There's No Snow in Florida

******Hello******

Let it...Rain????  That's about all we'll get down here in SW Florida.  Let it rain, and pray for a cold front.  Let it snow doesn't sound practical for sub-tropical weather.  But what do I know.  I don't know if I have a frozen heart or not, but I definitely know there is ice in my veins.  I'm anemic, and while it was humid outside and my body didn't feel it, my hair sure did.

We had a very humid Christmas and Christmas eve.  I also got sick on Christmas Eve day.  My son gave me his cold.  Ah, what a wonderful Christmas gift to have.

Unfortunately, my brain is mush and I can't think straight.  I've been busy not only being a caregiver to my husband, but my husband's step father.  He was 86 years old, and he started dialysis about a month ago.

Realistically, the doctors or nurses should have only prescribed him to be on dialysis once and see how things went from there.  Instead, they put an 86 year old man on there for four hours.  FOUR hours.  The other old people in there were on dialysis for less time than that.  What is wrong with people.

Ugh!!!  I really can't think about this right now.  My poor father-in-law (or so to speak), passed away on Christmas day.  I'm still trying to reel it all in.

Enclosed is a poem from William Blake that I found on Sunday when the prompts were given...How weird that this poem would be relevant in such a time like this....

O Rose thou art sick
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm;

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy

~~William Blake

Evergreen

"

"If you're going through hell, keep going."

~~Winston Churchill



The wind will never blow my way
As I pass the evergreen shrubs
And, well.  If I'm going through hell, 
I'd might as well keep on going
 Because I know someday
Some day
 Things will turn in my favor.

Namaste~~May the light in me, shine the light within you.

Random Ramblings #4

Cooking bacon reminds me of the movie Gremlins, where they were all bubbling at the end of the movie due to water. Am I the only one that thinks like this? Eh, probably. ~~DJ

Random Ramblings #3

I swear I have a blog in the works. Everything has just been chaotic lately. How chaotic? Let's just say I'm typing in a memo through the phone. It's funny how my brain starts working when I'm anywhere but home where I should be.

I may have lost my motivation.

Being Absent

Hey All!

It seems that with the holidays approaching, I become more disconnected from all kinds of worlds...Social media included.

I don't really know why I get this way, but I do.  The holidays are a depressing time for me.  I have loved ones that need to be taken care of, or I have fake people trying to start a fight with me due to their own insecurities.  In the meantime, I'm trying to make jewelry for the Etsy thing.

I've made a few bracelets so far, but I'm noticing trying to make certain bracelets with certain beads isn't working out well for me.  I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with it, but I am.

So today, I made a necklace...Though I'm not planning on selling it.  I am going to give it to my grandma.  I will have to post pics soon.

Ah, other than the writing prompts in the group I'm in, and other than my journal I hand write in, I haven't been putting myself out there in cyber world lately.

I guess getting accused of saying something about someone when it could be anyone that I'm referring to--even characters in a book or short-story I'm writing about--I guess it can take all of your energy.

Of course, I won that argument, but still...It bothers me knowing there are such evils out there in the world.  It bothers me knowing that even as adults, heading towards middle age, there are bullies out in this world.  I think some forget that we're no longer in junior high school anymore.

I'd better shut up now before they read this and assume I, yet again, said something bad about them...

No, this is a story about one of my characters, and she has a friend that is so jealous, she will do whatever it takes to make the main character unhappy.  But all does work out in the end...

Another mindless rambling from me yet again....

Until next time...
