For the second time this year an unusually strong jet stream got pushed south enough that there will be plenty of cool air filtering in for, if just a few days, an event that is a wonderful treat in mid-July in TN. I'm off tomorrow and will hopefully sleep late but ya'll know how I do. I got the go ahead for surgery so I called the doc's office to schedule only to get a robo-nurse telling me to have a blessed and prosperous day. Lord, if she only knew how blessed I can be sometimes! Like Sue said "little black cloud." She called me snake bit after visiting a casino years ago. We sat at the bar drinking with Frenchie the bartender and watching UofM roundball on multiple TVs. The oddest thing I saw was Asian tourists (like a shitload of 'em) coming to see the glittery dream that is legalized gambling. I'm sure they also stop by Graceland on the way back to the airport.
I'm doing a little scream therapy since there's no baby here to scare the hell out of, but usually he just joins in too. The bottom literally fell out of the sky when I left work and followed me all the way home. Thank the lort' that I have fairly new tires because the infrastructure is crumbling, so to speak. Where I live is approximately 20 miles from Lake county where Reelfoot Lake was formed from an earthquake in 1812. Yep..native American style catastrophe! According to legend the Mississippi flowed backwards or some such. That river is big and wild enough to do any damn thing it wants to except fight off the polluters. Perhaps that's the cause of all our recent flooding. I'd have to say we haven't been very good stewards of Big Ernie's gifts.
I've seen parts of this 1300 acre parcel underwater for months at a time and many days when I watched muddy backwater carefully as I drove through it to get to wherever I had to be. Or mama or daddy...or somebody. Most of my life has been spent taking care of others in some form or fashion and now it's my turn. Self care is my new buzz word, if you know what I mean. Peace and love and rock'n'roll.
And keep the faith ^j^
