Lazy Bones

After being off my meds for the cancer scanning procedure for over a month, I find I am turning into true lazy bones. lol.  I look at the dishes piled up in the sink and just sorta sigh. I keep waiting for the dish faery to come and wave her wand, making the dishes squeaky fresh and sparkling clean, but it just ain’t happenin’ folks.

The laundry is also piling up and honestly, the carpet could use a decent shampoo. But my energy level is now zilch. I cannot wait for the dr. to give me the green light to go back on my meds and off this insane no salt/iodine diet. Ugh.  Have you or someone you love been recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer? Here's a useful link to have: http://www.thyca.org/

I hate having to ask anyone to drive me to the hospital for the next step in the testing, but I am so weak at this point, I can’t drive myself. Whew. And of course,  grizzly bear still lives here, so the situation is bizarre to say the least. I have to swallow my pride and ask the growly one if he’ll drive me. He said yes and didn’t bite.  I still have my hand intact, so I guess that’s a good sign. lol.

I really find that I miss going to the gym. How weird is that? A confirmed couch potato longing for low impact aerobics, aqua fitness class, and the rowing machine.

I figure I might as well enjoy the changes life is bringing me and go with the flow.  One of my old pals used to quote Bruce Lee, who would say, “Be water, my friend.”

Okay, I am ‘water’ and flowing over and around my obstacles, but I am getting very wet in the process.

Are you a lazy bones? Do you have days where you simply feel like the effort to get up and deal with life is beyond your capabilities—at least for that day? If so, then you understand what I mean.

Yet, if I go back to bed, hide under the covers, and allow chaos free reign, what would be the cost? I wonder about things like that. But I have to say, it’s much more enjoyable to wonder about it when I am snuggled in my comfy bed than sitting at a computer or attempting to clean my house. :P

Making Wish Bundles

I’m a big believer in sending wishes out into the universe to manifest what you want. Ask and receive, pretty much. So if it works, why don’t more people get their wishes to come true? I think that granting wishes is a complicated business. It involves certain things to come to pass in a certain order, plus involves other people who may not have our best interests at heart.

Wish Bundles

Here’s how to make a wish bundle of your very own:

1. Take a square piece of felt or cloth and lay it flat on a table.

2. Place a mustard seed in the center of the cloth.

3. Add a picture or pictures of what you want in the center with the mustard seed.

4. If what you want is an intangible thing, like happiness, use a picture of yourself when you were happy. If the wish is for more money, place a silver coin in the center of the cloth.

5. Gather the corners of the cloth together and tie with a string or cord, so that it makes a small bundle.

6. Dig a small hole in your backyard or in a potted container if you live in an apartment.

7. With heartfelt sincerity, say the following: I open my heart to the universe and ask my desires be fulfilled. Within the bundle, I place my wishes and ask the Goddess and God to bless and accept my offering. So be it and so it is.

Now bury the bundle in the hole and cover it with the remaining dirt. Allow several weeks for the universe to answer and watch and see the results. For some people it may take longer for the universe to rearrange your life in order to fulfill the request.

8. Document the changes in your life during this time and watch for any opportunities that come your way, because they may be the answers you seek!

Saving Up Memories

Snowed in, and with my back still giving me fits from trying to lift an empty storage tub two weeks ago, I decided to stay home for my birthday. So yesterday morning and afternoon were spent on the phone with my family. Then last night, “Bear” gave me a lovely card that brought tears to my eyes (which of course I tried to hold back and not show), and for dinner we shared my favorite pizza he’d brought home, Tony BoomBozz, and the DVD of The Time Traveler’s Wife. I’d been wanting to see that since I read Audrey’s book.

Everything was so cozy and mellow. Fireplace lit and crackling, delicious food, and us watching a movie. No cake and ice cream, but I imagine I damaged the diet plenty with pizza.  It was all good…I could almost fool myself and think things were the way they used to be.

But they aren’t. And I need to stop fooling myself. However, I can save up that memory and store it as a happy one. Sometimes that’s all we can do. Store up and save bits and pieces of the good memories. I know there will come a day I will look back at last night with fondness…and without a touch of sadness.

Seahorse Races - Giddy Up!

Last Sunday, I raced at the new Sea Horse Race Track in Tokara, at Trilla’s and wow, I had a blast! I even won one of the heats, but these were race trials to prepare for the Oceania Derby coming up in two weeks. Woot!




I’m the pink haired mermaid in the middle of the picture, linging up at the starting gate waiting for the buzzer. :) My little white seahorse Nibbler was ready and rarin’ to go. :grins:


The picture above is of the stands where spectators can view the race. I had just run in a heat and was visiting with some of the mers who watched the race. I am in the foreground, (the mermaid pretty in pink–lol).

They also held small riding snail races, and two of my friends posed for this picture. Those were some fast snails, I tells ya. :)
