I learned last night that the cancer is already in her lungs, and I don’t know if it’s because it wasn’t found early enough in her colon, or if she just refused to tell anyone.
She lives in Boston, and I’ve never met her, though I have seen her. I’ve never met her daughter, but I have met her son, so my involvement will be remote at best.
Said involvement is probably going to be very tightly restricted to helping Busdaddy deal with the rapid decline of her health and the almost certain unexpectedly sudden death.
He is working through the grief, too, but doesn’t realize it. I don’t know about her. She was here a couple of years ago (maybe a year) and he took pics; she had been a beautiful woman, but the pics showed she was VERY ill. Something I had no right to point out.
Anyway, don’t worry about me, though I thank you for your concern. I doubt he will go to her funeral, though I’m sure his son will. His daughter? Unless the woman left money in her will for that specific purpose, I doubt she will go either.
Why am I up? Stupid dreams again, I bet...
Some dreams were even a repeat of dreams I’ve had already this week. It’s pretty sad when even your dreams are reruns...
I wouldn't know if my dreams are reruns or not. My mental TV is shut off when I'm asleep.
I think it's because I consume its daily allotment of operating fuel by exercising my imagination while I'm awake.
That's possibly a better use of that asset, but it sure leads to some weird ideas.
I blame this on CFIDS, actually, as it’s notorious for “vivid dreams.” A contributor is melatonin. If one takes more than the suggested dosage, one could be subject to “vivid dreams.” Vivid dreams plus vivid dreams make for a nightmarish night.
I’ve learned to live with most of them, but others are “prophetic” in nature and they scare me into wakefulness...they seem to have a cumulative effect until “something” happens.
Any way you look at it, I don’t like dreaming.
My dreams had to do with schedule conflicts. I could say they were prophetic, but since the schedule conflicts happen all the time ...
I didn’t get up until 6:30. Jake was furious!
The dreams of wakefulness are visions of hope and ambition. Dreams in the night represent the unsettled matters we've pushed away from our focused consideration.
They do not stay distant for long. Like thirsty insects, they hover around the doorways of consciousness, waiting to slip in and exact their retribution.
No one likes a tardy minion.
The sun is trying very hard to come over the mountain peaks to the east, and I’m always grateful to see it. It’s only 44 degrees here, and is only supposed to get to 61, but at least it won’t be raining.
The “official” snowfall amount on Mt. Charleston after this storm is 10”. YAY! It looks so pretty! The Sheep Range to the north got some, too, but the peaks aren’t as high as Charleston.
Today, if I do nothing else, I need to sort clothes for washing this week. Busdaddy will be in Bakersfield from Wednesday until the 10th, racing, so I’ll go over to his place and take EVERYTHING washable and run up his water bill! A little on the power bill, because I hang-dry most of my clothes, but I’m sure it will fill up the back of my truck.
Tuesday is my stress test, and I’m just not excited about it. I just want to get it over with. After that, I can schedule the dental work to start. YAY!!!
See? That's why I don't want to sleep...insex. insects.
Usually, I can put things aside until I have a quiet moment to resolve them, but when my dreams are invaded by nocturnal equines, my natural logic and problem-solving abilities are scarmabled.
Something about every day being a stress test ...?
It’s supposed to be 70 here. I need to go to Walmart again. Maybe I’ll remember to exchange the dress. Maybe I’ll remember to get milk. I suppose a list would be a good idea.
Yep, every day is a stress test of some kind. The one on Tuesday is going to give me hot flashes that I really don’t want to deal with. I hope it’s the VERY LAST dose of radioactive isotope that I ever have to take.
Tomorrow I will hit the ground running, and maybe I’ll get everything on the list. I used to be able to shop with a mental list, even if I left the paper list at home, and I would get everything on the list. Now though, I often write things twice or three times without realizing it, and if the list is in my hand, it’s a safe bet I won’t get something(s) that’s on it.
It’s frustrating.
Morning T-c and everyone. Am a lowly student. That is why I ask so many questions.
Gee ... I know I didn't wake up in there but am experiencing the same weather today.
The mental institution let me leave my room today! YAA!!!
Right now the sun is shining and there are no clouds in the sky, so I feel pretty good. I think.
That’s Great Face! {{HUGS}}

Not to worry. Someday you’ll be a Master of Undead Sciences.
I know the truth regarding that ... I’ll just be dead.
