In the still of the night...

Current mood: peaceful
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

I'm on the clock right now... Before I came to "work" I loaded up on Lipton White Tea - Raspberry, Starbuck's (bottled) Frappucinos -vanilla and the new dark chocolate mocha (yum), almond M&Ms to munch on just in case, and for the final stretch I got some kind of energy drink that my nephew, Josh, turned me onto. It's "Juiced" or something like that. Yeah, I'm not sleeping at ALL tonight, and that's the way it should be. My client has been in the hospital with pneumonia for the past few days and he's struggling to sleep. I've been writing on this blog for about an hour now because I keep going in to check on him every few minutes and then I sit with him just because he likes it. It's part of the job, but it also makes me feel like I'm helping because he is a believer and I can pray with him and talk about church, etc.

Tomorrow - well, later today - I'm taking a friend to the orthodontist and then coming home to snooze: either on the porch in the sun, or in my bed, LOL. Either way I think I'll be able to crash because at some point I'll be coming down from my caffeine/sugar/vitamin high. I'm feeling pretty good right now, though. LOL.

So this is where my BLOG becomes my BLAHG because I don't really have a ton to write about... I'm just blathering on. I suppose I'll close this up and go check on my client.

A quick prayer: Abba Father, I pray for those who are up right now - struggling to sleep for whatever reason. Give them peace, help them sleep, let them feel and know that You are in control of everything and help them give their cares and anxieties to You. For those who are sick I ask that You would grant them healing sleep so their fearfully and wonderfully made bodies will be able to regenerate and recuperate from whatever is ailing them. For those who are burdened I pray that they will experience the Comforter: may they be still and know that You are God. In Jesus's name I pray, amen.

I Ain't Skeered... Ain't Afeered a Nuthin'!

November 7, 2006 - Tuesday I aint skeered...aint afeered a nuthin! Current mood: confused Category: Life I've got some serious issues... I'm the Cowardly Lion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ugly Betty all rolled into one. How can one person be such a wimp in some areas, a totally confident terminator in other areas and such a sweet and humble mix in still other areas? Where does this come from? It's not multiple personality disorder (despite what some of you might think). I'm not Sybil; I'm not losing time and blacking out and taking on other personas...even though I do enjoy a good game of pretend now and then...with accents. I often joke about being my own conundrum; my own anomaly, but sometimes it's not really ...

A rainbow colored, abscessed, monster of a thing.

Originally started October 2018. Gosh, I've needed to write for such a long time. I can't even get into journaling for some reason. I don't even care if anyone reads this, that's not the point... I just need to talk - unhindered and unfettered - talk. Y'know how when you get a splinter under your fingernail and you can see the thing so you know it's there? So you get your extraction tools: fingernail clippers, tweezers, maybe a sewing needle or push pin, if you're my dad you get a pocket knife... if you're over 35 you get your reading glasses... you get peroxide or rubbing alcohol... everything you need and then you go in for minor surgery. You poke around and scrape the underside of the nail. You pull at something dark and then realize it's just dirt. You pick at it a little too hard and maybe it bleeds a little. Then finally you pull the smallest of little slivers out and think, "Yes! I got it." You look closely at the shard of wood a...

On Again Off Again

August 23, 2007 - Thursday On Again Off Again Current mood: tired Category: Life If I believed in astrology I would make some kind of comment about how today the moon must have been in the 6th house and Saturn was surely aligning with Pluto because why else would my day have felt so "off" and ended up with me in tears? After all, any true music proficionado would know that an ON day would consist of the moon being in the SEVENTH house and JUPITER aligning with MARS... A.K.A. the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I do not, however, believe in astrology. I am most certainly a fan of the 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo was so foxy back in the day!) but I'm not a fan of crediting or blaming my "off" days on the alignment...
