my friend- l could hear the rain along with you- time sometimes passes like that. HUGS. I'm glad hubby took the time off and you were together- sounds like what you needed.

I'm at the other end of that rope just now- more stressed than l think because half of my words are coming out wrong! I say kitchen when l mean kettle and keys when l mean door. The kids think it's funny anyway. I think it's happening because l'm doing so much and thinking too fast-lol.

Good idea on the child-proof lock for Dylan- he'll be at that age now when they're into everything!
Sorry to hear you're still so sore- Here's a wave and a hug to you across the horizon xoxo
