"Come morning light..."

Dunno if it will last, but there's been a mini blogging revival chain reaction. Danka Ah tee eM. So far, it's just one other friend besides myself, but Dad said he'd been thinking about it. I think he said he was just worried I wouldn't like what's been on his mind of late. I suggested editing privacy settings and just writing for himself.

This morning, I thought it would be fun to sing my foot down on the metal frame of my bed while changing. >.< I didn't think much of it at the time. Not the first time I've proven klutzy. Heck it wasn't even the first time this morning....ran into the cat and Pixie is built like a brick! So yeah, I went to bed without icing it or anything. >.< Woke up in the afternoon and now I'm really wishing I'd iced it sooner. Toes are sore and I'm limping a leettle or at least walking a little slower. I'm icing as best I can now... darn ice pack keeps thawing too quickly in this heat.

I've been playing a song on repeat on and off since yesterday morning. It's a sad song, or makes me think of the sadder bits in the books (song's from the Hunger Games soundtrack). But it's still a pretty song. I should stop though, cuz the constant replaying of the video on YouTube makes my computer run slower. :-P

I keep thinking about the games we used to play with GI Joes and miscellaneous action figures. Part of me wishes I could still go back and play them again. I should write the stories of those characters we made or at least stories based on them (cuz some of them got weird). I wish I could just sit down and write. Focus enough to write. Be able to hold back criticism until I've actually got more than a couple pages. That's kind of why I liked role playing. I din't have to write as much, but even that I can't seem to focus on very long. I am reading a little more, which is good cuz that used to inspire the RP writing anyway. Anywho... I'm babbling. I'm good at that. Dunno if I could ever write stories to publish...my babbling wouldn't make for good books. :-P

Trying This Again...

Not that I follow tons of blogs or anything, bu I think it's kinda weird the bloggers I do follow all kinda gave up on it (me included) all around the same time. Maybe it was just the migration over to Facebook... same thing happened on Myspace, all of a sudden all my friends were here instead of there. Anywho.... It's not like I was ever very consistent with the blogging, but I guess I stopped cuz not a whole lot was happening and when I did think of stuff I wanted to blog about I was usually no where near the computer and would forget when I was. But I reckon I'll give it a whirl again. No promises though! :-P

Had another Josh dream. It's so weird. We were back at the Anaheim apartment, which oddly seems to be my default home in my dreams. Dad was giving me a ride home and we came in to see Josh running around getting ready for work after having overslept. It's funny. He's always happy or content or just okay...not grumpy or complaining like he normally was. I mean he wasn't happy about oversleeping and knowing he'd be late to work via bussing, but he wasn't grumbling about having to go to work. Other times I've seen him in dreams showing off photos of himself and friends....He HATED being in photos. I always dream him happy and doing stuff he might not have liked when he was alive. I think it feeds into my belief that he's okay wherever he is. Or maybe that's where the belief started. Either way I wish my parents could have these dreams.

From the moment we moved here, cats just started showing up at our door. As if there was a sign planted in our yard advertising the fact that we feed strays. Seriously. The first two showed up the first day we moved in! Can't even blame our babies for calling to them through the door cuz they were still at the old apartment or in their carrier at the time! But since coming here, we've only fed 2-3 at any given time. One's been taken to the shelter after bleeding all over a neighbor's backyard. Two were sickly when we last saw them and we imagine they've passed. One we almost adopted til we found he was sick so he was taken to the shelter. :-( Now, we're feeding 6-7 cats. One we've been feeding for ages. One barely trusted us and only visited once in a while until she got pregnant.  Now she and her babies are regulars. And the cart I think might be the father (as the family doesn't run from him) shows up once in a blue moon to steal from their plates. Kids have been watching the kittens. Hopefully one of them will take a kitten or two home. We would but the cost of normal vet check up and later spay/neutering and possible de-worming AND tests for diseases, would be too much and then if the tests were positive like with Licorice. Le sigh. Yeah, don't want that downer again. Besides, Mom still wants to spend a fortune on dental cleaning for both our babies. :-P

Anywho... Back to killing time with FB games or Sudoku.
