My birthday is coming up and my son asked me what he could get me. I told him he didn't need to get anything but he persisted. I told him an apple gift card. Today I was asked why would I want an apple gift card. I told John he wasn't going to like the answer... It is for my game. His head dropped and he looked at me like I had grown horns on my head. I told him No Judging!!! I have been in isolation for 7 weeks!!! So yes I am playing a game and we are in a fashion house and we win! In fact my daughter asked if she could be in the same house as me. I don't know how my world is going to change when we learn how to navigate pandemics. Hopefully we aren't caught again as unprepared as we were this time! So in the middle of the night when I can't shut down my anxiety, I might be playing my game!
Some T-Shirt humor to go with my anxiety nights when I am not sleeping!

Friday ended up being a very grumpy day (Yes! Another one!) And going with my motto for tomorrow is another day, I decided that I would go to bed and start over tomorrow! There was just one problem with that theory... My usual bedtime is not 7:30 pm. I went to sleep really well and when I woke up about midnight that just didn't work for Tomorrow is Another Day! Yes, it was the next day. No one was awake except me... or so I thought! then out of the blue my friend Kari text messages me! We text messaged back and forth for a couple of hours and then she told me that she couldn't stay up any longer. That was okay because I was almost ready to go back to sleep! (Another 2 hours later! hahaha!) Today was definitely another day and I am going to continue with that motto until I get it right!!! If you are awake in the middle of the night just text message me... You never know, I might be awake!
My allergies are so bad and my eyes are just crying away! Because it is hard for me to see I have been speaking my text messages to Siri... and in doing so my text messages turn out really crazy! Today for a joke I sang my text messages to Siri and was waiting for just how bizarre they were going to turn out! Here is what I found... Siri understands when I sing SOOOO much better then when a speak! LOL Since I love to sing silly little goofy songs that I make up my own words to this could be a good thing!!!! Singing to Siri!!! I think I might be texting a little more today! LOL I am not quite as grumpy today as I was yesterday! WooHoo!!! Music makes the world go round! And helps us Kung Fu Fight the grumpies away! It is spring time and "all the world is green" (A little bit of a song from my childhood!) and with that green comes pollen and with that comes allergies!!! My eyes, nose, ears... everything ITCHES! and RUNS! We need to sign a petition for removal of all allergies! (There seems to be a petition for everything else!) Oh my gosh I am grumpy today! Fair warning is going out. It is probably not the best day to be my friend! LOL I went online to do a little shopping... That should help except that everyone has already purchased what I wanted! All I see is out of stock, and back ordered! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!! You are adding to my grumpiness! I definitely need t-Shirt therapy to help me get out of this mood! I am getting my cricut machine up and going! I am going to be making those T-Shirts so I can get my laughing happy mood back! Wish me luck on learning how to do all this! Okay this t-shirt made me laugh! I was a teacher for many years and there were times like days and weeks before Christmas or other times when the students had so much energy and the focus of the energy was not centered on what would help them the most at the time, that we would tease about medicating them. The joke was having a mist of spray of meds that would help to calm them down as they walked through the door. When I heard about the people that blocked all the roads to the hospital because they wanted business opened back up, after first being horrified, my second thought was maybe we should medicate them all with my anxiety meds! LOL That was some pretty ridiculous thinking, putting other people's lives of not being able to get to the care they needed. That is what anxiety does, alters the logic in people's thinking. (Maybe we should medicate everyone with anti anxiety meds. LOL (People acting like that gives me anxiety and then round and round we go! Oh, round and round we go! I am singing that! LOL) As lives of loved one are being affected with this covid19 and other diseases my anxiety spikes! So it is time for some T-shirt Therapy to bring my spirits up! Super powers, the cat in the hat, and whatever else me need to smile in even laugh in these hard times! Today is the anniversary of my dad's death. He has been gone for 35 years. Today was a sad day but also a day of happy remembrances. My dad was a very kind man that helped people all the time and taught me some really fun awesome lessons. My first foray into farm life was when my dad took over the farm chores for a friend of ours that had a heart attack. He took me with him to be his helper. I don't think I was much help. I watched while he milked the cow until he tried to show me how. It took me, it felt like forever, to get any milk to come out and when the milk was warm I was quite taken aback! LOL Dad got a chuckle out of my surprise and took over. I helped him gather up the eggs and the eggs were blue! Where were those white eggs! Dad explained that different types of chickens laid different colors of eggs! As a young child my attention span wasn't very long and I soon found myself chasing chickens more than gathering eggs. ;) When it came to feeding the horses I had no problems with that. They definitely held my attention! Those other animals just didn't!
My dad and mom every year picked a family that was having hard times and we would buy Christmas presents. I got to help pick out presents and wrap them. (That was back when I LIKED to wrap! Hahaha) Then we would go to the family's house and put the presents on the porch and then door bell ditch! I absolutely loved doing that! What a wonderful lesson my parents taught us! Dad use to volunteer to help everyone! And he didn't keep the volunteering just to him, he volunteered me for babysitting services to young couples that needed a time to themselves. I remember the first time he volunteered me for a certain family with several kids and had the reputation of having wild little boys! I was not very happy after all my friends had warned me. My dad took me aside and talk to me and explained that those boys weren't wild they had a lot of energy like my brothers and I had. (My little sister Jen was an angel! haha) That their mom had them everyday and was tired and I would have no problems with keeping up with the boys and this is a kind thing to do. (He guilted me into it!) And he was right, I didn't have any problems keeping up with the boys and did not find it to be what all my friends said it was. I actually had fun! My dad's motto was: Treat people with Love and everything else will take care of itself,. (My dad was a kinder, gentler person than I am, that had a very dry, wicked sense of humor... Just ask his sister...) My motto is the same as Scarlett O'Hara's: Tomorrow is Another Day... (I mess up a lot and I keep having to start over again the next day! LOL) Love you and miss you Daddy! Happy Easter, Passover or wonderful Sunday! I recently had experiences where I felt like I made a difference in someone's life! I was able to help someone with a child that had behavioral challenges. (My degree is still valuable!) I also had a cousin tell me that when his family was talking about someone that had help strengthen them he said that I was that person for him! It is so amazing to know that we make a difference in people's lives! Everyone of us makes a difference in someone's life, we just don't always know that we do. Making people aware that I love them and that they make a difference in my life is going to be my goal! (I probably shouldn't have announced that because I will fall short in areas that is just the nature of the human beast! LOL) I also had a facetime chat with my grandkids in Cache Valley! It is so great to see them! Poor Cinch had an accident and has a hurt finger and is now minus a fingernail! (I think he takes after his grandma!) Riatta has another dance trophy! And Tagger is getting so big and showing me his Easter haul of candy and little toys! I love those kids! (I love all my grand kids and I know awesome kids when I see them!) My eye sight has finally cleared up a little bit although my eye still hurts where I stabbed myself with my pencil! I seriously am the most clutziest person!!! I doubt that there are many people that can say that they poked their own eye with a pencil! I need to wear a T-Shirt that says I meant to do that! (That is what I use to tell my students all the time! Everytime I tripped, fell, or dropped something!) I am migraine free today with just a residual headache! Hallelujah!!! I now do not need to take a hammer to my head to try and get rid of the pain! Doing the happy dance is still beyond me so I will let someone else dance for me! No one has made the T-Shirt that I need to wear today! I as soon as my migraine meds kick in enough I am going to finally hook up my cricut machine!!! (And get a hold of my Dawnie, the T-Shirt making queen if I am failing miserably!)
In my search for my T-Shirt therapy these were the closest I could find! I need other T-Shirts for my true crime - try to solve cold case obsession - love of forensic science! I hope to have some good T-Shirt therapy! I am going to try and sleep the migraine off in the dark of my room! I might listen to my favorite podcasts when I fill a little better! If you love true crime and maybe helping with solving cold cases these are the podcasts to listen to: The Murder Squad, The Fall Line, Unsolved For just true crime: Crime Junkies, Canadian True Crime, (If you can handle comedy with true crime and some bad language) My Favorite Murder. (Might be some help with getting through the stay at home time we are going through!) We are officially in week five of Isolation!!! We are increasing in number!!! My brother is quarantined in the basement for 2 weeks and if all goes well he can join us upstairs!! We of course are shouting to each other so the conversation can still happen while he is in quarantine. (We have never had a problem with volume! Lol) We are very social people! I have myself a little calmer now and I think i can concentrate enough to do crafts! I think it is funny that crafting helps me be calm and yet I couldn't do crafting until I was calmer! Now that is a catch 22. (Round and round I go... Oh round and round I go... I was singing that! HAHA) I have been singing all kinds of music from when I was a little girl. I have been singing nursery rhymes, and commercial jingles, and every kind of music from past generations! I am driving my mom nuts! (She cant complain because she taught me well!!!) Something you might not know about me but I am a clutz!!! Big time clutz! Last night I cut my finger and then I manage to poke the pencil into my eye and put a little cut into the whits of my eye! I am having a little bit of problems seeing because my eye keeps tearing up! So if there are mistakes in my blog today I get to blame it on my clutziness!!! (Because I know all my other posts have been totally grammatically correct with all the spelling correct... NOT!!! But so fun to have something to blame the mistakes on !) At our house we are doing pretty dang well today! I hope all of you are hanging in there! I thank my Savior for that! |
