REAL WOMEN SURVIVE MONDAYS
I ask you....... was it universal, or was it just everybody here in Edmonton who didn't sleep last night and were yawning all day at work today? There wasn't a full moon, so maybe there's some planetary thing going on.... well I guess there's ALWAYS some planetary thing going on....... 
I woke up at around 3 a.m. with a splitting headache, what THAT'S about I don't know..... as if it's not bad enough having a splitting headache in the middle of the day ~ but when you're trying to get some SLEEP for gawd's sake??? I mean, I wasn't DOING anything, 
, just laying there minding my own business and snackin' on some Z's. I wasn't doing headstands or tryin' to immitate Linda Blair's 360 degree headturn from The Excorcist..... honest!! 
Hell, I wasn't even having a bad dream! But for some unknown reason, all too often I'll wake up in the middle of the night with my head banging so hard it makes my stomach sick.
So anyway, up I get and take some Exedrin X-Strength, which is the one pill that does it for me. I cannot lay down with a headache, it just makes it pound worse, but I tried anyway so I could maybe catch some more snoozin'. By 4 a.m. I had to give up on that silly notion and get up for the day. Of course, by about 7:30 my headache was all gone and my eyes wanted to slam shut, but now I had to get ready for work. Figures huh? And I get into the office and just about everybody there had a bad night and we all had eyelids at half mast all day. Can you say
"CREEPY"???
Not to piss you late Xmas shoppers off even more (who ME?? )
guess what I did last night?? I got them all wrapped too! LOL So now instead of piles of boxes, bags and gifts laying all over the floor, I've gone one better ~~ now I have piles of wrapped gifts and full gift bags all over the floor. And no Xmas tree up yet to put them under. But hey, they all look so puuurdy laying there now!
There is sometimes a method to my madness.......sometimes......
You know what I never did? I haven't welcomed some newcomers I've linked to my blog! Sorry ladies! Welcome to Terri and Tracey, who I linked up in the last couple weeks, and also to Patty (another Albertan! Yay us! )
and
Kate, I've added them just tonight. It's great to have you all popping by here!
The lists of friends just keeps growing and growing....... and I love it! Now I won't be mentioning any N-A-M-E-S here...... cuz I gotta live with these people and I also love them to death.....but there ARE friends and loved ones right here in Edmonton who I know visit me here too ~ but you just don't see their names on here. Honest peeps, I really DO have friends here too!! One or two........lol There's that saying ~~~ " I think I'll throw a party and invite ALL my friend." Just kidding, I've a lot of wonderful connections here, they must just all be real shy.
Besides, just how many people can you pin in one spot on a guestmap??? (is that a trick question, Jude?)
Well it only snowed here for the one day, on Sunday. And today it was warmer and it's all melting away again. Doesn't seem to know what it wants to do. This year I really missed all the autumn colours being around for awhile. It dumped on us when the leaves were still all gorgeous, and ON the trees still, and we haven't had much of an autumn since then. Don't get me wrong, like I've said before, I love the winter here too. I adore the changes of season, I mean, REAL changes, not just a drop in temperature. We get WINTER. And summer. And spring. And autumn...... well, usually anyway. And I can't imagine living somewhere where it's warm and snow-less all year round. I couldn't even bear going somewhere tropical for Christmas....... I'd miss the trip altogether if I had to do a Christmas without snow! (sorry Danni ~ but you know what I mean, lol. I know in Australia, the Yuletide season comes in your summer months.)
I'm trying real hard to ignore the topic of my dreaded root canal this Thursday.
Maybe if I don't think about it, it'll just happen while I'm sleeping or something. I'll let ya know after the deed if I got my brains drilled by accident.....oh it's a molar on the BOTTOM of my mouth....heh heh. Well, he better have a good aim then!
Wouldn't you think dentists would have the fewest friends and the most hate-mail??? I mean, who's gonna LIKE them, really? Maybe they should all wear those black rimmed glasses with the attached big noses and mustaches. That way nobody will every recognize them at a party and want to hurt them. You know, for all the times they had to go for a "drill and drool". Must be a lonely life......
Oh well, I guess I should try to get to sleep earlier tonight. Who knows, maybe the planets will all re-align or whatever it is they do tonight, and Edmonton will be a "kindler, more gentler" city tomorrow morning......lol. I wish you all a rejuvinating rest tonight, and may you all dance with the Angels!
Peace be yours, and Goodnight!!
