NOT! arrgh. Its frustrating. At least now I know I'm waking up after REM because I keep remembering my dreams (or at least that I had them) apparently my short term memory can only hold two dreams at a time - and no more. Sometimes not even that. Last night was working at a department store that is no longer in business (it was in my dream but not in real life) and the other was searching and finding space assassin kitties. yes.. space assassin kitties. go figure.
my weight is starting to come back down. was 188 on one scale this morning 187.5 on the other. now if I can just keep from blowing it this weekend *crosses fingers*
it is supposed to be a rainy wet weekend. Maybe I can get caught up on my TV viewing. Oh the curse of the end of summer shows and the start of the fall premiers.. National stay at home week? yea.. seriously, needing to call in sick to watch all the good TV out there.

generally out of it
These past couple of weeks haven't been fun for me at all. My chest is all congested - but my sinuses aren't. Go figure. I'm tired, and achy, and the sleeping pill I took did NOT help at all. Woke up the next morning quite sick like.. some weird combination of the flu and just a regular cold. No sneezing no coughing (well much) but Im congested in the chest, and my nose is running (not stuffed, but running) wtf?
I've been dreaming a LOT. I remember enough to remember how cool I thought the dreams were and how I wanted to blog about them, but then they were gone. I do remember last night I was dancing with my father. Don't know what that was about, but it was nice.
Dad did stop by recently. Washing machine bit the dust. I could spend $200 possibly fixing a 10+ yr old machine, or buy a new one. DH would have to help out with the fixing, and that is NOT his forte, so I just bit the bullet and spent $500 for a new one. it's bitchin. yea, you know your an adult when you get excited over a new appliance *rolls eyes at self* Actually I think the dryer was new when we moved into this house, and *thinks* either the frige was new or barely used.. I'm thinking it was barely used, because we did switch out the front pannels to get the stainless steel ones for on the cheap. Thats the thing about having a dad in the appliance repair trade... there are almost always used appliances hanging around when you need one.
Dad is doing well.. or as well as can be expected. Its weird how much he is looking like his older brother now. Both of them have that 'skin too large for their face' look. My uncle always seemed to have it, but now Dad really does.
Mom got a new job (was laid off from old job she had for 20+ years) and gets 3x the pay and four staff under her. She's the boss and dad says she's getting used to the idea. for 20+ years she was the underling.. its a few towns away, but she's going to commute for a couple of years before she retires. Which is good that they don't have to sell their house and move.. economy and all. Not that their house isn't prime, great location right in town... but still it is a hastle, so now they don't have to think about it.
another thing that has thrown me for a loop is the fact that my sis's husband had had an affair. She found out about it a few weeks ago. From what my dad said he told her and then expected her to get over it right away, and also told the councilor that he is stuck. He's been a house husband for so long... *smacks him on the back of his head*
the real kicker is that just a few weeks ago I actually had the thought, wondering if my sister's marriage would make it. My parent's did. Mine has.. (although by all rights it really shouldn't. My DH is a saint for putting up with me most days) and all the statistics out there.. seems that one or more of the marriages I know would fail.
Oddly enough, I have never known a marrige to break apart. No wait.. my cousin's did (after what seems like less than a year, but I did not know the husband, he wasn't very social) and my SIL's did (after what seemed like a week. she so should not have gotten married) these were marriages that were destined to fail. we knew it from the begining.
oh wait.. my BFOL left her husband. She is currently not divorsed but working on it, even though she's been separated from him for years, and has two children with another man ..
so I guess I shouldn't say that.. but it seems like in my day to day life - work, friends, immediately family - we were all stable. or so I thought.
she has two kids, so I kinda hope she can work it out. Actually I kinda hope he smartens the hell up and grovels like a dog who just peed in the house by accident.
I have no doubt that my sister would be fine with out him though. She is one strong woman.
