Still feeling rather bb lazy...everyone who checks here knows my story, so I won't copy it over...any newcomers, just look at the top of my last thread "Getting Closer!".
Why this title?
Just came to me, spurred by a dream of CJ's and some follow-through.
On Thursday during dinner, CJ shared that he'd had a dream in which my Sis and BIL were here coming up with decorating ideas (my Sis IS really good at this)...she touched a paint sample to the wall behind our entertainment stuff (TV stereo etc) and the whole thing turned a deep red!
Then the ratty carpet disappeared and a hardwood floor with a central rug took its place.
I told CJ I LIKED it! and we should do it...He said "what about this weekend?"
Sure!!!
Now this may not seem like much folks, but there are a couple of layers involved:
1) Aside from the office I'm in right now (which is very nice, CJ fixed it up 2 or 3 years ago), we have only replaced some wall paper and painted the bathroom & bedroom in our 10 years here. All of the latter was done in year one .
So I am THRILLED that this painting actually got done...no nothing with the floor, I'm still basking in this baby step. BTW, it looks fabulous!
Thing is, CJ hasn't shown much interest in this house for a very long time. I thought at the time it was laziness, then the past year it rather sunk in: why would he want to expend energy and money on a place he couldn't stand being and wanted to escape???
So to me, this rather minor "home improvement" is a big deal.
2) I have had a series of about 30 dreams in which I am "reduced" to living in a shabby apartment...only to at some point "remember" THIS house and long for it.
"This house" in those dreams really symbolizes a healthy, safe, happy, prosperous self and Marriage. So when I say "Home Improvements" in my title, I'm speaking on that level too.
Happened to remember Shiny usually asks someone to link for her and to make it easier for any newcomers who do want to backtrack her. Here is a link to her previous thread.
Long day here. First I messed up my alarm clock and instead of going off at 7:02, I woke up when it read 8:26!! (CJ Let one of our cats outside and that woke me up!).
Good thing my clock is 24 minutes fast and I usually hit the snooze 3 times, huh?
CJ drove me, I made it there for my 9:30 class. School went well, we went out for lunch/supper (nice quesadillas!), did some grocery shopping and came home.
I headed outside to tackle some of the plants that got killed in the frost. Yard was looking rather scraggly...
But I weeded, and trimmed and cleared it all up. I artfully clipped the leaves surrounding my remaining chinese lanterns so they show quite vividly...very October!
It was an hour and a half out there...tomorrow it's supposed to go up to 22! Um...that's about 74?
I plan to finish off the yard (after I finish one exam, and prep my lectures), and dry some of my herbs.
While I was teaching, CJ picked up some more paint samples for the rest of the living room and is talking about wallpapering the dining room next weekend!
Now for the delicate of nature, skip the rest (no it's not lewd or lascivious!)
Maybe Ellie??
I had a "spell" after dinner last night. Couldn't finish eating actually and it was just some mac and cheese with tuna on the side. Pains in my abdomen, some nausea, and MAJOR burping...I mean constant for over an hour! ...also a lot of back pain.
Here's my dillemma...this could easily be intestinal (remember my woes in that arena!)...but KD and tuna is not exactly the most difficult stuff to digest!
It could also be my kidney...it's been sore of late, and I ALWAYS confuse the symptoms of those two.
Now here's what I thought of last night. What if it's neither of the above? I have no idea how gall bladder problems present,..wouldn't that just be too much? Going... one internal organ at a time!
Nah! Don't even think it, I've had far too many real illnesses to bother with hypochondriasis!
Was wondering if you get a chance there is a thread in newcomers titled Chemical Imbalance. Wondered if 'science girl' might could drop by there sometime!
His wife told him she has a chemical imbalance now he wants to know if there isn't a treatment. Bit confusing but thought you might shed a little Shiny light!
Have a great day!!!!!!!!
