Yeah, dark and 80 degrees is NOT good š. Bacterial growth; ick.
Seriously. My son was talking the other day about how cold I try to always keep our home. I learned that from working in a surgery center (germs donāt grow at certain temperatures). And, Iāve slowly but surely developed a āphobia to seen dustā (as in dust on furnitures and floors). I can do without wearing sterile gloves on the job for everything, but wash my hands a lot.
So, my hands? Well, donāt wear gloves much outside either. Only when shoveling or scraping the car of snow.
And just now realizing that I better start regularly using lotion, since my hands are my bread-winners.
And Iām back to wearing my ugly cover-alls. š
Pity party it was.

And, what itās really all about? Is I hate my life when I am sick. Already need more sleep than a regular person, and I canāt do āanythingā about sick people around me.
Clean environments, good nutrition, washing hands. All I gotta do now is get a gym membership to get exposed to tons of germs to boost my immunities š. (I do still go to the grocery store nearly every day).

There ARE people, who can function āsickā. That never complain about how they really feel. And can keep pushing.
As long as Iām overly- concerned with how āIā feel, Iām not one of those people š.
Thereā s gotta be a way to change THIS. š

nods..I rarely get sick but tough can be a huge downfall. Just did a stint in urgent care because I've been a bit 'off' for a couple/three months...thought I was developing some IBS maybe..changed diet around....uggg gave a UTI long enough to get a REALLY good foothold..so some strong antibiotics...and I'm coming around. Funny thing was...mysterious things do happen...I was whining about cures to my favorite friend above and the next day my back was hurting so bad I couldn't walk upright I felt like a bloomin monkey..so being a wise self medicator I took a vicodin and a half and an ibuprofen on an empty stomach and not so long thereafter had horrendous dry heaves (so much fun)..well my history of heart attacks...that is my only symptom so off to the urgent care...where I got a lecture on not taking things like that on an empty stomach and wow..this is a raging infection..'how long have you been sick?' sigh...I wasn't realllllllly sick just not quite well. Not the usual symptoms of a UTI...but the doctor informs me that it can pretend to be a lot of things.. Talk about sleep....my body acts like it's trying to fend off Bubonic plague...9/10 hours but that is my self's remedy...I sleep. So sometimes tough isn't so smart. Germs? I spray with Lysol when I think about it...wash my hands now and then throughout the day..especially when I cook, but a doctor told me years ago that you can't build up an immunity to something unless you expose yourself to it. But I didn't have a very long term germ sensitive disease. I've been out with horses all my life surrounded by dirty dingy mechanics at work...many many cats and dogs and birds...and kids..those are the worst! The neighbor kids and my boss's kids (who visit too often) are germ factories...everyone gets colds. I have a flu shot and pneumonia shot...and now enough antibiotics to choke the average horse....the rest is up to that friend of mine upstairs I'm not gonna fret over it cause knowing me..then I will work myself up to getting sick. Hope EVERYONE stays well. The ice maiden is protected by sub zero temps LOL

Oh my goodness, Jo!? A uti is the death to some people! Especially as we get older...... I hope that you get that totally cleared out!
Iām a wimp there, too. Had a bad uti myself in my early 20s, that went into septecemia and nephritis. Almost died. In the hospital for several days and went home with an iv in my arm for another week of treatment. Iāll never forget that hospital stay because the Iran/contra affair was on every channel š š. My kidneys tested fine afterwards. It was a weird situation; I had been taking an antibiotic for one of my bouts of pneumonia, so suddenly I needed really strong antibiotics!
These days I *wonder how much my illnesses are due to THEM (the little scientists). Of course we now know that Iāve got this rare blood problem.....
On a positive note, I have NOT had pneumonia for several years now, and only had bronchitis ONCE in the last 3 years..... and Iām TRYING to live my life without fear š¤ (including the fear of having trouble breathing).
This week I took no naps during the day, and āthe worldā suffered (I was grouchy).
Today it is 55 degrees outside, and Iām just ālaying aroundā š. ~ sigh ~ I can recall thinking that I was ātoughā (a different way), and then someone pointed out that I am āalways sickā.
Does it count that in the last 6 mo. of work that I have only called in sick once??
I KNEW that Jo and Lore were those ātough women typesā. Betting that Aunty is ALSO. Those types that will be āactive in their communityā all the way ātil the day they die š.
Really, I was hoping on some suggestions on how to ignore HOW I FEEL. Iāve read a book on how people ignore chronic pain (so so thankful that I donāt have THAT- except headaches).
I want to be somewhat not so ācerebralā all the time; but yet not forget what I did 20 minutes ago. š
Seriously, why Iām I so āenthralledā with internally asking myself how I feel?? Even with the previous history of doctors poking and prodding, this wasnāt something that I was ASKED. (Iām guessing that nurses/doctors assumed I felt bad with a temp of 105 . . )
??

The internal voice; folks.
I hear it say āI feel like crapā. āIām soooo tiredā. āMy head hurtsā. Iāve got one more client and then I can go homeā. And then I get home and the internal voice says āI wish to be left alone tonightā.
Is this normal??
How do I redirect these type of thoughts?
I know we all have them. I just want to go without them for awhile š. Is this a realistic want? Does everyone honestly feel āthis crappyā most of their days and just never voice it?
I donāt voice it. I try to APPEAR TOUGH. Someone asks me how Iām doing, and I always answer āfineā. And smile. Smiling DOES help š¤.
If Iām FEELING decent, I might respond with āgreat!ā š
(But I havenāt been called āsunshineā in a long time)

Some people (not saying you) find a kindness and validation from doctors they get nowhere else. It's about THEM and only them..all focus on the patient. That isn't a scrutiny I'm comfortable with..actually. Maybe some hold over from my 'great' adventure but I really am uncomfortable being poked and prodded. Made heart surgery oh so fun...daily blood letting...etc. Then too my father discouraged my sisters and I from being ill or needing a doctor. He almost killed my oldest sister when she was thrown from a horse and ruptured her spleen...she kept passing out and my mother had to step up and sign permission because he wouldn't. She was the first splenectomy in Southern Calif. When I was thrown from my horse and broke my arm...he kept insisting I was fine. He actually didn't want the doctor bills...and my step mother was Christian Scientist and they don't do doctors. I detested him so much toward the end that even when dead sick with the flu I still went to school to stay away from him..100 percent attendance LOL I continued the whole father thing...by marrying someone very much like him. The day I came home from having heart surgery he asked me to make him crepes...I did. So...I have only myself to blame for the patterns I've set. My children have the benefit of doctors when they've needed them and I raised my kids to be able to stand up for themselves. I'm proud of that.
JC who knows what we take from the experiences we've had...and some of yours have been pretty bizarre. When you know you have a blood condition that could land you in the hospital...I don't find it odd that you become very conscious of what your body is doing and what germs could be invading it. Who takes care of your parents if you get sick and go into the hospital? I worry about stuff like that because I take care of our bills..and I also take care of my son's..and their taxes...so I always worry if I'm not here...can't afford to be sick..I have to work. So I'll probably be a tad more cautious too.

Thanks Jo. I needed that.
And itās remarkable how much I still find that we have in common.... my folks were very reluctant to take us to doctors too... the bills. But also, they never got sick.
So, I had to be running a high fever or something to go see the doc.
Me, Iām so full of excuses that I felt sorry for my folks that they ended up with āsickly kidsā. But you know what? Thatās probably happening to a lot of parents these days.
My mom had her very 1st case of pneumonia recently, and her being sick, literally made me cry. Especially when she thought that she would just feel better in a couple of days.....
God is so good! Heās put people in my life that help me understand so many things that I feel āaloneā in.
Even that fact that sometimes Iād rather just continue working outside the home, than ever come home š.
It was good for me to just ālay around hereā all day. I took several short naps, made the coffee when it was out, and was the one putting my dad to bed tonight. (My sister went into work at 6:00 PM). I didnāt cook, or do dishes. Did my laundry after the folks were in bed. š
Thanks again. Itās gonna be ok. š

Rough night. Did I get six hours of sleep? š¤Ŗ
The ādoorbellā I installed next to my dads bed started going off shortly after my last post. It āringsā in the front room (not their bedroom of course) so it didnāt wake my mom.
This morning the folks were up by 6:30 am. Slamming cabinet doors and the microwave. Heard my mom yell at my dad that āhe is stubbornā. The pot calling the kettle black š. My sister has called 3 times with questions about a grocery list. *********
The internal voice said āmy life sucksā.
THIS, I can discount. š
Now, the dogs are barking.
Iām going to church. Iām going to a super bowl party today with church friends. I WILL come home in between š.
My life does NOT s_ck.
In fact, with all this āruckusā around the house, I believe that ātheyā are staying away. šš

They probably don't like the 'feel' of anything chaotic...shrug..at a guess...I know I don't. So..in a way..your life does suck...I'm sure it hasn't exactly reached expectations you might have had for it once upon a time. We all fall into a bit of life-iss suck-iss from time to time...and that is perfectly fine to feel that way. I'm not on a gorgeous island somewhere with amazing waterfalls and waves lapping at the beach..sipping nectar from a glass Harold the handsome just brought me either LOL. Actually I'd be more apt to be building myself a gorgeous waterfall tumbling into a pool surrounded by plants I planted...sleeping in a hammock watching the stars sail by...no Harold the handsome...way to much trouble. To have the luxury of not making decisions for anyone else...now that would be amazing.
There is not a thing wrong with you...or me...we're ok. You hate to see your parents getting old and declining...and I'm sure my kids are terrified I will. I know my daughter suffered when I had to go to urgent care. All we do..affects someone...somewhere. And you are wayyy stronger than you give yourself credit for. You've had this blood disorder nipping at your heels for how long? If I had that hanging over my head...I wouldn't sound so cocky or brave...trust me. I think you're an amazing lady...spiritually rich...loving and caring...and those are the things that matter. It will be fine.

š chaotic is the word.
I had a good day yesterday. And no guilt.
Lots of people to chat with at the party, and they all know my situation, so it only came up as a topic, ummmm, twice; briefly.
And NOT as āhow are your folks doing?ā š
The Super Bowl? I find myself āfeeling sorryā for the players. šš¤Ŗ. Does a lot of money soothe an aching body and disappointment? Eh.
Weird question, I know. But try to picture all those men faking all that emotion .... oh my!
Iām āin a rutā. Iāve (of course) asked myself if this is depression. Today I have a clear head, so the answer is āNoā. Last week, I had trouble driving, which is very scary! Even in short driving distances. Waaaay too distracted. THAT, I feel guilty about, and I didnāt hit a squirrel or anything.
Praying about āthe little thingsā.

I used to train and show horses for several clients..most of them on the older side...some of them major whiners...but ALL of them had one thing in common...they were paying a LOT of money not just to me but in entry fees, hotel rooms, meals etc to WIN. They did not want to come in second or third. Most of my horses were performance animals..but a few were 'halter' horses ..judged on conformation and the ability to stand there and look cute. Huge amounts of money were paid for these horses some in the $200,000 range. Performance horses not so much..they won by how well I could train them to perform obstacle classes, drive with the clients sitting there holding reins like they were actually doing something. My daughter showed in a lot of these classes for the clients. One jumping class she had 6 of the horses in a 7 horse class and as they were 'mini's' she had to run the course while they jumped. We were the best performance stable..because I couldn't take the whining if they lost and because I think God took pity on me. They were not good losers....but in those classes when they competed against each other...you would see the true meaning of dissapointment and faked happy emotion...they couldn't all win.. I imagine the super bowl...a bit like our year end Nationals..when horses came from as far away as Canada..to Texas where we all fought fang and claw...because...if your horse won...people admired it and wanted to pay a LOT of money to breed to it..or buy it. The pressure, long hours, lack of sleep and food...made us all a bit daffy but pretty tough too. We were always on the road to some state or another to 'qualify' for the National show..a certain amount of points required for each class. Had to get the points 'win' or they didn't get to compete in the biggie. Did that for 11 years until most of my clients retired or died and I wore out LOL...but it kept my daughter into horses and not boys for years and she got to play dress up in prom dresses every time she drove a horse for a client...looking like a movie star hauled around by this adorable little creature. During one of those shows I had a heart attack and didn't know it..I thought I had the flu because I couldn't stop throwing up..see...God travels. I didn't die and the doctor who did my bypass surgery years later found the scars from the first one...asking when did you have the other heart attack?? HUH? Other? When I got home from that show I went to the emergency room but they didn't catch it..apparently the heart had overcome. We are made of stern stuff. I took them to a show the next weekend. I'm sure my friend upstairs had some plan or has...I just haven't a clue what it is I'd appreciate a clue no end LOL These players are making enormous money but their careers are relatively short. You don't see many old football players still in the game. Baseball yes..not quite the contact sport. The injuries are hideous..and the loss is only comforted by the fact they got that far. To the Super Bowl. I enjoy college ball more than pro ball..the players are still playing because they like it..I think. Can't all win.

Which way do YOU look at the āGoldilocksā story ? š
_____________________
(From wiki) :
Maria Tatar, in The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales (2002), notes that Southey's tale is sometimes viewed as a cautionary tale that imparts a lesson about the hazards of wandering off and exploring unknown territory. Like "The Tale of the Three Little Pigs", the story uses repetitive formulas to engage the child's attention and to reinforce the point about safety and shelter.[17] Tatar points out that the tale is typically framed today as a discovery of what is "just right", but for earlier generations, it was a tale about an intruder who could not control herself when encountering the possessions of others.[21]

ākeep your eyes pointed downward at your deviceā (Laughing) from the recent article on ādecline in ufoā.
Too funny. š¤£
Iām suspect, too. I found myself reading whole chapters of the Bible on this thing yesterday; something I never do. Sure, I look up particular verse on here and study, but usually pull out my Book for real-time viewing.
So, I awoke this morning at 4:55 am or so, and promptly thought of the term, āGoldilocksā. The TERM; not the story. As in, āGoldilocksā planets. Hmmmmmm.
Donāt recall any dreams. Slept well and no problem getting up and starting coffee.
Then after taking care of the dog, Iām on this device looking up Goldilocks. āŗļø
Getting more coffee... looking at the digital clock....

... and every one else is āupā. ~sigh
My home IS quiet lately. Dad has been gone to rehab all week, and the tv is not on near as much.
Have I always loved the quiet?
Friday night my mom and I came home from a visit to my dad shortly after dark. While eating dinner together, we started hearing strange thumps ON the house.
First, by the gas fireplace (it was on and sometimes makes strange noises). Then we sat and listened, and āitā came from the roof above the kitchen. A few minutes later, again by the roof in the kitchen. My mom is a little wide-eyed....
I had left the garage door open and still had on my coveralls, so out I go (no fear). Everything is iced out there, and the only ācrunchingā of snow was when I walked on the lawn. The neighbors house makes a few pops of ice breaking and falling, but nothing visible.
There are no piles of snow newly accumulated around the house, but Iām thinking of ice breaking and sliding on our roof, but not falling.
It briefly enters my mind; āthe little gitsā. Of course I donāt see them and there are no footprints visible on the roof. I walk around the outside of the house again; no weird āfeelingsā at all. Finish emptying items out of the car, shut the garage door, go inside and take off my coveralls.
Go in the upstairs bathroom and promptly hear a muffled thump. Come out of there and ask my mom if that was the noise again. Yes.
Canāt explain it. The sound is definitely on our steep sloped roof, and not the sound of ice or snow hitting the ground. Snow falling from something āinvisibleā above the house?? ~ shrug~
Slept ok Friday night.

World full of bad dreams last night. So many different topics! Some of them showing me (reminding me) how much I love people ((wanting to save them from catastrophes; monsters). š
These dreams, as bad as they are, I am ācomfortableā with. And Iām tired. Itās Sunday so Iām actually on the verge of going back to bed.....
My results in dreams are hardly satisfactory. I used to say āI wouldnāt know a good dream if I had oneā. š
That is no longer true! The good ones are the mundane ones and the ones that make no sense at all.

~ sigh ~ Iām always going to be on the fringe side of things. No matter what I do.
Taking a āstep back from here, TEORā, not by MY choice, of course.... a relative calmness in my life from anything happening that is paranormal?
(Nothing else is calm. LOL.) š¤£
It says of me, that I STILL look at the paranormal, including the ālittle scientistsā, as something negative. Of course! š
Because I still have a lot of āneatā things happening in my life. Little miracles of faith, that IS hard to explain. And me, believing that to say āJesus is ever presentā, comes across as another of my āfringeā beliefs. š¤
For the umpteenth time I can freely say: āHow do people do this life without Jesusā ??

March 3, 2019
Just checking in, folks. Before going on to read the many interesting articles posted here on TEOR.
We seem to be watching a lot more movies around here lately. Netflix, Roku, YouTube; what have you. My sis still watches her share of scary movies at night, I have ear plugs in (sitting in the tv room in the daytime š¤£), but the point is, my parents are taking a much needed break from āthe newsā. There ARE a lot of touchy-feely movies out there other than the hallmark channel (thankGod). Historical ones, too. A whole different world outside of the hollow wood blockbuster.
On the scary side, Iām amazed at how many movies are dealing with āsleep paralysisā. š š²š² (Scary movies, I mean).
It snowed here again. Yesterday it was bitter cold and the sun was shining, and I was thinking of Spring (the snow recently melted from the last snow). Then, the frosty flakes starting again this morning around 6 am (awake in time to just see them start š).
I FINALLY am in menopause. Yay! For me it means a lot more night sweats and incredibly hot moments! LOL. (and ātheyā, are incredibly cold).*
* these kind of things just dawn on me. Accurate? I donāt know. But might help explain why ātheyā seem to be keeping their distance. āŗļø
My left ear ringing. Hmmmmmmm. It increased 50% when getting near a police vehicle with obvious radar going. Is this a no-brainer?
Getting up this morning, everything looking normal, I look down at the carpet on the stairs as Iām walking upstairs for coffee, and Iām seeing a āgrid patternā. I look to the white wall; and nothing. Look back to the stairs, and see a faint grid pattern. Almost thread bare carpet? Nope. (But mentally know there is a grid pattern there). Later today do I see this āgrid patternā through the carpet? Heck no. š
Still feel very vulnerable at night (dreams). Does that keep me from falling asleep? Heck no. The more I resist sleep, the less I feel rested. *another one of those moments*.......
Am I dreaming more because of this incredible heat raging through my body? IDK. All I can tell you is that I am not taking anything for menopause. I forget my daily vitamin. The heat is intense! But I feel my forehead or under my chin, and my skin is cool. Weird.

Oh, and for anyone keeping track, I was definitely pre-menopause the last 8 years.....
Did my ālittle scientists encountersā become exponentially greater these past 8 years? Some would say āyesā. (And I moved households twice in the last 10-15 years- which lends itself to the major dreams Iāve had about feeling like I donāt have a āhomeā, and being TOLD: āwe can find you anywhereā š).

(March 3, 2019)
Became AWARE of serious (for me) health issues in the last 8 years. Uncontrollable anemia and skin infection of MRSA. MRSA becomes common knowledge and a health scare across the US OF A and elsewhere. (I may be cured of. Wait and see). Uncontrolled anemia also a āwait and seeā, because of hope of menopause and stopping of regular bleeding. Makes sense to me š.
Questioning everything? More so the last 8 years. Maybe because I was self-imposed not working outside the home? Nah. Still had 2 teenagers to finish raising. Two folks aging. Plenty busy. (The thought of being a current recess aide and having more free time on the playground for thinking- is factoring in). š
Reading more? More interested and engaged in topics? Maybe so.
Memory declining? Obviously so. (And canāt remember which year was so darn important to me at one time. 2018 or 2019? And why?)
Not so much āwaiting for the other shoe to dropā. As waiting for WHEN.
And does this feeling of WHEN have anything to do with āthemā (the aliens). Laughing. What IF I heard āaliensā and this past year and now, and my mind left out the word āillegalā š. _________________
What I DO KNOW, is these past 8 years I have (ever so subtlety) cried out for some sort of ālittle scientists/aliensā warning device. Maybe itās out there, but not available to the public? Maybe those few āalienā articles in PAPERS across the board were required 1st.
Warning device? Sheesh. I want something that stops āthemā (and here, we are definitely not talking illegal aliens..... ha ha).
The closest thing I have to a warning device and a deterrent is Jesus Christ. And my friend, and the person supposedly in the āknowā on here, claims that THAT doesnāt work either.
Iām sorry, no offense. But coming to realize that certain people donāt know a whole heck of lot more than I do ......... ahhhh. Never wanted to really acknowledge this.
We use whatever ādeterrentā we can. Of course I will welcome the guys that promote healing in their human subjects. !!
Ha! Another stray thought. My doctor (specialist) proclaiming how lucky I am to not be on any medication (due to family history; etc) at my age. MY AGE?? Feel old only sometimes (and in comparison to a 20 year old). Wish that I was more active.
It goes without many repetitions, that God has made those of us AWARE of an āalien intrusionā. And that we have āgiftsā to fight this intrusion in some way....... that somehow human kind is being oppressed..... and, itās not too late.

Nobody 'does' their life without Jesus or God. Just because someone doesn't have faith doesn't mean they are not still loved and cared for. They may not ask for help but I think help isn't that far away.. We just think we have the 'edge' by caring/loving/believing..but it has so often been said...God loves ALL of his children..he may not like all they do...but he loves. I never did the menopause thing. There was a point in time when I went for two weeks crying. I cried over songs..I cried ..I just cried...for two weeks. I was not sick...didn't go to a doctor...then it stopped. Scared my kids to death LOL...never had sweats or any of the other symptoms..things just stopped one day. From what I have noticed in others..I'm rather glad about it. I would have been a very evil menopausal woman. My left ear has 'rung' since the visit I had at age 7 or 6 can't remember which actually. Never stops but over the years I have learned to tune it out mostly...sometimes its so loud I can't. I seem to get more curious the older I get...more interest in the world around me...the unseen things that I know are there...I can feel em...I just can't see them. Some financial stress...son out of work trying to help him..and keep our heads above....keep paddling LOL. I know things will get better. Hope your parents are on the mend...hang in there... And don't ever stop being curious.

........... 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. ...........

And so many people are miserable.

On the other hand, āweā THINK that we KNOW God š¤.
I know His promises.
One: In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths (another Psalm).
Yes, He Directs all paths. I pray that my free will is in line with the path that I am to take today.
Listening.......... š

So sorry about your son and his job, Jo. That poor guy. We know what you have been through, and itās hard enough to imagine. šš¢
He is your child. And, Gods child. Thank You for reminding me to pray for him. ___________________
My parents? Are really the most amazing people. (Trying to look at them from the standpoint of what they have been through- including the Great Depression- have a whole new appreciation about THAT). š
I was put in this family for a reason. And I am quite spoiled and trying not to be ārottenā. š
āWEāveā chosen a memory care facility for my dad. His room is put together with stuff from home, but havenāt moved him in yet..... my standard saying is: āWhen 3 women (mom, sis, and I ) CANāT keep a good man down.....ā
What do you do?? My son and I were joking the other day, that if grandpa decides to come home one day, we are close enough that he will escape their ācodesā and simply walk home! Lol.
Another luxury. Planning and talking about this move to where it sounds good to him. Wherever he goes, he will still be a fall risk. But after EVERY stay in rehab, he is stronger. A place with guided activities, and PAID FOR security, etc (as I said, another āwait and seeā) he shouldnāt be just sitting in his chair (like here at home) day in and day out just watching tv and watching for my mom to fall asleep so that he can go tinker in the garage, or downstairs.... I have SO many stories !!
My mom breaking her foot. Not the last straw, but didnāt make DAD any more careful; or thoughtful.... she is healing. On her second walking cast now, and she forgets about it.
I was (was) always afraid that my dad would have to be ādruggedā by anyone else to ākeep him safeā (where did I get this notion??) šš
