| The Waxwings are back!! |
How is everyone today?
I hope you are doing well! I had
the strangest day (for me) yesterday and I’m still trying to put some sense
into it. You ever have one of the days
where everything goes just a little wonky and you can’t put your finger on why?
It’s almost like the Creator sticks his thumb on your life and makes it tilt in
a direction you don’t want. I had a day like that yesterday.
Everything started off just fine. Rob and I had a nice chat in the morning
before he went to work, excitedly talking about all sorts of upcoming things. I got my exercise in for the day before I
went to see Carmen for my massage because I wanted to make sure that if I was
gonna pull a muscle during my routine, I should do it BEFORE I saw her, right? Well, that all went smoothly, no surprises
there.
At Carmen’s we decided to start on my legs this time, after
I explained to her about Joey working on my shoulders and giving me all those
exercises to help strengthen those little muscles. Gosh, Carmen has magic hands, she really got
my legs all straightened out! It was
toward the end of our session and Carmen was doing some energy work on me and that’s
when all the weirdness started
happening. She was concentrating on one
side of me and we could both feel the energy flowing and then all of a sudden,
Carmen’s hands flew off me! She asked me
if I felt something unusual and I said yes, it felt different from the other
side. She told me that I had some built
up anger somewhere and she was feeling it really strongly! So, after a few
minutes discussion about what it might be, she went back and said it seemed to
be better just by me acknowledging it. So,
we finished up the session and I was feeling pretty darn good, even humming to
myself as I went back to the car.
But, for some reason, for the rest of the morning, I couldn’t
get warm. You ever have one of those
days? The weather was starting to
moderate back into the 50’s and the sun was shining, but no matter what I did,
I felt cold. I actually started thinking
I was coming down with something.
Shortly after that, Rob called and asked if I’d like to go to Pizza Hut
for lunch. Now, I love going there
because I’m a salad freak and they have a great salad. We always go early, before they let the kids
from the high school out for lunch at noon, as they are like a swarm of bees on
the pizza buffet! Well, we got there at
11:15 and they must have changed the schedule for the kids because it was
packed with the little munchers! Poor
Rob, every time they’d bring out a pizza, those kids would swarm it and there’d
be nothing left but the pan. Finally,
they got enough and Rob was able to get his pizza. I’m glad I don’t eat that stuff, apparently
salad is not high on the adolescent hit list as there was no fight for the
lettuce!
Eating lunch did nothing to stoke my inner fire, I just got
to feeling even colder. As Rob was dropping me off back at the house, friend
Ginnie called and asked me if I’d like to take a drive in her fun little beater
truck (not her regular vehicle) out to Klondike Ranch to see how all the baby
calves were doing. I explained that I
was really cold and I just didn’t think riding in that little truck was
sounding like a fun time at the moment.
She suggested I try warming up in my little portable infrared sauna,
which, of course, I hadn’t even thought of.
So, that’s exactly what I did.
That did help warm me up as the sauna gets up to 130 degrees. But the minute I got out of it, I was cold
again. So, I grabbed my blanket and snuggled into my recliner and took a nice
nap for most of the afternoon.
When I woke up at around 4 p.m., having had almost a three
hour nap, I actually felt worse than when I went to sleep. Rut ro, I kept thinking to myself, I must be
coming down with something! Not only that, I felt angry! You ever do that? Just wake up mad? Now, I’ve done that on
occasion, but I usually have a good reason.
Yesterday, however, I had no reason whatsoever to be feeling that
way. Playing with Thistle didn’t help,
either. It was almost like someone else
had taken over, like it wasn’t me. Rob
came home and I told him that I was feeling this way and that I apologize in
advance for any curt remarks I might make.
Of course, everything continued to conspire against me for the evening,
even!
I had just cleaned the barbeque grill last week so I decided
to make Rob a nice ribeye on the grill for dinner. I went out and preheated the grill and came
back 15 minutes later and the temp had only gone up to 300 degrees. What?
We fiddled and looked and fiddled some more, the gas was fine, full as a
tick, the jets were clear…. Ugh! I ended
up having to finish his steak on the stove, which just added to my lovely mood!
Rob likes his steak well done so I practically have to ruin a pan if I do it
inside. So, we got through dinner (mine
was leftover Chinese veggies from the weekend) despite all the crap I had to go
through.
So, for the rest of the evening, I just sat and did Reiki on
myself while Rob and I watched television and he went back and forth to work on
websites during commercials. Rob was
very understanding about my mood, although puzzled. You see, I’m a really happy person and this
just wasn’t like me.
We finally went to bed and I was sure that this was the end
of a bad day, just chalk this one up for the record books. No, not so fast, lady! About 1:30 this morning, dear little Thistle
decided to hork on the bed! THAT was the
crowning of the long day! Not only that,
but as I was going to get a towel to clean it up, I returned and she was eating
it! Yuck, yuck, yuck!!! She’s fine, of course.
Dogs hork like we cough, unfortunately.
I had just washed the bedspread this weekend, of course and will now
have to do it again.

So, I’m hoping that I’m over whatever that was
yesterday. I feel fine this
morning. I don’t feel angry or sad or
anything. I actually woke up with a song in my head again, so that’s good. I have no idea what could have triggered all
that meaness in me. I’m just glad I
recognized it and stayed away from people.
Today is supposed to be gorgeous weather again. I think first thing, Thistle and I are going
to go for a nice long walk and drop in on some friends down the street on our
way back. Just in case I have any
lingering madness, that should push it right out the backdoor of my brain,
right? Whew, maybe I was just making way
for spring, clearing out the cobwebs of winter, I don’t know. Thanks for listening……Let’s all have an
awesome day, shall we?
