Rainy morning. There is a steady drip . . . drip . . . drip . . . next to me. The rain has decided to start coming through the fireplace. Not out into the living room, but I guess the cap that usually keeps most of the water out, isn’t doing such a good job anymore. We don’t use the fireplace because my elder mother’s sinuses don’t handle the smoke. So the fireplace doesn’t get used enough to stay dry. There is also an ordinance in our city that forbids the usage of them unless they are the main source of heat. City living.

I thought I would attempt to get a bunch of editing done on Daughter of the Red Planet. I am attempting to stay off the computer today. The headaches and dizziness was really bad the past few days. I admit to pushing myself. Seems at only 35, my body wants me to be more careful with things of that nature.

I’m sure others spend way more time on the computer than I do (I do an hour in the morning for writing and three in the afternoon for editing), but I have my limits. I have to be more conscious of that now. Far too much responsibility placed on a little girl’s shoulders makes them get old, fast. I sometimes think my 75 year old mother has more youth in her than I do. Her and my brother have always expected me to go go go so not only do I have to learn to stop that, but they have to learn to stop getting it.

I keep wondering if the cold Winter weather has to do with my exhaustion I keep feeling right now too. Could be. I know someone personally who gets depressed at this time of year (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and it usually shows as exhaustion in her too. When I used to visit her (lives down the street from us, but from her heavy smoking, I had to stop visiting because the smoke gets to me too much now) she would talk about sleeping most of the day. We’ll see if as the weather warms, I stop feeling so damn tired. I know this Winter makes my knees hurt worse than ever. Cold period. I cracked them when I was young on one of those mini trampolines so now when it gets cold the knees act up. Yay for being a kid! Lol

I’m also working today on finishing a crocheted hat and scarf project for my mom’s “aunt” that she asked me to do. She calls her an aunt, but I think it’s only a term.

This is part of the start for the hat.

I’m using the same Single Crochet as it shows in the picture for the whole project. The yarn is a bit lighter than that image shows, but you can make out the silver tinsel threaded throughout. It’s very pretty.

I finished the hat last night while watching A Walk In The Woods with my mom. Good movie. And then I got a head start on the scarf this morning while I watched a new movie I found, Extinction. A new take on zombies. Decent movie.

Going to make a baked pancake for lunch for my mom and I, and then do some editing. After that hopefully finishing the crochet scarf. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. :)

I will leave you with a picture I took this morning. Terrible one because of trying to capture it with one hand. I was trying to take an image of Kona wanting a hug for myself. Then I thought, why not share the cuteness? They love to get held (hugged) like this. Every since they were born. My sweet boy. He just got a haircut so he’s wearing his batman shirt for warmth. That is the BEST shirt for him. Too cute.

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

By
This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
