I am hanging in there..
I really need to get a good shower and wash my hair this weekend. I feel icko and i know that makes me irritable as well. Also i need a phone card from the tobacco shop (not smokes! haven't smoked anything at all since last june

) so i intend to get out today, before or after shower i don't care. maybe before.
Poirot is on at 3 and lasts 2 hours. He is usually fun.
Then at 5 Monk is on and you *know* i can't miss that madman!
So, emm. well if i jump in the shower now, i could possibly be all set and let my hair dry while i do that 3 hour tv marathon...
then go out nice and clean for the phone card.
that leaves tomorrow to change the bedding, swiff the living room, clear up some mess, do some filing, dust the remaining knicknacks (i started last week), and lounge around the lounge coz i gotta get back into the habit of folding my bed up. That is a problem because i dont have any place to stash the big bulky quilted bedcover i need to keep me warm. it's too bulky to fold in. we shall see.
and tomorrow night... HOUSE!!! New Episodes! (to me, anyway).
gosh i am overwhelmed just thinking of this. ok now i'm down to a half hour to shower - not quite enough. hmmmmm. what to do............
oh gosh, and i still haven't written that dialogue for therapy. actually i tried and went blank. usually it is a thing that dances around in my head. so i decide to write about it and it hides? oh bother!

glad you are feeling better and... what a sweetheart of a son you have. no surprise he got invited to that dance

... wonder where he got that sweetheartedness from, hmm?

wow a month went fast... seems just yesterday you met with your women's group. i recall the last meeting was very deep for you. i hope this one goes as well, and that you find healing and friendship in this spiritual journey.
Mardi gras or Fat Tuesday is called that coz it's the last day of indulging before Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a period during which Catholics traditionally give up something a luxury of some sort ... make some sort of sacrifice in their daily lives. I fortet if there are also dietary restrictions. I don't know what the predominant religion out by you, Beth, but that's where it all comes from. Here the traditional parades are getting started all over the place, they are in the news, lol. Every town has its little twist on things.
Enjoy. I remember going to a Mardi Gras parade once as a little girl, all dressed up as in a multilayered taffeta and lace gown, and wearing make up, a fake beauty spot made with eyeliner, and face powder so i looked like a doll, lol. not sure what i was supposed to be any more. but it was fun.
think i best go for the phone card first. time is running out. will have to remain dingy till after Monk.
