The Law of Attraction



The video exemplifies the current stage of my life.

I get something....

which gets bigger and bigger and bigger

until

I am completely and utterly exhausted.

I can't complain.

My house is in shambles - but, I now have a working furnace, air conditioner (never had one before), a working fridge and a working dishwasher.

This is awesome.

But, on the flip side, I also have 50 boxes to unpack.

****
I have my dream job (without the dream pay)

but, on the flip side,

I don't have as much time as I need to see hypnosis clients.

*****
A neighborhood stray adopted us.

We, in turn, adopted a stray dog that the cat is worried about.

He's a miniature poodle mix who had a urinary hernia so he's been with us three days, on the couch, recuperating from his surgery.

I'm shocked the dog and cat seem to be getting along.

*****

I would have named the dog "Tom" as in the names that turn up in the candle wax (see previous post) -but- the dog answers to "Houston" and "Henry."

We are now going through lists of male names to see if we can figure out who he was.

He doesn't respond to Spanish or French.  We are looking at English names.

We found him at an adoption event at a senior housing project. He was brought by a shelter.

The shelter was a kill shelter (one I'd like to shut down) and he looks horribly rough.  I paid the $150 fee and brought the doggo home.

They found him on May 29th, matted and filthy.  His owner didn't have a lot of time to find him.

It's very sad.  The dog needed surgery.  He's going to need some dental work, too.

I found a great vet who offered to see him Monday at no charge.  Doggo is still shivering and I'm sure the Ketamine has wore off by now.

Ketamine - uh....

I work with people who take the stuff because it doesn't show up on employment drug screens.

I've never been near an animal recovering from ketamine.

It's still sad to see them shiver.

*****


Blessings abound -

Why am I so darn tired?

I'd tell people all about it

but, I lost my phone -

somewhere

in Littleton, I think.

I'm deciding if I should trek through the foothills to find it

or just find a new cell phone carrier.

I spend so much time in parts of the state which have poor cell phone reception, I may as well not have a cell phone any longer.

Life is getting better.

When that happens, we just need better coping skills.

*****
The key with dealing with good stress,

is self-care.

So....I guess....

I'll take a long bath,

stop eating Doritos (which is pretty much all I had in the kitchen while waiting for a fridge),

and get my nails done.

The dog and the cat are in on the action, too....

we've been watching relaxing bird videos on YouTube.

Fun times.....

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Recognizing Psychological Abuse

Today I am thankful that I recognize relationship abuse.   I'm still sad. I thought Steve would be different.  For all the talk about anarchy and freedom, it simply didn't exist in our relationship.  I blamed the fact that I couldn't get my ex-husband to move on.  I blamed myself. It doesn't matter.  It is weird having my ex-husband explain to me how he took control of our relationship years ago.  Yes, he says that he knows what he did.  Yes, he said most men know the games they play.  Yes, most men do it for control. That is validating.  It's painful.  It's validating.  I know what my problems are.  I always do my best to see the best in other people.  I know that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes.  My issue?  Well, I am too forgiving and I feel badly when I break up with someone for hurting me.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I couldn't.  I'm st...

Covid (Edited)

Today I am thankful for unorganized conspiracies: It makes it easier to identify them. Politicians are going to label anyone calling bullshit on the Covid lockdowns a Conspiracy Theorist.   I have a saying; " Conspiracies happen all the time; it's only a theory until it's proven."  This one is easy to prove.  It's obvious that the powers that be threw a lot of shit at a wall to see what would stick.  They're trying to inundate us with useless information and financial pressure to wear us down. That doesn't work on the indominable American spirit. ***** Let's work backwards. The CDC is now lumping flu, pneumonia and Covid19 deaths in one number.  Get this....the numbers have been declining for the past 11 weeks! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html We are now below pandemic levels. Tell me why Governor Polis and his merry band of naked Democrat Emperors are pushing masks and pushing more lo...
