Broken Siegfred (w/edit)

 Today I am thankful for HP. 

Not, Hewlett Packard....

My HP laptop is dying.  No, I've never had time to run to Microcenter to get a new one.  

When I say HP, I mean my higher power. 

I can't sleep. 

The dreams won't stop.  

I wound up going to the office at 2:00 a.m. to return some keys someone might use tomorrow. 

I have a class at 8:00 a.m. 

Some stupid woman has lost her marbles. 

Yep, I'm talking about myself. 


****

I awoke this morning with very bright light green eyes.  They've NEVER been that light before. 

Weird....they're kinda neon-ish. 

It's almost as if I exposed myself to a bunch of radiation. 

No, that's not possible. 

Sadly, I'm not a superhero. 

Those comics lied to us nerds - lol! 

I feel broken. 

I'm operating on about 4 hours of sleep over the past 72 hours. 

Something is off besides my mind.. 

On the long drive to the office, I prayed. 

What in the world am I supposed to do about the dreams? 

Seriously, there has to be a flippin' reason why this is happening.  

This is getting stupid. 

Maybe there's something that I can do to make 'em stop. 

It's like I'm mourning the loss of my sleep and stuck in the bargaining stage. 

This song kicks on: 





Not sure what it means. 

I'm still a little shocked that this guy has still got me on my knees** after all of these decades. 

Hate to say it - this isn't as much fun. 

If I can't fall asleep this morning, I'll probably be pondering the music. 

If there's an answer, I'll share it. 

Love ya, 

S. 

**For the pervs - um.....I meant on my knees as in prayer.  

Next Day Edit: 

So, in the wee hours of the morning, I had this thought about letting go without expectation. 

This is what the prayers are for.  

Letting go - giving any worry up to the Divine without knowing any outcome. 

Even though I had three hours of sleep this morning, 

and am hyped up on caffeine, 

Something beautiful and strange happened today. 

I had a charity call me up asking for the football cards my ex left in the garage. 

They found a buyer.  They came to pick everything up (which explains the dream of the political activist in my house.  Yes, it is a member of the Libertarian party that created a 501(c)3 geared towards helping the homeless.  It wasn't creepy at all.

The plan is to use the funds to rent and clean port-a-potties for the homeless. 

This charity often pays for things like vehicle titles and insurance for people living in their cars.  They have also helped people get dental and medical care. 

Since my ex claimed to be homeless to get out of child support, I figured that this is the perfect way to gift them.  I asked the person to pray for the ex that owned the card collection.  

I have another charity interested in my kiddos' old Wii gaming system.  Apparently they are in huge demand and hard to find. 

Let's see if I can pry it out of their hands for the charity. 

The lesson is possibly in just letting everything go.  Letting go of worries, guilt, shame and so on. 

Love it! 

How do I get rid of nightmares outside of forgetting to sleep? 

Still trying to figure that one out.  

I could do without the nightmares - but letting go of random crap that I'll never use is a good thing. 

Then again, I realize that wanting the nightmares to stop is still a form of an expectation. 

Perhaps, that desire for the dreams to go away is the expectation I should let go of. 

Hugs, 

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....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Welcome to the Club, Zuckerberg (also a warning)

Today I am thankful for realizing that I am not alone.   There is a frustrating feeling that one gets when trying to educate lawmakers about the reality of the world in which we live. I saw this feeling expressed by Mark Zuckerberg during that charade of a Congressional hearing he took part in this week. Zuckerberg looks a mixture of angry and frustrated.  I know that face.  That's the face where I am stifling laughter so hard that it looks like I'm going to cry. That's my political face.  My background is in social science and psychology.  Imagine how irritating it is trying to explain that city policy is based on the concept of a traditional nuclear family (mom, dad, kids - people tied together by blood or legal policy).  As such, there are laws on the books that break up other types of families (more complex family systems of economic cooperation).  Trying to explain that there are  people who share economic resources without bloo...
