Thanks Crown! Happy October Arrives!
October is a special month for me, Solice with several birthdays, the Canadian Thanksgiving, my wedding anniversary and Halloween; this year it will also pave way to an amazing jazz/reggae-ish night of entertainment and the Elton John Farewell Yellow Brick Road concert.
My dad and I are planning a short trip together so that Thanksgiving and my wedding anniversary (without my husband) becomes a special weekend instead of a sad one; we'll make new memories.
I had a dream about a blue, purple and black dragonfly and all of a sudden my husband was coming through a doorway with a tremendous light behind him and then when I saw his face and him walking without too much trouble, I realized it wasn't right. His face was a mix of his and Ian McKellen's (he didn't resemble Ian).
In the dream, I was catching the injured dragonfly to mend a damaged wing and my husband had come to congratulate me on healing it and returning it to it's family.
Too bad my husband's face was more wrinkly and his hair was longer and grayer than normal because that's what woke me up. I found myself looking toward the bedroom doorway when I woke up with a jump in my heart. He wasn't there.
That was at 2:22 a.m. and O'Malley heard me stirring and came along to see if it was time to rise and shine. It wasn't. I managed to get back to sleep and this time my dream took me to my old neighbourhood. I was running in the air and flying a bit through the schoolyard toward the back view of my old house where I celebrated my first Christmas when I was barely a year old.
I woke up with a smile on my face.
Keep a merry thought in your head.
Thanks Crown! Today has already turned into a sweaty mess for us.
Love it!
My in-laws have a wicked sense of humour and right now they have a life size skeleton sitting in a rocking chair with a life size skeleton dog next to it and the skeleton is petting the dog.
Brilliant!
Merry Tuesday!
Merry October!
Apparently my brother is in no shape to get out of rehab yet (although the nurse I talked to this morning said he was doing better), so I have a bit of time on my hands to finish getting the place ready. Monday the new furnace guy comes to do the yearly check. Earlier in the year the company we had been doing business with since I was in grade school sent out someone new and he didn't put all the screws back into the squirrel cage and it fell partially out. Sounded like a helicopter in the house. He had to come back out and the company charged us another service fee. Time to switch to someone new!
Just work and organizing for me the rest of the week. I am hoping to make it out to the rehab center to see my brother, but if not at least I can talk to him on the phone. He is eating better and his hair is starting to grow back. I think it has been over two months since he had the radiation treatments ~ hard to believe. Time is going by in a strange way of late what with all the stress and worry I've been under. That is why I am so thankful to come here and visit with everyone and to listen to Christmas music ~ great stress reliefs!
The leaves are falling off a few of the trees now although there hasn't been much color changes yet. Rain and storms in the forecast for the next several days and the temperatures are going to drop down into the low 40s at night. Today it is going to be in the mid 80s.
Have a merry month of October, my friends!
