I am not lying here. I really don’t feel so good.

i have a cold. Not the flu, thank God, just a cold. That is bad enough, though. My head is stuffy, I cough, I sniffle. YUK, ECHK me sad

Do I sound like I’m pouting? I should sound like that because I am. Right now, my typing….stinks. I have to keep backing up and correcting my typos, too. Things take longer that way. I am also having trouble thinking. I am taking something to make the symptoms easier. Anti-biotics will not help because the cold comes from a virus, and anti-biotics do not work on viruses.

So, I moan, whimper….and life goes on. How pitiful do I sound now (snicker in my head).:)

Yes, I did write ARG ! Have you ever had a dream about something, and when you wake up, want to write it down? However, when you get pen and paper together, you can’t remember what it was? It is enough to make a grown woman growl. Of course, when that happens, my husband looks at me as if I’d lost my mind.

Maybe I have, sort of. After all I lost that dream, where I put my glasses, what I went in to the bed room for, or any number of other things. When did my memory start to go, or get so many holes in it? I think I’ve not completely lost my mind, have I?

Can’t remember. At least I know that my brain is still somewhere inside my skull. After all I am able to hold intelligent conversation. Don’t know if anyone else would agree with me, but there it is.

I do know some of the answers on the TV program Jeopardy. HA ! That’s proof, ain’t it? I haven’t lost everything, yet.

have you ever noticed how people make a lot of strange noisec?

One major noise can be a warning of bad things to come - I’m talking about farts here! I hate the silent fart in an enclosed space, because you have no warning. The person who did it knows. At least the noisy fart gives you a warning of bad things to avoide. You know where the smell could be lingering and can avoid it.

I have heard of people who spontaneously explode into flames. I always figured they were people who tried to avoid farting. After all the gas that people make is methane, it is very flamable and explosive. Some people when burping, actually most people, will try to be silent. Some will hiss, almost as if they don’t like what they ate. Some will just burp and get it over with. Then there are those that make so much noise that you might think they need a bib.

Yes, what I’m talking about here is uncouth, it happens. I have never met a single person who hasn’t had trouble with gas of one sort or another in their lives. I have even met people who have rumbling inside of them that can be heard across the room.

Why does society have hang-ups about biological functions? I mean, everybody does it, don’t they?

Do you want to go crazy? I have found a game that will definitely do that. When I was a little girl (yes, that description fit me at one time), there was a puzzle that you could hold in your hand and slide the different numbers around and try to get them in order. I used to spend hours doing that. It was a sort of Rubics cube that was flat.

It is simply called sliding block puzzle. I have been able to solve one version of the puzzle, but the other two drive me nuts. The one with a lot of blue blocks is not the one that does the crazy bits. If you like to go crazy once in a while, have fun.

Here I go again. I am apparently hooked on games on the computer. This one called “Splash Back”, is amazingly good fun, if you like to make messes, play in the water and other things.

Making a mess, and not having to clean it up can be very therapeutic for your nerves, and it also helps me to think. Lately there has been a lot going on and this has given me a chance to relax and unwind. Sometimes, I find myself playing for hours not even noticing how the time has passed. What is that old saying?….TRY IT YOU’LL LIKE IT.

P.S. Don’t play it until after you go to the bathroom. :}

As I sit here and type, I wish that I had the good light that is over where my brother is. The lighting fixtures in this apartment are very old fashioned. We have had to remove the glass globes that cover the light bulbs so that we are able to reach the fixture to change the bulbs.

One fixture in the living room is so long that the globe would not fit over the type bulb that we have in it. The dining room where the computer is, well, it isn’t very bright. Not that at this time of night I’m very bright myself, I could use a little help when it is this late. It is after ten pm after all.

I enjoy the idea of a fan with the ceiling light in the living room, but it shakes so much that I hate to use the fan. If I had the money, I would change out the fixture myself. That’s life. Some things are good, some not so. At least we have a place to live, food to eat, and electricity for the lights that we do have. It is getting late and we have had a busy week, so I guess that I’ll sign off for now and probably dream about light bulbs, too.

Here i am again with the games to drive me crazy. I had blogged earlier about a game that had a grid of letters that needed to be eliminated, well, it has been changed. So, I looked through the site that i had gotten it from and found another one that drives me coo-coo just like the coo-coo clock bird.

This one has blocks in a framework, and you are supposed to get the red block out. Round and round they go and where they stop is only when you get the red block out. If you like thinking games, this one will make you think.

Just read something that I thought was unusual and hilarious.

It involves 11 dozen eggs. I wish that I knew a lot of recipes for eggs other than cakes and stuff. If it was Easter, there would be no problem knowing what to do.

How many egg recipes are there anyway? This writer seems to know how to laugh at life. These days - that is important. When I read what happened, I couldn’t help myself, but guffaw, and then snicker. Of course I’ve never done anything like that….Ahem. Well, not with eggs. I have had many a disaster. So far, I have survived.

I need a vacation. You know, one of those vacations that you can have in one of those vegas hotels, one of those that have all of the trimmings, spa, turn down service, catered meals.

This past week has been rough. We have had to do spring cleaning, go to the doctor, help a family member furnish a new apartment, have a family member visit from Arkansas. I am pooped. Even as I write this my eyes are bleary and feel heavy. It could be worse. We do have a nice bed that is waiting for me right now. One of our cats has protested all of the upset by hiding all day long. She was out in the morning, then hidden. Any way, the floors are clean, other things are clean and re-arranged. I still need a vacation though. Wish I had the means and the transportation. Yawn. That bed does look good.

Raccoons can be very nosy critters. They can also be very amusing. We used to live in a place where the raccoons would come in and visit us in the house. The house was old and had a number of holes in the floor. The raccoons would come in and help themselves to the dog food that we would put in an old frying pan.

When a bunch of them would gather around it there would be so much snorting and grunting, I thought that they sounded remarkably like a pack of pigs at the feeding trough. One day my husband and I watched one raccoon washing its feet in an old butter tub that we used for water for them. It sat on the side and scrubbed its feet down in the tub. When it got done it made the mistake of sitting up. The next thing that we knew, the tub flipped over and dumped all of the water all over the coon. It grumbled, griped and snorted while my husband and I laughed ourselves silly at its antics.
