Pausing edits for breather

Not quite sure why I feel so incredibly exhausted today, but I do. I know I woke up a few times during the night, once being 3:30 AM (checked meh clock) and that will work against me. Maybe just too many nights like that. It was odd. I woke up to what sounded like the cat throwing up, but . . . not. A second later, Kona let out this deep growl when I turned over on my back to hear if it was the cat and try to listen for the sound. Kona was the only dog who growled too. I sssshhhhed him but I heard no other sounds. Then my brain was all, I bet you anything if you look at the clock itā€™s about 3 AM-ish. Which is why I turned the clock on.

The Witching Hour. Iā€™ve used that in a short story I wrote (Veronica ā€“ No #3) because the time is significant with paranormal activity. Iā€™d say it was just my internal clock setting me to wake up at that time because when youā€™ve done that a few times your body will set itself to continue to wake at that time, buuuuuuttt for the sound and Konaā€™s reaction. If it were the cat, Kaley wouldā€™ve reacted too. Kona has been in this extra ā€œguard mommaā€ time lately at night so I find it interesting.

All this said, yes, we do have activity in this house. Itā€™s hard to explain to anyone who doesnā€™t believe, but itā€™s been going on all my life. When I was little I was afraid of sleeping by myself in my bedroom because I just KNEW there was something in my room. And I was frightened of it. I used to see black shapes a lot, lights and TVā€™s like to turn on by themselves. Or off. The heater has been turned on when none of us did it. So many more oddities that I started writing them down then quit because it was too much. Iā€™ve heard noises and felt things that are definitely not my imagination. Weā€™re the first and only individuals whoā€™ve ever lived here, so itā€™s not as if someone died here other than pets. Iā€™m rarely afraid of what happens now that Iā€™m older. Just seems like this past month there has been some increase of the nightly oddities.

Iā€™m not the only one who experiences that. My brother has been feeling something touch him at night (he has no animals in his room) and hears voices. Itā€™s funny. There was one night  over a week ago that I thought he was up until I went to bed because I heard voices and I assumed he was watching TV. I asked him what time he went to bed. He told me he went to bed at 7 PM. I heard the sounds at 9 PM and my mom was snoring away by that time in another part of the house. Sooo. lol

This is why I donā€™t discount anything Iā€™m told, and Iā€™m open-minded. Iā€™ve heard something puff out a breath not an inch from my face while I was brushing my teeth. Ya canā€™t say things donā€™t exist when that happens. Itā€™s also why Iā€™m fascinated by the other side of life and fully believe there is another sort of existence out there that we just canā€™t see. I just hope that whatever is enjoying itself around here will cease playing around at night. At least with me. I need my sleep.

On other things. I am almost halfway through my final read through for Blood By Night.

Have you ever experienced things out of the ordinary?

If you donā€™t believe in things like that, thatā€™s cool. I may have differing ideas if I had never experienced thing like this either.

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....

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

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...
