I had a dream....

Last night I dreamed there were strangers in the house. They were throwing everything around and knocking pictures off of the wall and really making a royal mess. Then they began demanding to know why I was in their house. I woke in a sweat and was very afraid. It took getting up and going through the house to really believe it was a dream. It was around 4:00AM before I fell back to sleep and that sleep was only fitful.

I had to call the doctor today. He'd said that if I wasn't better after taking the series of antibiotics that I should call. Well, I'm not better...still running a fever...jaw, throat, neck, etc. still hurts...still feel awful...so I called. He gave me two options, either make an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, or take another series of antibiotics. Well, I opted for the medication and he called it in. I got back from picking it up a while ago, still in shock. It cost $122.99!!!!! Ouch!!!! Hope it works.

Better

I think the antibiotics are beginning to work...I feel slightly better...ear doesn't hurt as much, nor does my jaw. Science is amazing.

I'll have to go to work tonight...missed 4 days last week. Can ill afford that.

Talked with Mother yesterday. She had some interesting ideas about this dilemma I'm in. Will pursue them when I'm feeling much better.

Answer to Beth

Hi Honey,
Yes, we are going to have to move. I don't know where. Things are a mess here...I'm sick. Finally went to the doctor on Thursday and am on an antibiotic and a decongestant. Should be better soon. Mike doesn't know that I've said anything about the forclosure. I'd like to keep it that way for now. According to what he's telling me, he found out yesterday at the courthouse that we have approximately 45 days to get our ducks in a row and get out of the house. I'm a little frightened. He won't talk to me about it and when I try to get him to he gets mad. Yesterday I asked him if I should try to find a place for me in NC...he said he didn't care and to do whatever I want. Then today he asked me if I wanted to go out for supper. Stranger than strange.

I don't know what happened to my post yesterday...I can't find it anywhere...but it said that it posted 100 percent. Obviously it didn't.

I'm glad that Bruce and David have gone back to work. Isn't it a relief to know it was all a misunderstanding!

Meemaw and Bert (the doctor who delivered Rosie) got married a year ago. She's 79 and he's 86 (I think). They seem very happy. They do a lot of partying and traveling. They are going on a cruise for Christmas.

Stuff

The weather for the past two days has been glorious! We've had beautiful blue skies and light breezes with temperatures in the mid to low 70's during the days and low 50's at night. This morning the weatherman said to enjoy it while we can because the heat will be back tomorrow.

I've made no decisions reguarding my life or marriage as of yet, but it's high on my priority list. Something must be done, and soon. We'll know the status of the foreclosure on the house this next week, I hope.

Interesting day

Today was a little different for me, instead of working this evening, I worked 9:30-4:30...boy am I not used to that sort of stuff! Was I ever tired when I got home!!!!!

What was even worse than being tired was seeing Mike try to rush out to the garage with the beer he was trying to hide from me. What am I going to do? I found out today that I can go to the courthouse and file for divorce (if it's uncontested) without a lawyer...is that the answer? I sure wish I had a crystal ball. This life of trying to pretend that things are okay is not doing either of us any good and I really don't like it. God, I don't like it!

Spinning in place

There is so much that needs to be done...so much that I need to do, yet here I sit on the computer just spinning in place and getting absolutely nothing at all done. I'm smarter than that, I know better, but here I am...spinning, spinning almost out of control.

Ah! A paragraph! don't know how it happened, but hallelujah!!

It's going to be cold this weekend...down into the 50's at night and just into the 70's during the day. If I had a fireplace I'd bring in wood! Maybe I'll make a pot of chili or stew or something else comfortable and hot...is it time for my long johns?

Rain, rein, reign

Funny isn't it how something that sounds the same can be so different. It's raining today from tropical storm Matthew (t.s. Nicole is far out in the Atlantic) and no matter how I reign, I can't rein the rain. This makes absolutely no sense, but somehow pleases me. I've still got that damn paragraph thing going...this may be the final screw in the hinges that are holding me together. I'm coming unglued, unscrewed, etc. Unhappy doesn't begin to describe the feelings I'm having now...faced with the prospect of...can't say it yet. Had a funny thing happen yesterday. I was standing on the back porch trying to get Shirley to jump over Mercy and come out with me. When all of a sudden, a large globby, wetish thing fell onto the top of my head. As I stood holding the door and using my foot to keep Mercy in the house and urging Shirley to jump over and out I was flinging my one free arm around trying to entice the dog, deter the cat and find out what was on my head...I bashed myself in the nose so hard that I saw stars, was sure I was going to have a nose bleed (didn't) and it hurt for hours. As I reached up to the top of my head, a very large frog jumped off of it and just sat on the water jug he landed on and appeared to laugh at my antics. The dog came out, the cat stayed in and the frog got away and we all lived happily ever after...oh, I guess that's the end of someone else's story.

It is Fall today!

Today is glorious! There is little to no humidity and the temp is in the low 80's! It feels like FALL!!! How wonderful! It's to be in the 60's tonight. One tends to live for this type of weather here! I don't know what is the matter with this dumb blog thing, not only can I not make a new paragraph, but it types each new word under the sentence I'm working on and then when I hit the space bar it throws what I typed into its proper place. This is rather maddening! Personally, things aren't so hot right now...don't know what to do or how to do it. Perhaps I'll get it sorted out, perhaps I won't. I wish for a long sleep.
