@shoelady60,

Good evening hey we are a pair sounds like you have what I have. Still feels like crappola. 😒

Let’s have a hot toddy and just try to get some rest. I one of my fireplace on and the heat.
Crazy weather for sure. So sad about the earthquake in Turkey. So many lives and so much
to rebuild if that is possible. My friend next door went there just a couple of month ago.

When the time is right I will ask if all his friends and family are safe.

Good luck with the Hockey Game I hope all goes well for your team. 😎

@oodiebom,

I am very happy for you getting help on the shed. I think someone is looking out for you. ✨
I hope the gentleman gets a hundred blessings. 🌹

You are on the move even if you are not feeling 100%. I am trying to get better I think I will
wear a warm sweater at all times to be on the safe side. I have not had a cold like this in years.
I have flare ups with the sinus but not like this. I have no coughing or temp so I hope to knock
this out and soon.

Enjoy your food tonight and I am so glad your husband is in a nice rehab place. 🌹

I can’t wait until it all comes together for you and I know it will be worth it. Patience is a virtue.

Feel better and get stronger Oodie. ✨🌹

@xango,

Oh My! What an adventure I am so glad you got the bird free before going to bed. Yikes!

Hey a few years ago we had a bat get in my cat jumped on my lap and kept looking up we had a
ceiling fan on and it was going around the ceiling fan. Well I screamed and our son was home
at the time and said that’s not a bird that a dang bat. I ran out of the house and called animal
control hubby was hiding under the covers because he did not want to get a bite. All ended
well we caught the little bat in a large cup and released him outside to freedom. 😎

I just picked up two packages outside I did not even know they were there I was trying to check
on the outdoor cats and take a look at the night sky.✨

I feel like crappola I just sprayed my nose and ate some soup and hot tea I don’t feel like
eating. My nose is clear so I think it is the weather and going in and out and this strange weather
we all have been having. I am going to take a shower and just rest and hope tomorrow is a
better day. ✨

Gloria
Song by Laura Branigan

Gloria, you’re always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you’ve got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you’re headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh oh oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A ha ha, a ha ha, Gloria, how’s it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don’t believe it’s comin’ back soon
And you really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Self Control
Laura Branigan

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It’s the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something’s breaking
Wearing white as you’re walkin’
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin’ only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story’s told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven’t got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I’ll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night (you take my self, you take my self control)
I’m living in the forest of my dream (you take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem (you take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I’ll make myself believe it (you take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh…
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It’s the night time that flatters
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven’t got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I’ll just believe it
Tomorrow never knows
A safe night (you take my self, you take my self control)
I’m living in the forest of my dream (you take m yself, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem (you take m yself, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I’ll make myself believe it (you take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh…
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control (oh-oh-oh)

@Sheba

I hope you feel better soon, the stew sounds delicious. Having enough for the freezer is always nice. I like doing just that, making enough to be placed in the freezer for a future date.
I made a small pizza for me today. Later I had a bowl of strawberries, they are in season here and very reasonably priced.
Those earings are quite beautiful, I bet it would look wonderful on you.

In the middle of writing this we had another bird adventure, it’s the second time this has happened. I opened the door to get my Amazon package that arrived this evening. It was to be delivered Friday, it came early. And I completely forgot to check making sure the little bird wasn’t in the wreath on the door.
As I opened the door, it flew so very fast right pass by right ear. I all saw was nothing! 😂😂 I heard wings and felt something go by. We looked all over the house, bedrooms, bathrooms, study , living room etc and nothing.
Finally husband grabbed a duster and stuck in under the TV room sofa. The little thing was hiding under there. How on Earth? I looked behind the sofa, behide the TV, end tables. I didn’t see it. After it came out from under the sofa, it flew back and forth from one end to the other end of the house. And then it made itself comfy up on the patio door curtains pole.
Finally it flew back to the TV room and then took a turn out the front door.

Well at least it knew to get out before I started watching State of the Union. 😂😂😂😂

Sending you some warmth from here. Take care and feel better Sheba. 💕 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️

Still hanging in there. The virus is still here and when I picked up the prescripts for hubby and myself there was nothing from the doctor’s office. So I called this morning and the Assistant said that was funny because she called in twice and said would try again.I have all the necessary items which my neighbor was kind enough to pick up. They had everything except the eye drops. So, need to call tomorrow for something else in it’s place.

Last night I stopped and ordered Asian takeout. So delicious. There is enough for today and tomorrow. I would order more except they are closed on Tuesdays. I also picked up the mail and was surprised to see that there was more space left in the box.

This afternoon, the next door neighbor helped to clean out our shed from top to bottom. This was one chore I dreaded. It is now done, clutter gone and one chore I don’t have to worry about.

I am trying my best to get things done. Very difficult when you spend all night coughing and then feeling weak when you fall out of bed.

To answer your question xango, all I know is that the rehab is on Manatee//sr 64. Our doctor’s office is ecstatic because they have a couple of physicians within their office that look after the patients. I couldn’t be happier either. I will try to see hubby either tomorrow or Thursday. First I need to get the antibiotics working and next the energy. This facility just happens to be the nicest I have ever seen. If we were up North it would be a regular convalescent home. What a difference.

Hello Oodie, I hope this little note finds you better. How are you feeling today?
And how is your husband doing? I hope you were able to see him. Is he in the one at 15th and 2nd? It sounds like a real good one.

I read your posts, I bet that new roof looks great and a good feeling that’s done.
We have had a few nice sunny days, warm but not hot. And the Full Moon this time was spectacular.

I hope you are getting better with each day. Take care Oodie.

Good afternoon in Oz. I have a wee bit of a cold also, throat was a little sore when I got up so drinking tea like you.☕ I know this is thanks to my dear husband.

Temps good for February but some rain coming this afternoon.🌧 Making salads for dinner.🥗 Hope the hockey team had a rebirth on their week off. Can’t afford to lose too many more.

I saw the Kelce mom on TV yesterday, she seemed to be proud of both of them.😊 Our local newspaper also had an article on PM saying he could be the next Brady.👍

Get well to both of us! We can thank all this crazy weather, we may have snow on Saturday.😣 Sending hugs your way.🤗💖

Habitual Anger

Anger can easily become our go-to emotion; to remedy, start noticing when and why you get angry.

Sometimes when we feel anger, it is coming from a deep place that demands acknowledgment and expression. At these times, it is important that we find healthy ways to honor our anger, remembering how dangerous it is to repress it. However, anger can also become a habit, our go-to emotion whenever things go wrong. Often this is because, for whatever reason, we feel more comfortable expressing anger than we do other emotions, like sadness. It can also be that getting angry gives us the impression that we’ve done something about our problem. In these cases, our habitual anger is inhibiting both our ability to express our other emotions and to take action in our lives.

If it’s true that anger is functioning this way in your life, the first thing you might want to try is to notice when you get angry. You might begin to see a pattern of some kind. For example, you could notice that it is always your first response or that it comes up a lot in one particular situation. If the pattern doesn’t become clear right away, you could try keeping a journal about when you get angry and see if you can find any underlying meaning. The good thing about keeping a journal is that you can explore your anger more deeply in it—from examining who in your family of origin expressed a lot of anger to how you feel when you encounter anger in others. This kind of awareness can be a formidable agent of transformation.

Anger can be a powerful ally, since it is filled with energy that we can harness and use to create change in the world. It is one of the most cathartic emotions, and it can also be a very effective cleanser of the emotional system. However, when it becomes a habit, it actually loses its power to transform and becomes an obstacle to growth. Identifying the role anger plays in your life and restoring it to its proper function can bring new energy and expansiveness to your emotional life. Amen. ✨✨
