Take A Breath

For three weeks I have been in firefighting or reaction mode.  No ability to see beyond the moment, much less to plan and really think.  And paying attention to the news was a bit beyond my ability!

But, my mind started coming together and I could start to think about tomorrow.  Of course, it came about early this morning.  I woke up at 4 AM and my mind started chewing through memories I have no knowledge of the origin of.  Yeah, they seem to be memories that could be mine - but I got nothing to go with them, much less why remember them?  There was nothing really there other than high school memories of rejections and betrayals of trust by friends.  Yeah lousy friends, lousy times.  Maybe my mind is trying to work through the why of what I can detect around me these days?  And perhaps I do suspect the answer was on other side January 18 ... now seemingly lost ...

So what was I ultimately to settle my mind on thinking of?  Find out tomorrow, if I have the energy to type it up ...

I have a nurse which visits daily; changing the leg's packing and bandaging - as well as - assessing any vitals (as if I have any!  LOL!), then reporting all to my doctors, surgeon and infectious disease.  Sigh, everyone it seems is in my business!  But, all seems to be going well.  I had a long examination by a wound care specialist yesterday.  I am not sure which war she was associated with but it was before my lifetime and her knowledge is impressive!  And I love to learn new things and she to talk!  :)

I tried to watch the news, but honestly - who gives a flip that a millionaire spoiled brat football player lost his jersey!!!!!!!!  Honestly?  This is what is most important in the world at the moment?  Nothing about Ukrainian attempts to drive Russia from its borders, nothing about NATO deployment of the Volcano minefield technology in a few Ukrainian areas, nothing about continuing Islamic violence in Europe and almost nothing on interesting geologic processes at work with worldwide impact?  Nothing about the fun stories in the international news of what Obama has been up to implement another Cold War?  Disgustingly dishonest news reporting in America!

Well, I have reached the end of my energy - time to cycle down to sleep.  Perhaps I will dream of a place, in another time ..........
