A Day in Bed

-

I am writing you in between going back and forth to bed all day. Yesterday before I took off and went to my party, a sudden attack of lethargy struck me. I had to lay down and I passed out for 2 hours. When I got up my back was killing me, my stomach hurt, and I felt like I was a mess.

I went to my party, walked to it in fact, and decided that this time I was going to have a few drinks, which might take care of the back pain, and have a good time. Worse case scenario, I go home.

I had a lovely time, lots of food, good company, and at the end the killer bottle came out. My friend knows we love Aquaveet-----so he stuck a bottle in the freezer. After a few sips of that, I forgot how to spell pain. We all had a chuckle over the fact that if you google the word aquaveet, my blog comes up as the number 3 and 4 search, and people stop by and read my silly story. Wish my artwork came up that way as well.

Today? My body hurt all over. I have a temp of 99 which for me is high since my body temp is normally very low. I have no energy. My hips ache, my shoulders, I feel totally spaced. I don't have a hangover, (ok I had a wee one in the early morning) I am no longer tired, but I just can't do a thing.

Of course I fear the infernal lyme disease.....we have deer that stroll through our yard and gardens. I have never seen a tick on me nor pulled one off---ever, I have always supposed that they don't like my body chemistry. But what if one bit me and I never knew it?

Well I am going to get a massage tomorrow and if this lethergy and pain persists, I will see the doc. Maybe I just have been working too hard and my body is saying STOP.

So later a bath, perhaps I am going to possibly join myspace and set up a place there for my art and such, and I have a few very cool things that I am going to list on ebay. Need to start to get money rolling in as in two more weeks I won't have any more paychecks for a few months!

Today's photo is of something I have never seen, can't find thru google, called Neaties. They are printed cardboard dresser drawer dividers that are really pretty......and I think that Ebay may be the place for these. I went to a yard sale and picked them up along with a few other things I am listing. More Hawaii photos etc.

See ya soon, Patti

La Cucina

Tonight my house had the aroma of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes and candles. Keith Jarret was playing in the background, and I had just opened a nice bottle of reasonable red wine. (Osborne Solaz, 2004 Temranillo/Cab- 7.00) I needed it for the sauce, so why not have some while cooking! I took good care of myself all weekend, and felt like cooking for the first time in what seems forever. I am an excellent cook. A collage cook one might say, or better yet, a bricollage cook. I take what is in the house and make a dinner out of it. I think about flavor, texture, color and variety. Most of the time I would rather put this creative energy into visual arts, but on occasion I will push my fine art aside, and the art of the evening is cooking. Candles, music, wine, and a lovely table. I must think more like Monet, and not only make the meal art, but somehow make it my visual art too. The best I could do was a photo of the beginning of the sauce. It looks rather bizarre if you ask me,...

I Don't Want to Get Any Older - I Want to Stay Just the Way I Am

Such words of wisdom in the kitchen between Larry and Alanna yesterday. "I don't want to get any older Yiyi, I don't want to be a mommy, I want to be just the way I am." Funny that a four year old should be thinking of such heavy matter during the Christmas Season. I sat for a few moments, going back decades, digging deep in the vault of my childhood memories, remembering what it was like to be four. whooooossshhhhhhh I am watching our black and white TV, and I flash between visions of the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz and the bogeymen from the March of the Wooden Soldiers. I am looking out the window into the dark inky sky of Christmas eve, believing that if I concentrated hard enough, I could make Santa and his reindeer appear flying between the twinkling stars. (ps I used that concentration when I fished all those years ago with #1 - to get the fish to come to MY lure....) I am lying in bed trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. I feel like I am on speed,...

Sunday Ramble

In yoga today my teacher talked about acceptance of life and of self, something which is a challenge to both the young AND the old. I was thinking about that yesterday when I was passed by my new full length antique mirror which leans against the wall in my hallway. I pass it from the shower to the bedroom every morning. Sometimes I stop and look and remember when I had the body of a runner, when there was no inch of pinch, or bulges, or dimples. Now, I look and chuckle, noting the attack of cellulite, the bumps, lumps, scars, spots, and veins, though if I squint my eyes and keep the light off, I can still see the framework of that runner’s body. I chuckle now because I am comfortable about my body. It took 50 years…many wasted with negative thoughts about my self which were so crazy. Part of my acceptance might also be the unconditional love that I have in a man who loves me for who I am and never says a thing that isn’t kind. (sometimes I hate that Larry..because it makes me loo...
