The alarm goes off, I wake the kids. I kind of pushed the limits over the weekend and my body was not ready to move yet. I stay in bed and enter some sweeps while yelling to the boys every few minutes to make sure they get up and their buns ready for school. They are 11 and 12, so, luckily I have this leisure once in a while.
They get off to school, and I went back to bed. I just couldn't wake up. I was having one of my horrible dreams where I am the star in a horror film, running from some terrible creature or ax wielding psychopath. I am running as fast as I can down a high school hall way that leads to hidden hallways from long ago, I hit a trap door and I am now running through an old hospital with another nurse. She tells me to hide in the dryer. I spot a washer and dryer, and quick jump into the dryer. The dryer was another trap door! I fall into the grass, it is cool and wet and it is dark outside. A friendly hand reaches out to help me up. I know she is my close friend, I take her hand, baffled and confused. I am in dress wear, and there is a nighttime picnic going on. There is music and laughter and lights in the pavilion close by. I brush the dirt off of my knees, straighten my dress and we walk and laugh all the way to the party
When we approach, there is a man seated at the table who is holding up a poster of James Franco that says"You're Next!" It makes no sense and then I see the man holding it is James Franco! I said, "Are you EVERYWHERE these days?"
James gives me a charming smile and lets out a laugh and then his smile turns demonic and his teeth resemble the clown from IT by Stephen King and his chuckle turns into a maniacal and bone chilling laugh.
The killer is James Franco! I was never safe at all! The realization is so profound, I jump up in bed , holding my chest, breathing fast, heart pounding.
Whew, it was just another night in my head. Yes, people, typical for me.
I have to pee, so, I go downstairs. The dogs are all pushing in my way wanting my attention. I hurdle over them and make my way to the toilet. Success!
I take a few steps into the kitchen , my gaze fixed on the dishes piled around my reach to the coffee pot. Dishes that were my 17 year old daughter's responsibility last night.
As I am stewing in thoughts of the obstacles blocking me from my coffee when I slip, feels kind of like a banana peel, slippery and wet.
I look down and it is a lunch meat wrapper in a puddle of Charlie's pee! Charlie is my 15 year old dog that sometimes has trouble holding his bladder.
I then see trash all over the kitchen floor and Charlie decided to poo as well. Fun. And , of course, the child in charge of taking the trash out didn't do his night chore either!
I resolved not to let it get to me. It's hard to get me down. I feel quite a bit of pain today, so, I figure I will take it easy and work on reviews and sweepstakes.
I see a fb notification that starts"Congrats, Jacquelyn" ! Ahhh! Just what I need to turn this morning around.
I open the notification- It says I won this ruby and diamond necklace I really wanted. I even had it planned, should I win it, it will be Crysann's graduation present. And I won it! Oh how great! I go to read the instructions to claim and then read the next comments. "Jacquelyn, since you did not repley in the 72 hour time frame to claim your prize, we have chosen another winner"..........
BUMMER!!!! Oh man, this day!!!! Let me drink a cup of coffee, universe, before giving so many obstacles. I guess my manifestation meditation before bed last night just didn't take.
I was so annoyed, but, knew I could change my attitude still. I had a doctor's appointment set for 4:30. For once, I remembered to keep a log of all symptoms through the month. I was pretty excited to tell my doctor that I remembered to log it. I was supposed to go last week, First I showed up on time a day early, then my van would not start from the cold on the actual day!!! I was so excited to I went and checked the mail and what was the serious highlight of my day was that my new CoZone onesie arrived! It is a ridiculous big hooded red onesie with a butt flap that I can wear at home or even out! Ha! NICE. I was telling my nurse last time about some of the sweepstakes I win, I was going to wear it there and tell her how I won it. I knew she would get a kick out of it. I was pumped, I had my daughter start the van a half hour before and we went over my list to make sure I remembered everything. I was on my A game for at least one thing today. I really need to make this appointment. I have some weird stuff going on that needs attention. I am anticipating how it will go. Will we find a solution? Be closer to any answers? Or will it be just more questions, more appointments, more testing? I can feel my anxiety wanting to rear it's ugly head, but, I say, "Hey , you! NOT TODAY! " I have had enough crap for the day, I just know things are about to turn around.
I walk out the front door and it's so cold, but sunny. I think how nice it is that I can park on my side of the street tonight, My town has us switch sided of the road for snowplows from Oct.1-May 1st! And the best part, when it does snow, that plow does not come through until the mid-morning when people can park where they want. So the roads are always a mess.
Anyway, that is another rant on it's own! Haha! So, I get into the van-it's not running. I try to start it, it won't turn over....AGAIN.
Well, I wasn't amused very much with my Monday, but, I couldn't help but think as this day unfolded about how much my readers may have had "one of those days" as well and this might be the one thing that they laugh at all day. I'll suck it up. I'll share my misery and I hope it brought you all a little joy!
Good Night!
