Mix It Up

Since I haven't written in a while for whatever reason, I decided to try and recap the last few weeks - so bear with me on this one.

Lets see...........first - I AM SOOO SICK OF THE COLD WEATHER.....that - quite frankly - it makes me sick! I have battled cold like symptoms, flu like symptoms, etc., My eyes have been so over worked lately that they burn to just open them. Add to all of this, that I am one of the clumsiest people I know. Wednesday night the electricity went out about 6 p.m. and I laid across the bed to read while there was still light shining in my windows. I fell asleep and woke about 10, at which point I grabbed a candle and went over to the Dance Hall where I knew the "straight" construction workers were hanging out. As I got to the first step to the porch, I tripped and went flying almost smacking my head on the door. I scraped the hell out of my knee and spilled ice tea all over myself. After spending an hour there, I decided to make my way back over to the house and once I entered my room, I proceeded to drop the candle holder I had in my hand. It busted in a million pieces all over the floor. So in the dark, holding a flashlight in my mouth (yeah I still got it going on!), I proceeded to lock Roxy in her cage before she ran out in it. Then I had to clean up her paper, sweep the entire floor (glass travels to the most bizarre places), clean the dog bowls, pick Roxy up in my arms, take her blankets outside and shake them, take her tray in her cage out and clean it. I did all of this over the course of an hour, with a flashlight in my mouth and Rox under one arm. (Don't ever say I cannot multi-task) Then Friday night, I was getting ready to take a shower and barefooted, ran my foot full stride into the brick hearth the is beneath the wood burning stove in the living room. Needless to say, I saw stars and words I didn't even know I knew came streaming out of my mouth. I limped, staggered, crawled, my way to the bathroom to take a look and noticed the edge of the brick sliced my little toe right below the nail (so much for my career as a foot model). My toes still move, but, the little one is now dark black! On the plus side, I found this body soap, that after 3 days of use, makes my skin feel like a baby's. (Not that anyone else feels it but me, but damn it feels so nice!)

I have also been reading alot! In the last month I have read a Vampire Trilogy, The Gay/Lesbian Almanac (Did you know that homosexuals were revered in the native American tribes?), and "25 years of gay struggle". I am currently on Book 10 of the "Left behind" series which is a fictionalized account of what it would be like, in today's day and age, if God raptured his church. Yes, I love to learn and read about everything under the sun! I will give more detailed accounts of these books in later posts. Yesterday, my Nook stopped working, but not to be deterred, I downloaded my most recent book onto my IPOD touch. Who knew that a 300 page book when downsized to my phone would be 5,433 pages?

Since I have to be up in 4 hours...................................more news later!
