Every once in a while it all makes some sense.

.

Though I do have real difficulties, I am allowed to see others who are far more troubled. There are various ways I see this. When I have felt bad about having a bit of a belly, I saw a show about the 1,000 pound man. I am, generally speaking, able to physically do anything anyone else can do and sometimes I can do far more. I can, generally, cook for myself, shop, take care of all my basic needs, and move around. That man could not even go to the bathroom! But there are other cases. I see disabled people who so poorly manage any moneys or alms they receive, or receive so little, that they live in squalor, and or on the streets, and do not eat and drink well, and further, they seem to fall into dark lives through being broken down or giving up. As well, as bad as I may have been before finding my way Home, I see others who have lived far worse. Though I parted from God, and I did indeed sin, my sins were more animal. I had many relationships, I fought a good deal, I was not necessarily trustworthy in peripheral manners, but I did not seek out evil for it’s own sake. The one I discuss came back Home as well. But I see many who will not end their ways. Considering all, I am very blessed.

I completed a few chores today. I will not list them, as they are quite minor. However, it is more than I have been able to do in over a week. I am setting up to do even more work tonight. Perhaps if I can nibble at the cracker, eventually my psyche can find a way to consume the whole thing. And then, begin a diet of simple task crackers that end up feeding my needs. My exhaustion is a horror, still. If I did not have a history, I would seek medical attention. It is as if I have a minor stroke, only the weakness is distributed to both sides of my body, therefore not quite literally crippling. Breathing is difficult, staying awake is difficult, moving around is tough. A few tasks completed is actually a big thing. I do not know if doing more will really help me get out of this. It cannot hurt though, and it might play a part in improving my health and capacity to do more. It is difficult to see anything clearly, though, at the moment.

My mother received her flowers today. I was not awake to receive any of her calls, but from the messages, I think she was very happy. I still think it is too funny how pleased women are with flowers and getting them on certain days! I cannot seem to please women in general, and generally. But if this is it, then so be it. I will probably call another woman on Mother’s Day. Though she no longer has contact with her children, she did give birth, and she loved as she could or understood. Oh, and I ought to keep that flower thing in mind. If a woman cries, all I know is it is either really good or really bad. This one, I think, is good. *grins*

Well, I should try to figure out what I am trying to figure out. And, once that is done, perhaps I ought to try and act on it. Pickled pork feet await as a treat for some successful work.

  1. The flowers weill be appreciated. I am odd in that I do not like getting flowers, though I love them in their natural state.

    Just something sad about watching them die and then throwing them out. But I know I'm the lone woman in that line of thought.

    Hug all that are close to you this day, you bring a smile to more people than perhaps you know.

  2. Yeah, you are pretty unique in that. I know one other woman who has an odd take, but she is split on the issue (I usually get her a pot of live flowers (which she promptly kills, or last I knew, from sincere care somehow)). And, she seems to hate to watch them die, too, as her partial reasoning. Though I do not understand, since they die either way. God loves her effort, he has to.

    If I wasn't paranoid before, I am now! I can just imagine legions of onlookers, examining my life, and perhaps with super sekret cameras to even watch me, and just *smiling away*. Doh! *laughs*

  3. "I cannot seem to please women in general, and generally."

    That's not just you mate, i find that you must never try to make a woman complete happy, she needs something to complain about, she's not happy if she has nothing to complain about.

    Enjoy the pickled pork feet.

  4. Ha, I think I may have cracked some of the code, MK. Don't tell anyone though! The deal is this, she needs to have some pain or drama, and she needs to share it (even if it could easily be fixed (I think this is where I could be way wrong in woman think), she likes having projects, problems, and difficulties to share and have ready for tomorrow (share meaning her mouth to your ear)).

    She just needs to know someone knows her strife, bravery, strengths, weaknesses, flaws, warts, and all... and will listen to them, and be there tomorrow anyway. Though it gets more complicated after that. (think, the first chess piece moves in a game only she knows, and the rules only she can change, and arbitrarily (especially when being coy).

    Then again, you pretty much said that. I just helped by muddying the waters, you are welcome! Oh well. And, I saved the pigs feet. Maybe after finishing some last cleaning in the morning, taking care of a call and a business visit, I will claim my red-gold chalice of briny protein. All hail the king (of the couch potatoes! (if under protest) Gackh!).
