The Slightly Disenfranchised Ravings

of a Crazed, Although Not Violent, Wolf

It feels like years since Ive done an entry. Really, its just over 2 weeks, but in wolf time, I guess that could come out to years, right?

Everything has been going on and nothing has been going on. (I did mention that I was slightly crazed, right?) This entry promises to have all the continuity of a trip through one of those canal systems in England. Start, stop, fill, empty, open the gate, close the gate, water in, water out retrieve articles lost overboard during the process.

I had a wonderfully enjoyable dinner with Diarists Asha, Winifred Froglette, & Toadster. Im sure they made reference to it. Asha has a mah-velous, open and airy home, inhabited by the friendliest love sponge of a dog Ive ever seen. (Note to Blossom, the evil Shar-pei: SOME animals are actually nice to invited guests) The Indian mean was yummy (no carbs, no wheat, no calories amazing, no?) and the company was THE BEST! Its so much fun to meet up with folks from the OD and find out that they are just as much fun in person as they are on the puter!

I bought a beautiful crystal its cut in a very precise manner having to do with energy. I love it. Its a Vogel crystal (after the guy who invented this particular scheme for cutting the crystal). Now I have lots of dreams at night. Maybe Ill even remember one of them long enough to tell someone.

The wonderful woman who was going to teach more Tarot classes quit working at my fave store. AK! No more classes! I was looking forward to that!

Young Stud has finally decided the time is right to go back to college! Yippee! Slow start 2 classes. Good for him! His dad (the biological sperm donor) is legally and contractually obligated to finance his education. Can you guess whats coming next? Of course you can. He reneged, then compromised with partial $$, and I contributed. Gee whiz, jerk! Its only TWO classes at a junior college! Less that $400!! I guess with the payments for the NEW house and the NEW car and the NEW Harley and the NEW vacationdoesnt leave much left over for your sons education. I think YSs dads picture is in the New Phrase Dictionary right next to the phrase ITS ALL ABOUT ME. I could be wrong, but I wouldnt bet on it.

Went to visit with my friends whose mom has Alzheimers. She is a lovely woman, just rather confused. Kind of the way Im feeling I can relate! Very sweet disposition. (All right so thats not so much like me) I took her flowers and sweets just in case. Heaven knows my reputation as a rat is going to suffer from that!

Chickie is back in school. Yahoo! Fewer hours per day making a mess in the apartment = lower frustration level on moms part.

Young Stud was home over the weekend. We went to see the Braves courtesy of free tickets from work. Good seats, bad game. I thought these guys were supposed to be good! Ewwww!! Enjoyed YSs company. Enjoyed being at the ball game. Enjoyed YSs fruitless attempts to get a wave started. Dont try to cheer up Braves fans when their team is getting tromped!! For the benefit of the Braves, I will stay away from all future games, just in case my bad sports karma is rubbing off on them.

I really have nothing to say thats worth saying. Maybe thats why Ive stayed away. All this stuff going on in my head and none of it worth tapping out on the keyboard. Like, really who cares?!?!! Im not even sure I care.

Did a bit of cleaning this weekend while I had YS to help. Finally disposed of the baby crib. After all, Chickie is 13, Ill never have another baby, and the poor old crib (it was my sisters first then me then my kids) is no longer safe. The things we get attached to! It would be much more efficient space wise if I would learn to treasure small mementos.

I have been reading a lot. Uh-oh. Sign of withdrawal. I have been a terrible correspondent, both on the OD and in personal e-mails. Sign of withdrawal #2. My sis is off having life changing experiences and Im jealous. She did a lot of ground work setting up those experiences.guess that means Id have to do the same to have equivalent experiences..what the heck I look good in various shades of green envy.

So much for my insanity (or is that inanity?). Now Im off to catch up with all of you. Have patience with me Im S L O W (and slightly crazed, as I mentioned at the beginning & has been illustrated here, I do believe)

Just take all the time you need to get back to normality, hon. We all know how it is sometimes. We are still here and we don’t change so use us as a starting point back to reality LOL Hugz

I hope your time out has brought you back razor keen. Looking forward to new stories…. Green is a good colour. 🙂

The canal system in England, yes, very frustrating and hard work. Fortunately it’s never so warm as you have in the warm South. If it were so, the work load on the canals would be unacceptable.

haha lol! Its good to have ya back sunshine wolf!

You and I must be on the same wavelength. I went off for about 6 weeks, so there’s not gonna be much to catch up on in my diary, and I’m all caught up on yours now! I’m glad you checked in. I missed you! XOXO

You make life interesting, crazed or not; Glad you’re back. 🙂 Love + Hugs,

Well, I’m sure happy to see you! You may think you have nothing to say, but I’m highly amused, as usual. Glad to hear all is well for the most part. BUT…no more Tarot classes?? Dammit! Must find others. ~:)

Glad you are back.

Do what you must to stay as sane as possible under the circumstances. With a warm smile…Torin the Unsigned

Welcome back and hugs to you

Hooray! You’re back! Nice to see you again… wow, sounds like a unique crystal, hadn’t heard of those.

I have missed you and been wondering about you! As per your note: angst is a necessary part of the process…ride it like a wave…don’t push on it too hard …makes it worse!

First off,there is never anything inane about your entries. We all need to let off steam sometimes, Sunshine. Thank you for the note you left. I agree 100%. It’s OK to take time koff when you need.

Dreams are significant in their own way. They provide clues to the static. Young Stud’s biological dad sounds like one of those dads you see on Judge Judy’s show. Flowers and sweets to you!

For someone who has not much to say, you kept my interest. lotsa love.

Glad you got the ball rolling!

It’s about time you made it back sweetie. Hey, take the bio-doner to small claims court for the money, attach his wages, repossess his Harley. 🙂 Much love,

Hey Sunshine – we are mightly glad you’re still here…join the “Crazed” club….or we’ll join yours. Whatever. **skipping along like nothing happens**

HI wolfie nut. Appathetic george was recently spotted in my doctor’s office! The result, i have appendicitis, but not a cute appendicitis. Now, how does he know it’s not cute, he only shoved his finger… Okay enough!

make sure there’s no chocolate in the house when you feel like this ! my X pulled the same @#$% , continues to this day 🙁

You were just about to get another email from me asking if you were still on the planet. Yea, like I should talk, huh? Good to see you here.

Crystals are interesting things. I think I used to have one, but I don’t remember what I did with it…

I like hearing about your life! I don’t have anything else profound to say, this dizziness seems to be keeping me on a very superficial level, but just wanted to say I’m glad you’re back on. I missed you!

glad to see you are writing again

Hey SW – I love crazy women – it makes me feel normal (grin) I like yr style of rambling SW – so even when nothing is happening you make it fun to read about. And I’m sure the Braves apprec yr sacrifice. (smile)

Welcome Back Sunshine! :O) Sorry about the donor, but glad your son is pursing school! Be Well!

ahh life life life..i’ve been doing the same drift..it happens it dont..it stops.. it overflows..and we’re just along for the ride..)..missin ya , chick!!

If it’s good for your soul, SW, I say rave all you want. Regarding all the nice gifts the BSD is bestowing upon himself, I say BFD. If we don’t make the grade as parents, nothing else matters.

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onasis was responsible for that paraphrased quote.

aah, British canals… gotta love ’em. Slow pace and all. Used to go on them a lot when we were kids, the last when I was 13, I was the item dangling in the water as we went into the lock…. hmm..

as you can imagine, slightly panicked parents was the call for that day!!!!

i always enjoy reading what you have here, no matter what it is. you have so much life if you, and that’s always comes across. 🙂 thanks for the hugs, they’re needed.

so much life IN you. 🙂 too bad you can’t edit notes . . .
