Dreams, Cooking, & Cards

Tossed and turned last night. Not sure why.  Several dreams, one nightmare where I was laying in bed, heard something in the living room like a heavy duty animal or monster that was stomping or running hard towards my bedroom.  I think my sister was in bed with me and we both just laid there instead of getting to close and lock the door.  Then the outline of a lions head was standing there. Almost in silhouette; never did actually see his face or eyes or body. Just the head.  He stood there and then left.  Now what the hell was that about?!  I've got a dream book but I'm not much impressed with it.  You can't turn to a specific subject and have it tell you anything like any good dream book would!

Found one lone flower still growing in a pot on the side of the house so I broke it off and brought it to the kitchen so it can spend its final days in comfort.

Got my Christmas cards mailed. Didn't wait for verification on an address and then found out they don't live in Toutle WA now. They're in WV.  Couldn't figure out why December was missing from this cool calendar I have with birds on it.  Now I think perhaps I took December off cause it had the year in full and I wanted that.  (In case you care)  ha ha

Bugs are bugging me.  Found a sluggish bee near my recliner. Not sure where he came from. Was grabbing a hand towel in the bathroom and this big ole spider comes slithering down the wall. I flushed him down the sink for scaring me.

I made roasted vegetables for supper and cooked them on a piece of paper that I thought was for cooking but was only for sewing!  House still smells even though I kept the door open. I ate them all so here's hoping I didn't poison myself.  If I did, well, goodbye.

I got a few odds and ends done around here today. Covered an outside faucet against the cold temps we've been warned are coming next week. They're talking snow too but I'm hoping they're just trying to get us all worked up and bothered like they often do with weather reports.

Finally remembered (hate my memory) that Pandora Music is on my laptop.  I've been so annoyed with KIXI 880 am out of Seattle that won't come in clear and then I get weary of John Tesh's stupid tips on how to live my life. Sequim's station is annoying me too.  Way too cutesy with their volunteer ladies and they read the weather report over and over and over until I want to scream.  I probably need medication. Everything's been pissing me off lately.

Watched The Highwaymen on PBS last night.  I think it was last night.  I sure do love those guys.  Always regret never getting to sleep with Waylon Jennings.  ha ha

My left pointing finger has been bothering me all week.  Itching.  Couldn't understand why but I think I have a clue now. I've been knitting every night and I push the yard up with that finger. Guess my skin doesn't care for it.  Usually I crochet instead of knit but I think I might go back to cross stitch as my crocheted afghans keep end up looking crooked.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong but then I've always been real lame when it came to using needles and following patterns, etc.

Went through my coats and closets today to move the spring stuff to the back and move the heavier things forward.  Some aren't fitting me very well so all the more reason to stick with this diet. I found one fleece jacket that I think I'll give to Sam, my homeless guy downtown.

Well, just got a text message from Maddie saying she's stopping by after work tomorrow to help me tack my bird pictures up to my sewing room wall. So nice to have a sweet granddaughter.  Jenni's at a retirement party for some friend of hers so it's just me and Sammy hanging out.  I'm wondering if I need to open the sliding glass door a while longer.  That's twice now that this room has been filled with burning plastic.  At this rate, my weight won't kill me. My stupidity will!
