Monstrosities

August was a tough month this year. So much pain that even the medicine didn’t help much and while everyone is talking about healthcare, I got to figure out how much medical care I could afford without insurance, so that kept everything interesting.

My car has been free of anything except maintenance for ten years, so it stands to reason that eventually a few things must be repaired, or replaced. Unfortunately for me this year and this past month were when it made up its mind that some things had to go. Still, I love my car. I cannot recommend Honda Accords more, they are awesome!

There is just nothing like perusing my bills to reinforce the idea that I am going to have to be more creative! Last month, with both me and the car down, the bills were staggering and it all began to affect the way I thought. Top that off with all the days I had to spend in bed and by last week my dreams were getting to be world class nightmares, really spectacular monstrosities that might even make it on the big screen.

It appears this flare up is waning and life is moving back into a gentler lane.

This morning I woke up wondering why I didn’t write My Thots about Pavarotti, specifically the day he spent with me! You see they were holding the World Cup for Women’s Soccer across the street and he stayed with me so he could watch. I remember looking up and seeing him pretending to wash my front windows as he waved and laughed at me!

Then I really woke up and realized the reason I didn’t write about it was that it was only a dream. A great dream, though!

Here’s to September! May it be healthier, happier and a whole lot simpler!
