Usually I can come up with a subject to blog about fairly easily, but today I feel like everything I came up with was repetitive or boring. So I give you this, a random mishmash of sh$% inside my head. You’re welcome. 🙂
Random thought #1: Last night, I dreamed I was in a room and there was an earthquake. The entire room shook (and maybe the whole city?). In the dream I screamed, and in real life, I screamed too. I woke my husband up and he held me for a bit. Say it with me: “Awwwwww.”
Random thought #2: I made a very odd yet intriguing discovery last night around 12:30. I had a horrific TN pain attack and needed a painkiller, and I wondered idly if it was tied to my hormonal cycle. I remembered reading something about that before. So because I’m a bad ass and have an app and a log of all my pain for the past two years, the information was literally at my fingertips. I did a quick cursory glance so I don’t know about all of it, but from what I read so far, there is definitely a correlation. I’d like to eventually put it into a spreadsheet or graph or something so I can see it all together (one day, she says. One day when she’s not slammed with work).
Random Thought #3: I just landed two new clients, yay! Both are amazing and awesome and I am so happy. I am also busier, which overall is a good thing.
Random Thought #4: You know, that painkiller packs a pretty good punch. I took it around 7:15pm. Pain was gone by 7:30pm and apart from a few aches, it stayed gone. This morning was excruciatingly difficult (more than usual) to get up and freaking stay awake. We’re about to hit the 24-hour mark and I’m still groggy. Day-um.
Random Thought #5: I saw a meme about a half hour ago on FB about an urban legend of a guy with two faces. The second face was on the back of his head and could groan, smile, and laugh? I think. It doesn’t sound like it was cognizant, though. But the guy believed the second face was talking to him. Now put that into a horror novel. BAM.
Random Thought #6: Our cat has been sick. Each episode she has, we literally start mourning as if that’s the end. I try not to, but the thought haunts me regardless. She’s been with my hubby for 14 years, and she was with him when we started dating. So literally she’s been with us as a couple since day 1. I refuse to let her go. I think subconsciously if I refuse to acknowledge it, it won’t happen? But dang, the time will come at some point and we’ll be gutted. 🙁
Random Thought #7: I started drinking plain, ice-cold water instead of water with water enhancer (grape). Reason being, it’s been theorized that artificial (misspelled twice! Bad editor! No cookie!) sweeteners contribute to cancer risk. Okay, fine, but I HATE plain water and if I drink too much of it, I puke. However, whenever I get ice water in a restaurant, I usually drink it all. Because it’s ice water. Why that matters so much is beyond me, but at least I’m getting it down.
Random Thought #8: My mom and I are obsessed with Gilmore Girls. We’ve already watched it all, including the revival, once. We are now on Season 6 of our rewatch. We are considering doing it for a third time once we’re done. Yes, we are insane.
Random Thought #9: One of my favorite quotes by Edgar Allan Poe: “I became insane, with long intervals of terrible sanity.” That pretty much sums up my life after deciding to get serious about my writing.
Random Thought #10: National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), which is a month-long challenge to write 50,000 in 30 days, which I love madly, is coming up fast. I had a plan, but I am thinking I may need to unplan because I’m not sure I will have the time to devote to it. It’s sad, really. I may possibly dictate and transcribe, if I can test it out beforehand. I’ve participated in many, many Nanos, and love it, but this year’s a bit squirrelly. I’m having issues coping, to be honest. But we’ll see. I have 2 ideas for a novel and each one is begging for attention. I might just say frick it and do it anyway. Because why not? I’m insane!
So I hope you found this stuff at least a bit interesting. Hopefully next month I’ll have something cool to talk about. Until then, watch Gilmore Girls! Pray for my cat’s continued health! Drink lots of water! And try not to scream in the middle of the night and wake your spouse up. I don’t recommend that, but the cuddling part is nice. 😉
