Dare i suggest that spring is actually going to
happen? It's glorious outside today - i've got the urge to go out - and since i'm a
definite indoor person, that's really saying
something. i think it's helping my mood a bit as
well.
Yesterday i struggled to stay emotionally level. If
it weren't for the fact that i know my hormone balance is
consistently the same every day, and the fact that i know
where part of the source of my depression is coming from,
then i'd be suggesting i'm starting menopause. But
my magic little "harmony" pills (read hormone
therapy) keep me pretty consistent. Only natural occurrences
- lack of sleep or life altering events - can usually
throw me off. And even Himself admits that in the
grand scheme of things - He's the moody one, not
me.
But now a thought has occurred to me - if He's the moody
one and i attribute that to the fact that He's a highly
artistic type individual who lives in the right side of
His brain most of the time, then will i become more moody
as i continue the journey into my own
creativity?
Or am i just being daffy :-)
Today, although feeling a tad tired from staying up too
late, i seem to be in better spirits. It's probably
a combination of having dinner with a good friend last
night and lots of chatting, the weather, and the fact that
my son will be around later on. All good things
indeed.
So Spooker and i had another war with a mouse. The
mouse won this time - i took pity on it. It was a
grand adventure while it lasted however - Himself came out
of the bedroom to find me holding a large piece of
cardboard on the floor across the entrance to the bathroom
- the door closed and a rampaging cat and mouse war
occurring behind it. Himself mumbled "greaaattt"
and left us to it.
When all was quiet, i opened the door. The mouse had
found a hiding spot. i moved a cabinet, talking to
the cat all the while, and voila! Said mouse was
found again. i got out of the way.
They ended up back out in the hallway, with the mouse
trying to crawl into a slipper to hide. i told the
cat that letting the mouse crawl into my clothes was NOT
acceptable. The cat chased the mouse back into the
bathroom with me following close behind grumbling;
"just kill it!" The mouse was a feisty
little devil though - a couple of times it stood it's
ground and attacked back. Heh.
The mouse managed to crawl into the grate covering the
heat vent. The cat was totally confused as to where
it went, but i could see about an inch of tail sticking
out. That's when i started to feel bad for the poor
thing. i ended up pulling out the grate and carrying
it and the clinging mouse outside - a couple of quick
shakes and it was running across the grass. If it's
smart it won't come back, but i'm not placing any bets on
that.
Our financial woes don't seem to want to leave us
lately. It's not like we are down and out or
anything - it's just all these extra expenses seem to keep
wanting to happen. Enough already! Himself had
to take the car in for a new sticker and emissions testing
and it was $1,500.00 later before we got it back.
That was two weeks ago. Now it appears the fuel pump
has gone - and the pump alone will be another
$500.00. That's before labour and taxes thank you
very much. The car is currently in the driveway -
refusing to start - and waiting for a tow truck.
Then Himself discovered that the bed frame is
broken. How the heck did we manage to break a cast
iron bed frame? (Insert lewd expression and evil
grin here) We had to clear out all His artwork
that we've had stashed under the bed and put it out of
harm's reach - just in case the one screw that is
desperately holding everything together, finally has a
blow out. Then this morning He decided to test the
screw's stamina by errr.. screwing. (insert definite evil
grin here)
So i'm thinking my Sunday is off to a great start
:-)
