Joy Unconfined

Still waiting for ONE suitcase. You know, that one that ended up going to Phoenix, though somehow it managed to follow me all the way to Vegas before taking that little detour. I called yesterday. They said they would have it delivered. The phone call was at noon. The guy said it could take 4-5 [...]

Get a grip. People hate sissies. No one’s ever gonna shag you if you cry all the time. One would THINK… I’d be over all this. Seriously. It’s been… well… long enough. But sometimes…

How is it that luggage checked in when *I* check in… going the same place *I* am going… cannot arrive when I do? It happened when I got there… no luggage. I had to go to Target and buy clothes to wear to the memorial service on Saturday. Everything on my body for that service [...]

I’m determined to sing on Thursday… even if it doesn’t sound very good because my voice closely resembles that of a toad. But the show must go on… Hence… the doctor has kindly (?) put me on a 5 day course of antibiotics, a 6 day course of steroids (to help with the throat inflammation), [...]

I think… now… that this alien that has taken residence in my sinuses and chest (oh noooo… ALIEN!!) needs to leave. I’ve missed 2 days of classes, a night of dance rehearsal and a night of band rehearsal. That’s quite enough, thank you.

I lost someone very dear to me on Sunday, August 26. A year ago I was celebrating the beginning of a new life for one friend, taking part in her wedding. August 26 is a beautiful, wonderful day because of that. This year, I lost someone. August 26 is a horrible day because of that. [...]

So I picked up a couple of magazine issues. One was the latest issue of O, the Oprah Magazine today. Every so often I do that… pick up a magazine or two. Why? Am I really that interested in the lives of celebrities? I don’t think so. At least… not in the way that many [...]

1 glass. (Only one.) Of Toad Hollow Cabernet Sauvignon “Concinnity” at night… and all the things that cause my heart to race (in the BAD way), all the things that make me cry spontaneously, all the stress of not knowing how I’m going to survive… they all become a little less acute, a bit more [...]

So everyone please join me in doing the mystical dance of “get-Joy-a-job”. Because then I could get groceries and stuff.

Doing another Yard Sale on Saturday the 4th of August. (At 6:00 a.m. Take Herndon to Milburn, North on Milburn, West on Alluvial, North (curving around toward West) on River Bluff, North on Barcus to the end… corner lot.) So we’re selling all sorts of stuff. Bellydance stuff, kid clothes, household items, adult clothes, gothic [...]
