Got back from Steak'n'Shake just after 1...a nice feast of carbs, so I was able to crawl back into bed and slept til 6. Woke from a dreadful dream wherein I was visiting Peter in NY and had my ID stolen from my wallet. I'd been in a store looking at some exotic spices that were marked down...turned my back for just a minute and my wristlet was gone...found it hanging from a display, money and ID gone. Went back to Peter's and ranted.

Lots of dreams like that lately, bad things happen, very angry at people...the other night, I was cussing out my boyfriend's dad (???), who was trying to take over my house and the last straw was when he damaged some special flowers and said he'd uproot them all when they were through blooming. That set me off; I started screaming curses at him and that it was MY house, motherfucker, and you can just get the fuck out! Where is all this RAGE coming from?! IDEK.

But this morning, I've had a shower and washed my hair, checked the balance and found out that my food stamp card has been loaded for the month. Yay!

This evening, the Memorial canasta tournament is scheduled for 6PM at J's. (Although you're welcome to show up at any time, sbjb, for munchies and schmoozing and loving reminisce. Or venting and telling it like it was, no doubt.)

Right now, I need to get dressed, go feed the ducks, then scan my coupons to see if I have anything to further defray the price of what Publix has on sale this week.

*hugs* Anxiety dreams are definitely the product of real-life stress. When I was pregnant and not making much money while working for a real bastard, I had awful dreams that someone broke into our house and stole all the baby's things -- clothes, crib, car seat -- and once I woke up crying because there was no way we could afford to replace it all.

I'm sitting here making out a four-part grocery list, based on what's on best price at the stores and what we need but can live without a little while longer. Both the dogs have been sick -- Rocket spent part of the weekend at the ER vet hospital, which is hideously expensive but he was so ill we were afraid he was dying -- and our cash is scraping the bottom of the barrel this week.

I suspect the anger is an amplification of the fear I'm living with, in regards to my job/financial situation. I also have dreams about finding money, and I'm so relieved and happy---until I wake up.

Poor Rocket! I hope he and Rosie are both doing well now? I'll have to try to get a pic of the Rosie I'm sharing digs with!

Rocket's had one infection after another since catching coccidia from Rosie. He's feeling better today, thank goodness. Rosie is growing like a weed, and we hope to get her spayed in a couple of weeks. The infection she had made her platelet count go too low for it to be safe to do surgery on her, so she's been on a course of steroids to fix that.

Think about a mini-dachshund on steroids. It's been like living with a pint-sized Terminator! :D

Must be a full moon or something- we are throwing a bridal shower IRL this Sunday for future daughter-in-law. Last night, I had a dream that the ENTIRE family showed up while we were trying to get the shower set up and demanded to be fed dinner. Sis- in- law and I proceeded to feed them all the while knowing we had a deadline to meet. In same dream, brother- in- law, who is a clean freak, was serving people cake with his bare hands. Final was that my other sis-in-law and deceased mother-in-law drove up in my old yellow Cadillac...how bizarre is that????
Hope the actual day of the shower goes somewhat smoother than that! ha ha

Last night WAS a full moon, so a certain amount of lunacy is to be expected. Good luck with the shower, here's hoping it all goes peacefully!

Caelie and I just got back from Steak & Shake.

YUM!

I love S'n'S! Except that ours is right across from the Mall, and tends to attract a lot of rowdy youngsters after the late movies let out. We've been known to decamp to Denny's, which tends to be quieter, albeit pricier.

I tried the Key Lime shake they've had for the summer and was massively underwhelmed. Next time, I'm sticking to butter pecan, which has never let me down.

Ours is near the mall too, though thankfully not right across!

We both contemplated the Key Lime shake, but wound up getting the Butterfinger (Caelie) and the Strawberry Cream (me) instead.
