I'm a little teapot .. or not.


These came in the mail today.  They make me happy.  Very happy, giddy – almost.

I’m a collector.  I admit it.


collecting


What is it that makes people collect .. stuff?  What draws someone to a particular thing?  I guarantee you there are plenty of people who don’t understand my love for vintage glassware or figurines.






And just what makes someone cross that threshold from collecting – into hoarding?

Things that make you go hmm-m-m ..

Apparently, there is always hope.


My son kind of lives in the back of the house while I live in the front.  He can come to the front of the house and spend time with me anytime he likes, but he is always incredibly involved in .. er.. something or other back there.

In the past people may have heard me say - no one will know if I die because God knows Andy will never notice if I don't come out of my room.  It's not that he'll think I'm sleeping, or that I have a day off work .. he just won't think about it.

On Monday I stayed home from work and spent most of the day in bed.  Thought I was working on birthing another kidney stone but it ended up okay.  Since there was pain involved I was only sleeping some of the time and at some point I heard Andy coming toward my room.  I opened my eyes and said "Hi Honey, what's up?" 

This is where it gets really strange.  He said he noticed my car, that I hadn't gone to work, and he was just checking ...
Do you hear the angels singing???  AH-H-H-H-H-H-H ......

My sleep might be a little more peaceful from now on.

TMI - what do YOU care?!?



I'm not sick.  Just uncomfortable.  There's a clicking in my left ear, kind of like it's trying to unplug in small measured beats.  Except it doesn't seem plugged up.  So . . . something knocking to get out?  Like my little pea brain?


There is the headache that's been there since last night, a stiff neck and some really nasty, heinously disappointing stuff going on since SURPRISE I'm not in menopause after all.  Hell, one can dream, can't one?  But - I had a wonderfully UNeventful  5 month streak goin' on.  That luck I was all about on Thursday?  Gone.


The pap was normal, so was the mammogram, yay.  Important stuff but my head hurts.  


Just wanted to say hi.  HI.


Are you feelin' it?  Okay, sinus meds it is.  And maybe a diaper.  I didn't say that, did I?  No, you imagined it, don't worry.
