G. For Grace.

Can I just tell you that but for the grace of my family & friends…I got a reprieve on my computer payments until the Spring. This means, that a good chunk of my $ woes will be partially alleviated until the wedding season starts back up. Thankful…that word just doesn’t cover it.

I’m feeling human. Coughing gophers out of my lungs which makes me gag. Drinking lots of tea, slathering myself in Vicks every night. Gonna hit the walgreens for some OTC meds today as the stuff I’ve got doesn’t seem to be working. But I’m on the mend and that in itself is a blessing! I don’t have anything really scheduled this weekend…was going to take my Pseudo Sis1 to happy hour friday but if I’m still feeling this croupy, we may push that to next week. I have auditions on Sunday and a play committee meeting as well, so that’s it for that. It’s a good day. May try for some breakfast facetime that morning with friends…all in all methinks I’m staying in friday night and saturday night. and the mere thought of that makes me giddy with anticipation!

So. here’s a question for ya. I’m actually debating as to whether or not to decorate for Christmas. Tree. Lights. House. all of it. It’s a small house. and I have a shit ton of stuff. and it DOES look gorgeous when I decorate…but it’s a lot of work to do by myself. I have to figure out how to rearrange my living room. It used to be fun to do this with my mom and sister, but this year, I’m thinking seriously about just hanging the wreath on the door and calling it a season. I do host a few parties this month, but even these are going to be way low key compared to last years. I just don’t have the funds to supply it all again. and yes, it would be nice if it was festive for my guests…gah. Thoughts? anyone wanna come over and help me decorate? we can listen to David Sedaris and laugh till we cry…

Okaaaaaaaay. I have to get my arse in the shower. I actually have a decent book today! two of my clients that I haven’t seen in 8 or more weeks have returned to me today! hopefully it’s just $ woes for everybody and they still love me! (are you sick of listening to me woe about $ yet? Lord knows I am.) I have a pot of vegetable stew in the crock pot for when I get home tonight. The cats are warm and the house is mine for another month. All in all, kids…life is pretty good. We just have to leap, yes?

I get these Notes From The Universe in my email daily…this one was yesterdays. I will leave you with it:

Usually, Zelda, the wiser you are, the easier life gets.

But then, the happier you are, the less you need easy, the faster you can run, and the higher you can jump.

Go for happy,
The Universe

home sick today. started feeling horrible on Sunday at MGirl’s birthday party…which sucked because it meant I had to get home and didn’t rock out the night with everyone else. Yesterday was spent on the couch. Tv. Naps. Sleep. Liquids. This morning…fever and chills still. I think the fever broke, so tomorrow looks promising. I have the sniffing and the snot and the sore throat and the bleargh…but no fever so that means not contagious anymore. I just don’t want to spread germs. OR get worse off myself.

I’ve picked up around here a bit. Done a titch of laundry. Deposited my paycheck and napped. Made a turkey pot pie with my leftover bird. The bottom is about to drop out of our weather here, so gonna put the car in the garage and tuck in for the night.

bleargh.

that’s all folks.
