kittenmmm's blog post - An unexpected day

Usually I wait until after I get off work to blog but I've had a rather unusual day so why not top it off with an unusual time for this activity.

First off I have to say that the friends I've met on NN are irreplaceable. I love all of you who have taken the time to get to know me as a person and I thoroughly enjoy your company. But, I have to single someone out today.

We all get those days where we're just tired. Not physically tired, just spiritually/mentally tired. You get tired of the daily grind, the constant struggles, the seemingly endless list of things to do or deal with. I get tired at times too even though most of time I'm just a happy, go lucky person. There are those days when it just "gets" to me.

I had one of those days Wednesday. I was just bitchy and miserable (well, bitchy and miserable for me). As usual though I had my friends around to poke me out of it. Because that's what you do when you're friends. You let the person bitch and then you slap them around and tell them to get off their pity pot. My fall guy this time was old_wolf5 and I honestly couldn't ask for a better friend. (Well, maybe Lunna because I can perv cocks with her and that's always a good thing Just kidding guys. You know I love ya both.)

He listens to me, sees right through me and then helps me get off my pity pot or wherever else I happen to be moping. I can't get away with a thing with him, not that I want to. I prefer an honest, straightforward relationship where you can say anything and not worry about how the other person is going to "take" it. Anyway, I just wanted to take a minute to thank him for being him, for being my friend and for touching my life.

Now, for the rest of the day...first off I got some mail! I was expecting a couple of pieces of mail but ended up getting something I didn't expect so soon! I got some awesome Led Zeppelin cd's! Damn these NN folks are the greatest! Thank you (you know who you are)!!! Also in the mail, and totally unexpected, was a card from 2k. How neat is that? There's nothing like a written letter or card to know that someone is thinking of you, taking the time out of their day to write specifically to you. I like e-mails but there's no cut and paste in a handwritten note. And now I have the full address instead of the gibberish I wrote down at 5am.

It was really windy and rainy here today too, so I had to spend some time running around in that crap picking things up and moving others. A ladder blew down against the house, luckily not breaking a window it landed about a quarter of an inch from. Other objects were being tossed about. So I had to do that, getting soaked in the process. Well, what better excuse to burn some old papers and boxes! So I had my first wood stove fire for the season and it warmed me right up. Just trash but I love the flames and the crackling. It's so soothing.

Then the power went out. LOL. Came back on, went out again. The third time it stayed out for several hours. So, why waste it? I started cleaning. I was looking for something specific which I still haven't found but I'm having a blast. I'm going through all the old pictures. Wow, what memories. Pictures of me from high school, from my old jobs, from the race tracks and my biker buddies, my son's baby pictures....my life in a cardboard box basically.

So, despite all my best laid plans (I'm a plan-o-maniac - usually don't follow them but I have to plan)I didn't get some of the things I had imagined done, but it's been a good day nonetheless.

Good days and good friends to everyone. *kisses*
