I am also taking care of Young Prince, who has been stricken with First Week of School Germs and has a fever, so hence my excuse for not getting too deep into anything.
So today I will throw out here a potpourri of what is on my mind today.
*-----*
It is raining. Pouring. Again. I love the rain, and although I'm not feeling particularly in a bad mood, I am pensive, a tad bit melancholy. I'm not certain why; various reasons but nothing special.
*-----*
My husband just called. He needed the number for the doctor's office. I gave it to him.
He said he found a big lump.
*-----*
Every morning when I have awoken it has been like a deafening silence. My dreams must have been absolutely cacophonous. I somewhat remember what I dreamt two nights ago but have no recollection of my dreams last night. But there was noise--so much pure noise--and when I awoke it was silent.
So silent that I thought I had lost my hearing.
I wonder if deaf people can hear in their dreams.
*-----*
I feel tired.
In my class this morning, we completed some review by examining Chinese horoscopes and the "said" characteristics of those born in the said years. My "rat" year was quickly guessed by my students. We played "Go Fish" in Spanish. It was fun, and we will resume classes on the 23rd, following their vacation to visit their daughter in (sigh) Oregon.
Perhaps I'm homesick--but I no longer have a place I really feel I am "home."
And that's about all I can muster today.
- Just a bit blah.
- Not sexy, not feeling very woman-like.
- My feet hurt horribly. Think I might need to go to the podiatrist. I have no weight issues that could possibly be a factor in painful feet, so I must need some sort of insole. Any recommendations or suggestions? I am now wearing indoor sandals (Montrail--they are awesome and on sale now at backcountry.com, if you are interested!) on my hardwood and ceramic floors 100% of the time, but that is not enough. I can no longer bear the pain to not wear them.

Hello!
ResponderEliminarI would really like to encourage you to consider immersing yourself again in music. Your message to me was helpful and very kind.
I am hoping that the music does me some good. I have missed it, but it does not feel good yet. I am hoping it will, however.

Try to focus on whatever you are happy and grateful for in your life, and let the rest wash aside, at least in terms of mood. You're going through tough times! I've been there. It's no fun.
ResponderEliminarProfessor, what a pleasure to see you here again. It has been a long time. Thank you likewise; I will do what I can. It might be even more theraputic to pick my violin back up now than I had previously thought. And I will let you know how it goes.
ResponderEliminarDads, I will. Thanks for checking in and taking care of your chick-a-dees.
Be well, both.
It has to be the rain... it makes me a bit pensive as well.
ResponderEliminarHope everything is fine with your hubby. Yikes.
This will pass. Be ok with how you feel today. That's the quickest way to let it go.
Take care.
T, you're probably right. And all is well. Cysts are different--but those of us who know by practice how to check ourselves learn to differentiate; education isn't so prevalent on self-checks for men, I'm sure.
ResponderEliminarBe well, T.
I always get a little down this time of year. Nothing like the down I get in winter though.
ResponderEliminarNow you've made me wonder if deaf people can hear in their dreams too. I don't know anyone who is deaf that I can ask.....
