Day 126 - May 6, 2010
Got home past midnight today and after a quick meal dozed off hoping a power nap would get me all energized for some extra work. But the opposite happened, my body sucked me into slumber with only the nagging need to take/post a photo fighting the battle to wake up.
I eventually did get up past three in the morning and saw this random screen saver with tiles from various album covers from my iTunes library. For me it represents the movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, games and other forms of relaxing activities I've set aside basically because I don't have time for them right now.
In two weeks maybe, after this whole coverage is over I can get back to the grind. I miss all of you as well, I occassionally see your photos on Fluidr and just want to visit all your streams, I miss it terribly, but I really need to prioritize right now. Hope you are all doing well.
Cheers!
Luxor had a lot of stuff that still looked good and some with a fair amount of original paint left on it. It was also missing a lot; I liked how on some of those pieces they would put them together then just line draw what was missing.
غاب نورك الا طول في غيابه
عن سما عشقي وعن دنيا خفوقي
الصبر وشلون بتحمل عذابه
وانت بعدك نشف الدم بعروقي

70th Anniversary VE Day
My ex-boyfriend just found out that his current girlfriend has been sleeping with his best friend. After his best friend attempted to justify this by saying he wasn't his "best friend," merely his "oldest" friend (as if this can be justified, let alone in such a way as this), my ex broke up with the girl and has since decided to buy a staple gun and post these all over his town. My advice was to refrain... maybe lengthen the Will's Pub bender portion of the getting-over-it period and be better off for it in the long run. Let the liver deal with it. My boyfriend's advice was to use the best friend's phone number rather than his own. So complicated. And SO Jerry Springer....
Later, I received an email, "Yeah, I knew you'd be against it. That's why I went ahead and did it and then told you about it." Ouch.
Sort of reminds me of the lost pet posters the low men hung around town to find Ted Brautigan in Hearts in Atlantis.
The most ironic part of all of this was that this poster idea was concocted during a screenplay brainstorming session for one of my ex's projects by the girl herself as something the protagonist could do in the story. Sort of poetic in an odd way. Life imitates art.
P.S. He did use the best friend's phone number. Great minds, eh?
So much snow, followed by rain, followed by temps feeling like -18C First 'real' snow of the winter, such a mess. We were fortunate that our friend & farmer neighbour behind us brought his tractor and cleared the driveway when our 'snow contractor' pulled a no-show and wasn't responding to texts, calls, emails and FB messages for 48 hours after the storm had ended. There was no way we could have gotten up the driveway and out onto the road if we'd needed to. We thought for sure we'd been duped. He since showed up and texted us (in the middle of the night) a pic saying it's already been cleared. He's been here once since and we're expecting him again tonight because - yep, we've had more snow. Makes you kind of not want to trust anyone - even those with a website, testimonials and the gift of the gab.... (Turns out the names on the testimonials - his wife and two sons...). We signed a contract in October and pre-paid for the season because we aren't getting any younger and hubby's got a bum shoulder. We won't be using this guy next year, and while I'm tempted to launch a full scale smear campaign on all of his social media accounts, I don't know him, don't trust him, and don't want to deal with any repercussions. Found an online chat for his 'customers' - we're not the only ones dealing with this, and it also happened with his summer business of landscaping customers. Fingers crossed he'll continue to show up as needed this year - the contract runs till April 30th. I think his final nudge was me posting on his business FB page that I wanted a refund for the balance of the contract...
I can't be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test for loneliness
For loneliness like this
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

This is my spare car key. I'm looking, looking for my ring of keys.
I work in a library and at the beginning of December I saw this poster on our notice board. After Christmas I nearly removed the poster, but decided to keep it up a little longer.
In mid January I returned home from work one day and heard a cat crying at the neighbour's house which surprised me as they have a fierce dog.
Soon the cat was found in my garden and when I asked the neighbours to fetch their cat it transpired that it was a stray which they were just ignoring in the hopes that it would go away- or perhaps starve itself to death as they weren't feeding it. On seeing the cat- I remembered the advert for Harry the missing cat. I managed to feed the cat and my husband caught him- a quick phone call to the advertisers had them arriving in five minutes. They looked at the cat and pronounced him the missing Harry- a good six weeks after he had gone missing!! They lived at least a kilometer away from us and it is a mystery as to how Harry found his way to us unscathed.Why did he choose us- I was the only person who had seen the poster??
A tearful reunion followed. They told me that Harry was a wonderful, affectionate cat and that they had an autistic son who had a special bond with Harry.
They had had a most miserable Christmas.
They carried Harry home - I would have loved to have seen the reunion of the little boy and his friend Harry the cat- but suffice it to say- I got a lovely present and a wonderful card saying that the little boy walks round the garden with Harry in his arms, talking to him all the time- and the card has a drawing of Harry from the little boy.
So for once in this world of tragedies one little- or not so little- thing went well and I fell blessed to have been part of that.
i felt a little guilty as I took this picture of this elderly lady, intruding on her privacy but I also thought of how beautiful she looked as she sat enjoying the sea air. She seemed to me to be missing someone or something, totally wrapped up with her thoughts. Yeah i know she looks like she's asleep but she wasn't.
Woodhouse sidings and the missing sign is in place, or that's where I think it should be!
An engine running around its train stops here, then the signaller has a chance to send it down 'A' or 'B' road as necessary
it arrived with a message!
First time I have seen that stamp! LOL
Still missing 2 things from Dec sent from overseas :(
Hoping they arrive soon, too.
Exploring abandoned properties (in this case a multi-level old barn) presents photographic opportunities.
Lucy has taken to sleeping where Scout used to sleep during the day. She just looks a little sad. I do believe she is missing her sister.
