Sunday Snuggles
|
Sunday Snuggles I have gotten much accomplished in the last week despite being extraordinarily lazy at times. For example last night I completely undecorated the Christmas tree, packed all the assorted home décor for the holidays and put it all neatly away in the closet. Those boxes and Lil Bit’s rooms are ready to go to Italy. We are stalled until certain agencies finish processing paperwork. I’m getting antsy because I could be getting lots of things done. We have somewhere between 75-90 days left and I am way past being ready for this to be over. This is going to be another very busy month with special order crate ordering, building and beginning crate training. Vehicle shipping, visas, parrot crate customization and arranging early shipping of non-essential household goods all will be getting done in the next month or so. Throw in Lil Bit’s 10th birthday, Girls Club cookie sales starting, handling a house/ex issue for the Viking and things start to get interesting. The only good thing is all this should keep me busy which means time will move instead of crawl for me. We’re on the short slide home now we can do this with our eyes closed. I also went out to check on the horses yesterday & retrieved the found pocketbook plus. The good news is that Roan’s feet seem fine. I’m just really happy to see her feeling better and not in pain. She is running and leaping around without having had any aspirin for over a week. Both horses had obviously been rolling in the grass and were happy to see me. They seem very happy on the back 40 acres. The drive back across the creek gives me an excuse to put the truck in 4x4 low. We’ve got to work out the situation with the back gate too since that is the only way the farrier is going to be able to get to them when they need trimming. As the move looms I’m anxious about leaving them for 2 years but I know they will mostly likely be fine. They couldn’t be on any better land and pasture. With the miraculous return of my original camera came the 1st Christmas tree lingerie photo shoot, Lil Bits church Christmas play as well as some really cool full moon shots. Now that the tree is down I’m ready to get my easel and art<b> supplies </font></b>back out and in use. The 13 full moons this year have me yearning for half naked women in the moonlight, hot rods, fairies, hoof prints and tattoos in shades of royal purples and emerald greens. I want to get the shadow box made for our feather collection from our Ireland School of Falconry adventure and the latest posters and artwork framed. I want the antique bar top tiled and beautiful again. It is long past time to close this chapter and start a new one. Today was a total lazy day. 5 years ago my Mam-maw passed away after a long battle with cancer. She had a way of being a best friend to several of us in the family without anyone ever feeling less important. She had favorites but you could never be sure who they were. My whole family kind of reminisced about her today so I was already sad, after chatting with my Viking today I decided I wasn’t going to get out of my PJ’s today. I was going to eat, play games, read, watch movies and just be lazy. I did clean up from the Christmas tree removal, run the dishwasher and clean the kitchen counters. I also went to visit my favorite Aunt and Uncle for ribs and Brunswick stew. Yes, I went in my PJ’s and fuzzy purple Eyore robe. After assuring me that no one was there other than family a long-time family friend showed up. He’s know me since I was a little girl and thought it was perfectly normal for me to be hanging out in my PJ’s outside around the fire with my Uncle G. No I’m not one of those people that will go to Wally World shopping like that but in my little po-dunk home town if I’m not going in I will go through the drive through and visit my family that way…lol… I need to go take an Ambien while I am free and try to reset my sleep schedule. I have a lot to do tomorrow. My half-brother from my dad’s side is supposed to come visit NYE. He and his GF are in Atlanta at a concert tonight and sight-seeing tomorrow. The Viking and I are going to see Fleetwood Mac and spend a long weekend in Stephen’s hometown in April. I actually have our Fleetwood Mac tickets in hand. Yep I did a very naughty happy dance when I saw those tickets! They came in the mail last week. Our hotel is booked and I’m super excited about that little mini-vacation a few weeks after he gets home to celebrate our 1st anniversary. I have to make sure Lil Bits bed is changed and her bathroom is presentable. I haven’t seen him since he came to visit my dad when we lived with my Grandma in NY. He was only 16-18. He just turned 33-34. It should be an interesting visit. The day after my lil bro & ho leave I get to drive over an hour to handle the unpleasantness with the ex and house. On the 3rd I get to drive back to PCB, Fl with my sister and older niece in tow to spend 2 days with all of us crammed into my mom tiny apartment. I have about decided that Lil Bit and I will have to get a hotel for one of those nights. I don’t think my nerves will handle them all in less than a 1000 sq. ft. especially after whatever drama goes on the day before. To be honest, in a twisted way I’m looking forward to it. That thrill of righteous anger is a great outlet for all of my frustrations. I am not above gloating over people who choose to remain ignorant and dysfunctional. I will not get on that soap box. I will not get on that soap box. Inhale, exhale, good let’s move on, shall we? My dad dropped by unannounced one day while I was on the phone with the Viking. It was a day or 2 before Christmas. He brought gifts for Lil Bit and the dogs. The dogs’ gifts were leftover from my Aunt Steph in NY sending goodies for all the critters but not realizing Trinity was gone. That really irked the shit out of me. He knows I HATE for people to just drop in. He hates it but has done it twice since the split. He couldn’t be bothered to make any effort for most of the 2-3 years we’ve been back here but now that I’ve cut him off he wants to. Stephen plans to try to see our father which probably won’t turn out too well. I did warn him. I really wish I could sleep more. My dreams for weeks have been nothing but the Viking from mundane everyday life to his homecoming in every possible alternative. Between talking/chatting with him during the day and dreaming about him at night I might stay sane until this is done…lol…I want to be connected to him constantly. I am now party to the bottomless void of need for him, his presence, his love and most of all right now because we can’t have it, his touch. I just want to touch him and be touched again. My fear of losing him has resurfaced with a vengeance since the time got below 100 days. For some reason the 3 Doors Down song has always stuck for a marker of time. “100 days have made me older since the last that I saw your pretty face”. Now that the time is short I’m battling the bouts of intense fear and realization that I can’t change that, only be thankful for what we have. Fate has been a pretty cruel mistress in and around my life. I would be crazy not to accept that the most cruel possibility is among the cards of my future. I just have to have faith that those won’t be the matching pair turned up by time. This is an epic love and it is worth any pain. Dream land is calling and I must away before another night turns to day. Take care, stay sexy and love each other well. Happy New Year!  Kisses, LA    |

I never sleep through the night, waking up at least once in the middle of the night and only sleep a total of 5 or 6 hours at most. Have a very Happy New Year!
