Well, isn't that interesting.

Last post was the anniversary of my Mother's death in 2008.

Ever noticed that about yourself? The circular motion of our lives?

The constant repetition.

Anniversary of my Father's death will be here in August.

I so miss them both.

Well, emptied out 7 storage tubs packed up 4, two bags of trash, and one bag for donations. Taking a hard look at all my craft supplies... think someone else could put them to better use.

Packed up my stained glass pieces.

getting closer to done.

closer to gone.

Okay, goofed off all weekend. Time to buckle down.

What a mess I have made. oh well. My mess, my respond ability to clean.

I'm a little cupcake short and sweet,
here is my icing, here is my cake.
Take a little bite dear,
don't be shy,
here are some apples,
let's make pie.

I got to bet that your old man
Became fascinated with his own plan
Turned you loose, your mama too
There wasn't a thing that you could do

But I got faith in you
It's a razor love that cuts clean through
I got faith in you
It's a razor love that cuts clean through

You really made my day
With the little things you say
Looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something, I can't find yet

Imagination is my best friend
Got to look out for the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone on the road
There's no place like home, silhouettes on the window

Who was it made your eyes flicker like that
Tell me baby, how'd you get the knack
You came to me with open arms
And I really took you down the track

Now all I've got for you
Is the kind of love that cuts clean through
All I got for you is razor love
It cuts clean through

You really made my day
With the little things you say
Now I'm looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something I can't find yet

Imagination is my best friend
Got to watch out for the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone on the road
There's no place like home, silhouettes on the window

You really make my day
With the little things you say

you know that commercial where Grandma falls and can't get up??? That was me this evening. Laid on the floor crying for about 45 minutes.... cats just watching me.... so helpful. Tater ran to get roomie to help,..... but of course she didn't understand why he was just sitting in front of her and looking at her with his big brown eyes.

Sophie, my 85 lb goober girl, laid on the floor with me.... licking away my tears laying her giant body next to mine..... preventing shock I'm sure.

After all the tears and holding my left arm, Sophie wedged her big body under me to hold me up and steady me so I could stand again.... That is love in action...

Just in case you were wondering....

So day four of my hospital stay. After all that surgery 8 hours worth in 2012, my bypass grafts are dead or dying. Have one left. barely. so here I sit on the edge of a hospital bed. filled with tears and grief yesterday after receiving the news.... today just acceptance.

cause what else is there but acceptance? nothing.

not a damn thing. can't operate again. can't replace them. stints may cause more damage. so it's just wait and see what tomorrow brings.

that's it in a nutshell isn't it?

see what tomorrow brings.
