Glad it’s Friday!!!

No Jamaica
I’m supposed to be in Jamaica, but my house sitter (arranged about 3 months ago) backed out. So I lost my $410 non refundable ticket and I’m staying home, still taking my vacation.
I have a visitor coming down and hopefully we will do some scuba diving, beach time, yoga and food.
Hope you have a great day!
Well, Coulda Been Worse, (Or Better!)
I got a speeding ticket this weekend. The more I think about it the more I’m going to go to court and plead not guilty. I got a ticket for overtaking a car in a 25 mph zone. Myself and a string of cars behind me were trapped behind this car for quite a long ways and at the first passing zone I passed the car and then got back in my Lane in front of the car the police gave me a speeding ticket because I was speeding while I was overtaking.
I don’t know if I mentioned it here, but I was going to Jamaica this week. However my animal sitter canceled and I have no replacement. I had arranged this particular pet sitter 3 months ago about, I’m guessing. In hindsight, I could tell she was going to cancel. She stopped communicating. And I got the impression she was hiding from me.
Went diving yesterday and saw a seahorse. Very disappointing.
I have been diving for a very long time, and never saw a seahorse until relatively recently. My imagination was better than the reality.
And now it’s a Monday, it was a pretty productive weekend. In addition to the above I cleaned the house and load the yard and did laundry. And washed the dogs!
Have a great week
Daisy Disappointment
This morning Daisy destroyed her bed. It was a nice bed. I’m very disappointed in her. Again.
I cleaned up the fluff and threw the bed away. It was completely ripped open. I hope she’ll understand the remaining bed is Lenny’s and not hers.
Yesterday was the retirement lunch party for one of my favorite co-workers, Laurie. When I didn’t know something, and didn’t want anyone to know I didn’t know, I’d ask her. She always knew everything about airports,.
It’s a bittersweet Wednesday. Have a good day!
Food Fetish
My dawg Lenny, seems to have a food fetish. He will scoot the bowl off into a corner or under a chair and use his snout to shovel the food out of his bowl onto the floor. He seems to eat little or none of the food.when he’s doing this. It seems like some sort of perverted messmaking hobby He will eat normal when he’s hungry.
After the title and picture, aren’t you disappointed by the paragraph above? I am!
Also, when Lenny’s going to drink some water, he slowly slowly slowly, moving statue, sneaks up on the water bowl. Then laps water as loud as possible, splashing it to the maximum
He definitely has some kind of weird psychology going on whenit comes to food and drink. He’s always been a bit freaky.
Today is my boss’s last day at work. I applied to fill the position, but haven’t heard anything. The new boss is sure to not be as good as the old boss though.
Have a fantastic day!
Slowstart Monday
Im slow this morning, running late. Had a good weekend. Took a picture of kute kat Knip, bought a pickleball paddle and Friday was an enjoyable Job Fair that I attended for work
And now I’m out the door, headed for work!
Have. GREAT week!
Jupiter – Venus Disappointment
Last evening Venus and Jupiter did NOT align as I expected them to. They were a pinky fingernail width apart. I expected unity!
Today my cousin and his wife depart. I enjoyed having them here. (It just this second occurred to me that a job as a tourist host would be a fun job for me)
Also today Daisy is going back to the vet for her follow up. I can’t tell how she’s doing, sometimes she seems ok, 5 minutes later she acts like she’s in pain. When in doubt, check her out, I always say.
Have a wonderful day!
Fabulous Jamaica
I made it home last night, had a great time in Jamaica. I’m thinking about going back in July.
It was my first trip since before covid. I’m glad to have it under my belt. I will be traveling more from now on.
Of course, I took Travlin’ Tim on the trip.
Im think about retiring him. He’s large and faded, and has been broken and glued. Mostly he’s too valuable to me to risk any more. Meet Backpacker Bob:
But I don’t know for sure yet. I love Travlin’Tim. And he loves to travel. Travlin’Tim has the history, and the experience. Maybe he should just keep on with me until the very end. I dunno, I’m thinking here!
And on a side note: someone once suggested Travlin’ Tim was from the Travelocity gnome. He is not. He is inspired from the French movie Amelie, and I believe he predates the Travelocity’s gnome. Just FYI. I would guess the their gnome is from the same movie.
it’s a Monday holiday here, I got back late last night and in a little while I get to go get my two dawgies.
Have a wonderful week!
Diving Elephants?
this morning I was dreaming that I was scuba diving on a shipwreck. It was a beautiful, upright shipwreck . Crystal clear Blue warm water good visibility a nice dive. Probably 50 to 80 ft deep. In the dream, I was surprised to see a very large elephant standing on the deck of the ship. I swam forward on the ship and there was another elephant standing on the bottom off the port side forward. There were also two dolphins, still, apparently looking at the elephant. My thought was, “I didn’t know elephants could go that this deep” it was a very pleasant dream and a nice dive.
it seemed like I was sleeping well when the alarm went off this morning. I wonder which is better, to have my sleep disturbed by the alarm? Or to be awake already when the alarm goes off? It’s a real poser.
it’s almost the weekend, tomorrow is Friday hooray!
The Protector
I woke up last night at the usual time, middle of the night. I felt the panic attempt to grab me but I evaded it. I can’t really describe what happened. I could feel it rising and I don’t want to say I pushed it back down but it advanced then inexplicably retreated. Normally I am unsuccessful at any attempts to control my “night madness” and I was pleased and relieved to have a hiatus.
However, my assignment was to examine the panic and determine what it is that grasps me in the middle of the night every night. I know what it is in a way, fear and aloneness. But that is too vague. I must identify (and alleviate?) the roots.
This morning, thinking about it, I remembed ‘the protector’.
My other assignment, which I had forgotten, was to identify and observe “the protector”. (I had asked if I was possibly schizophrenic when the protector was described to me) When things that I want to look at run away to avoid being examined, that is “my protector” protecting me. It thinks it’s protecting me from things it thinks are too painful for me to look at.
This morning I tried to examine the fear and the protector hid it from me. I admit at the time that I was pleased the fear went away but this morning I realized that that was not the objective. It was not doing me any favors.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow.. I’m ready to enter the haunted house.
In the meantime, I am in a great mood today, for which I am thankful, and, it’s my Friday! (Remember, Thursdays and Fridays off, rest of the year!)
But, more importantly, in the news, Scientists have found clitorises on female snakes. It wasn’t necessarily that it was elusive – rather, scientists weren’t really looking for it.
Have a GREAT day!!
