My Chaotic Realm

>>>Well, Saturday started off well enough...but then I got a migraine around 11am... and I could not take my pain meds because I was scheduled to donate blood @ 12:15pm. :-( But I got all that done and made it home, finally. Took meds @ 2pm, woke up around 9pm (mostly) pain free, so I reheated some dinner and watched "The Aviator". Good movie, I thought. Then back to bed 12:30-10:30am and awoke feeling whole again. >>>My mom sent me some nifty papers so I made greeting cards and drank my coffee for a couple of hours. Got 25+ made. I leave them blank inside so I can fill them out as needed. Pam says I should package them in groups of 6-8 for and sell the sets for $5 each. >>>Weds is the monthly Pagan Meetup dinner... Mom also sent new outfit so I think I will debut it for that. Like I need an excuse to dress up? LOL. And Jayce over tonight to work on his FAFSA for sophomore year at college.

...everybody's working for the weekend.... :-) Well, okay, not really WORKING. Maybe that is an overstatement? I have a relaxing weekend planned after being in Idaho all of last weekend. Working for a few hours tomorrow, then off to the Blood Drive... vampiric souls love my AB+. Rick is now a granddaddy!! He shared the news with me mid-week...is his first, hopefully not the last (he says). Got some new software that I can play with under the guise of "Work" whilst I design brochures and the like. Pagan Meetup is next Weds, I am so looking forward to it... still have not read the book Aust suggested...damnit! However, I did read 3 others in the last week. Either my reading list is too long, or I just don't have as much free time as I would like. I could wonder why that is, but I KNOW why... because I have places to go & things to do today! What a gift... a life I ENJOY!

I must say, I had a terrific time in Boise w/my online group of gals!! I was not the "outgoing all the time, gotta go gotta go" gal that I wanted to be perceived as, but I was me and that is what matters. I took some time to myself to rest and I took time to soak up the energy of the gals I was with. Wow... 20 this year? OMG, come a long way since Houston in 2000, I think 8 of us attended. Next year is Fort Worth!! Close to home, I am so excited!! After that, back to the Winter Wonderland as it will be held in Chicago! Only time I've been there is when I had a connection to make @ O'Hare. ..I've never stepped outside the airport. Got home just after 1am Tuesday, got a few hours sleep & then into work. Ouch. Got the bill for Celica repairs at midnight when Amy dropped me at shop... $575. Another OUCH! Arrived home last night around 6pm with a list of chores. Unpacked, did 2 loads of laundry plus my bedding, scooped both cat litters, changed out Lizzie's sh...
