Something to Ponder

Recently I was asked what impresses me. I think for most women the answer to this question is one and the same… Someone who knows what he wants and is successful. Here’s my problem with this, success, wealth and knowing what you want is something that comes naturally as you grow and your life evolves. Think about it, when you’re a college student you are far from being successful and wealthy, so your score on the impression scale can’t be that high. I think ladies need to stop looking for a man who impresses them and look for a man who instead of trying to gain your approval is simply trying to be the best version of himself. And if said lady isn’t impressed by that, well then you guys don’t belong together. Simple as that.

By seeking a man who is continually trying to be the best version of himself that will make the female want to constantly improve herself, which no one is perfect, so there’s no real harm in improving yourself. Ladies keep in mind the perfect house, the perfect career and the bank account with a decent size savings is all things that will eventually come if you truly want those things. If you want something bad enough you’ll work to get those things, but someone’s personality and their core values will never change, so choose who you date carefully.

Don’t discredit the not so good-looking guy with the mediocre job there may be something below the surface that you haven’t seen.

Happy Dating! :-)

1. I’m thankful for the ham… that’s right I said it! I love HAM! If it wasn’t for ham I’d be forced to eat that cotton tasting turkey every year. I don’t care what color it is unless its dripping of gravy it all tastes the same.

2. I’m thankful for the people that hate cranberry sauce… more for me.

3. I’m thankful for the vino, without it I may never get thru the holidays. Special shout out to the $2,000.00 bottle that was supposed to be saved for my wedding… whoops. To quote my parents “we have to open it before it turns to vinegar and well your marriage ship as sailed.” Thanks.

4. I’m thankful for dessert buffet. One of the few times out of the year that I can eat multiple desserts without feeling too guilty.

5. I’m thankful for my crazy, loud and obnoxious family… for making me feel normal because… well compared to this group of weirdos… I am.

6. I’m thankful for all that serve in the military. You’re really a two for the price of one. 1. You make for great eye candy in a uniform. 2. Without your bravery we would be stuffing our faces until we explode.

7. I’m thankful for my mental friends. The ones that stuck by me through it all. You love me through every period of my life the good, the bad and the unexplainable. I love you.

8. I’m thankful for the readers. This was a unrealized dream and here we are almost 2 years later and I’m still writing and you’re still reading… truly thank you.

9. I’m thankful for my past. Thanks for creating the present and help define the future. It may have hurt at times, but it was worth every second.

10. I’m thankful for the love in my life. I’m thankful for my family, friends, fellow bloggers, readers and most of all my kids. Love you all!

Have blessed Thanksgiving.

<3 Raquel

I Now Pronounce Me Done and Over You

I knew the day was coming. I was never quite sure when it was coming, but it was coming. It was like the teeth cleaning you postponed a million times, but you know one day you’ll be forced to face the facts and go in  and get it over with. When I heard the news that it was official and that one of the men of my past had indeed taken the plunge, the news stopped me dead in my tracks. Once the picture message came through and I saw him there sitting next to her beaming and the normally plain jane girl was a gorgeous bride, I knew instantly that there was nothing about  sitting him in a sparkling white satin gown that I wanted. Isn’t that funny, the one thing I was dreading the most was the one thing that once it happened I knew for sure I never wanted. Not even wrapped in a Tiffany bow did it look appetizing to me. Day One, the day the marriage is at its best and I still didn’t like what I saw.

Over the years we’ve both grown and our lives have evolved and changed, but this man was just not for me. Never was. Then I began to wonder why on earth did I give our connection far more credit then it deserved? I think it boiled down to this… after our break up his life went to shit for a while and mine became this adventure of a lifetime and then just when the whirlwind of my quest to find myself was dying down that’s where my life started falling apart and his soared. It was my own jealousy that was fueling this illusion that the grass was greener 8 years ago when in all reality it was never green. And then there’s her. She’s your everyday gal, with brains, from a good family and I’m… well me. I’m a mess. I have one “divorce” under my belt, a single mom and I’m absolutely unpredictable. Basically a beautiful mess. A collection of broken relationships, unfulfilled dreams and unrealized potential. No wonder it never worked out. And just when I was beating myself to the lowest level, my friend intervenes and says “You know he’ll never forget you and you’re worth every challenge.”

And just like that my stock rose. And it wasn’t because that a man validated what another man couldn’t, but because my friend had reminded me that I am a chaotic mess and that’s a great thing. I’d rather be flawed and loved for exactly who I am then to mourn a relationship that was built on the fake perfect me.

After all that there was only one thing left to do… I prayed. I prayed that he has the happiest life a man could possibly have. I prayed that their marriage would forever be blessed and then I, Raquel A. Serna, by the power invested in me pronounced myself done and over you.

The Mixed Signal All Men Send

Most of my blogs seem to side with the guys. When it comes to relationships women just tend to get too emotional and when you’re emotional you tend to stupid things. With guys everything is simple. But here’s an example of an improvement that men could honestly use. I think every girl has heard this from a guy.

“We just want a girl who knows what she wants and would just be straight up with me.”

Now think of this situation. A girl meets a guy. They become friends. The guy treats her like a perfect gentleman. There may be a sexual reference once, but nothing significant. The guy gets the courage to ask the girl out. Girl says “I’m seeing someone.”

What does the guy do???

He freaks out. The man was just rejected and by golly he will have the girl know that not only will he not be embarrassed in public by being seen with her, but she was never worthy of  attention and the only reason he noticed her was he was hoping to get into her pants.

Within the past two weeks this exact scenario has happened to me three times. Uh ok am I dumb or is that a whole lot of mixed signals??? Would you rather take the girl a couple of dates and really invest some time before she tells you? Perhaps it would be better to see her out and about hand in hand with the guy she’s seeing? Or maybe you’d rather see the other dude’s boxers on the floor of her bedroom after you get your complimentary hanky panky?

I don’t know what guys are expecting, you wanted a straight up kind of girl… you got her now buck up and take it like a man. Be a gentleman, wish her well and let her go. Trust me this approach will make you look like the nice guy that got away and it will create a question rather than being the jerk. If this relationship doesn’t work out then she’ll look for a fall back and that fall back will 99.9% be  someone that’s familiar and comforting rather than a stranger.

So I’m begging you rejected guys of America… take the high road you’ll thank me in the end.

Greetings From the House of Sick People

Until today I thought for sure I was a goner. I truly believed that I was destined to die amongst a heap of booger rags with only the growing phlegm  in my chest to remind me that I was not fusing into the couch but actually a person… a live person for the time being. While making the final arrangements, picking who inherits what (a task more challenging than you’d think just think of your  journal and or browser history on your laptop…. yikes) , I decided to buck up and catch up on some reading.

I like reading fellow bloggers especially the ones that show me some love. There’s a few that have personally asked for my opinion on their material… like I’m an expert. Lol. In the end we all write for you. We write for one reason or another, but we always think of the reader and how our words will impact their lives. One blogger who’s gaining a lot of popularity asked me to review his work and critique it. His blog is an inspirational, motivational blog. For the record I hate anything inspirational speaking or writing. I figure that if you’d like to do something you’d get off your ass and do it yourself. No one should have to encourage you, it must first come from within yourself.

A big bulk of his posts are these motivational posters that are somehow linked and mixed with his own words of encouragement. His writing has developed as something that can relate to anyone and that’s his niche. My only critique was that he may want to pour more of himself into his own blog. Perhaps I’m biased because that’s how I write, but hey I happen to think flaws, insecurities and plain fuck-ups are relatable and help a reader to feel like they’re not alone. Also, I wanted to know more about the cute blogger that so happens to not be so far away. Again I’m not looking for a man, but can’t hurt right? I chose my words wisely after all the blogger is a handsome little devil not that I’m looking, but hey can’t hurt to be nice to the pretty boy.

The following day while on my sick-bed I received an email that he has written something new. Immediately I began to read it and boy was I in for a treat. This blog was a little personal. It was all about a “reader” that wanted him to change his entire writing style to be more sad and depressing. And then his followers began to weigh in… what a joy to read. They called this “reader” crazy for wanting him to change his style. Did someone all slip them the same kool-aid??? If you recall, all I suggested was that he put more of himself into his blog. Things he struggles with. His fears. His shortcomings. But no my words were twisted and taken out of context and now I’m the evil lady that wanted the Golden Boy of inspirational writing to quit his ways of posting Pinterest posters and adding his own commentary for something far more intimate. How dare I?

Had I had the man in front of me and the strength I’d probably throw some vapor rub and the box of used kleenex at him. He knew that I didn’t mean it in that way, but no too late my words were already in cyberspace misconstrued. He used my words, twisted them around and used the new concoction to create sympathy. Well played dude. Well played. This morning I received an email from said blogger like things were hunky dory… yes because I didn’t read the blog about me.

Ah, the joys of your words being taken out of context and used against you. Germ infested and now a killer of writing styles… I’m on a roll.

The Dreaded Wait

01 Nov 2012 1 Comment

by sernaraquel in Dating Tags: , ,

I decided to play catch up with a girl friend of mine. She had been doing the online dating thing for a little bit. She’s had some luck, but mostly just gentlemen that aren’t for her. She stopped doing it for a while to explore other options and when that seem to go no where she went back to online dating. There still men on the site that she was interested, but for one reason or another a in person meeting never did occur and so she decided to break my cardinal rule and message the one she liked the most. He was responsive and they seem to pick up where they left off. He did ask one question that stuck with her… he said ‘do you really give up on people so quickly?’

To a female that’s the ultimate catch 22. If you pursue a man then you begin to meander thru stalker territory and permanently labeled as clingy. Trust me that label doesn’t flatter anyone and once the damage is done there’s no undoing of it. It’s rare. The only place that actually happens is in a Hollywood script. I figure that a relationship whether a romantic one or a simple platonic relationship is like investing money. You wouldn’t invest your hard-earned cash into something that is sure to go bankrupt or showing signs of little or no return, so don’t do that in your dating life. This girl has clearly made an effort if he doesn’t return the effort then this is a one-sided relationship give up now before you’re fully invested.

Most women will say there’s other factors involved. He could be out-of-town, his phone could be broken,  etc. Thats all a way for you to rationalize the 10 texts in an hour. And here’s why you give up so easily, as a woman in her mid twenties this is the best time of your life. Do you really want to wait for a man to acknowledge you? Your self-worth is not wrapped up in any man’s nod of approval.

And for all of you guys out there… here’s why females get emotional and make the mistake of leaving that angry text. She has already envisioned how well your first date would go. She’s gone to 3 different stores to find the perfect outfit. An outfit that doesn’t say I’m a virgin, but shines a light on the goods. Then she goes home, tries on the outfit again… ends up not liking it, throws it on the floor and picks something else out of her closet. Then she goes and gives herself a wax, not that you’re going to get lucky, but she wants to be ready in case you call and things get a little steamy. So she literally pours hot wax all over her legs and on her lady parts and rips the hair out. After that she takes a shower. Dries, curls and flat irons her hair. Next is make up. This isn’t even factoring in exercise and diet choices to make sure her body is stellar compared to the other females out there.  The woman looks stunning only for you to not call, cancel, reschedule, whatever the case may be. By this time she’s furious. Who would’ve been? The woman has made an effort. She expressed concern when you were sick or just having a bad day. She wished you a good morning in other words you were the first person she thought of when she woke up that morning and you don’t bother. Here’s a hint let her off the hook. If she sends you an angry message, well at least you were honest. Honesty is a lot better than making her go thru all of that only for you knowing that you’re never going to ask her out.

So back to the question, yes you do give up that easily. Like in my previous dating tip, you never chase anyone that isn’t willing to chase you.  If online dating has taught us anything its this… there are plenty of fish in the sea. True, half of the fish are deranged, perverts, former felons and/or just plain crazy, but you know how the saying goes, you have to message, block, and get a restraining order on a few frogs before you get a prince.

Remember: You are brave enough to put yourself out there, you are loving enough to want to incorporate this person into your world, you are smart enough to know when to walk away and you have respect for yourself to wait for something that you truly deserve.

Happy Dating! :-)

Halloween-The Aftermath

01 Nov 2012 Leave a Comment

by sernaraquel in Life Tags:

Smashed pumpkins in the middle of the street and candy wrappers in the storm drains are all that remains of this years Halloween. I did my parental duty and dressed my kids up. I did it all the make up, bought the costume they HAD to have and walked my ass a half mile to pimp my kids out for the Snickers bars. Meanwhile all I wanted to do was watch the scary movies, eat the extra bag of Halloween candy I bought myself, and pass out from my sugar high. Of course, that didn’t happen. I instead volunteered myself (I still don’t know how that happened) to take other kids Trick or Treating and walked to as many houses as possible before it started raining.

As we were talking to the strangers we only talk to once a year, I got to thinking how Halloween has evolved over the years. When I was a kid, we were turn lose at the age of 8 as long as we followed the “buddy system”. My cousin and I walked to every house in a five-mile radius to make sure our pillowcases were as full as possible. We didn’t wear any slutty costumes. We’d rebel by not wearing our jackets and tying it around our waists. That was the cool thing back then. I don’t know why. But we had costumes. I was always a princess… duh. When we couldn’t walk anymore we’d have to trek back. There was no cell phone, no parent around the corner in a car to pick us up, no parent pulling a wagon. We’d go home with rosy cheeks and a face and hands freezing cold. Then we’d dump out our candy to have our Dad’s “inspect” it. In hindsight this was only intended to give them first dibs on the good stuff. Our Dads would sit with us as we watched the scariest movies “The Shining”, “Poltergeist”, etc and when they felt like we had enough sugar to create 5 new cavities, they’d take the candy away. Let me say this again… they took AWAY the candy. Soon after we drifted off into a slumber filled with Halloween dreams and candy wishes.

Leading up to the trick or treating this year I watched the Halloween daytime shows. Barbara Walters made a remark that Halloween that contributes to children’s obesity. I call BS, as did the other ladies on The View. You as a parent have the opportunity and the obligation to control the sugar consumption. Don’t blame a holiday for the a lifetime worth of bad eating choices. Personally, I think that Ms. Walters just hates leaving her Laz-y Boy to answer the door for some punk ass teenagers who don’t bother to make a costume, but still demand candy. (Like Barbara Walters has punks in her hood… lol)

I saw so many kids last night without costumes still looking for handouts. The girls with costumes the majority of them had something that I would be ashamed to be seen in front of my parents in. I saw a girl with a tutu that barely covered her ooh ha and didn’t cover her back-end at all. When has this holiday been the girl’s holiday to scream for attention by being as scandalous as possible? There was a little girl last night no older than 10 in a dress and shoes that I’d go clubbing in. Her Mom was right there walking with her. I don’t believe this little girl has a job already, so that means her parents bought that outfit for her. And if you happen to check the Megan’s Law website the likelihood that you are near or do receive candy from someone who has been convicted of sexual abuse is VERY likely. WHY ON EARTH would you put your kid as bait like that? Cover the damn kid up. A kid unable to spell pedophile should not HAVE to feel “sexy” on Halloween. Again cover up! On another note every kid I saw had an adult with them unless the kids were around high school age. Which is great. Times aren’t vastly different from when I was a kid. In efforts to make Halloween safer for kids a lot of churches are hosting Safe Halloween, which is great. It’s incredible that so many people can come together and volunteer their time to ensure that these everyone’s bratty kids have a fun, safe, secure place to go and don’t get into any trouble.

All in all this Halloween was a success. One filled with ghosts, ghouls, goblins and too much candy.

Hope you all had a great one! <3

A Women’s Guide to the 2012 World Series

27 Oct 2012 2 Comments

by sernaraquel in Life Tags: , , , , ,

If you’ve read this blog for any
period of time you’d know that I am a local of the San Francisco Bay Area. Right now, every person that resides in and near the City by the Bay is beside themselves with pride for our San Francisco Giants. We are up 2 games in the best out of 7 in the 2012 World Series duel between the San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers. First game was a shut out game. The Giants dominated the Tigers. Mr. Pablo Sandoval hit 3 home runs in one game. All that to sink in a bit… the man HIT 3 HOME RUNS in ONE GAME! Fourth person in history to ever do that. While watching these games I realized that while I may be transfixed in this World Series whirlwind other females out there may not. So this is my female guide to the 2012 World Series. You know, packed with stuff that the females out there want to know and may also score you some points with the baseball junkie in your life.

First thing I noticed is the obvious handsome genes that seem to swim in the Tiger’s pitching line up. Here’s the stats:

Justin Verlander 6’5  29 years old Lives in FL

Info: The man is a showstopper , hr already has the 3rd highest strike out total by a Tigers pitcher during a post season game and has won the AL Cy Young and MVP awards. He is said to be virtually unhittable. That’s debatable since Pablo hit 2 home runs off of him already. The man is a philanthropist and has been known to sponsor families and makes visits to pediatric hospitals. AAAAWWWW! Ok I know you ladies want to know if he’s married… well he’s not, but he has been linked to a cute blondie… Kate Upton. Sorry Ladies.

Doug Fister 6’8 28 years old Merced, CA

Info: The man automatically loses some points in my book because the Giants offered him a contract and he turned them down. Booo! He started this season as a Mariner, however was traded on July 30th. His career high is 13 strikeouts on September 5th against Cleveland. It is unknown whether or not he is married or single.

Drew Smyly  6’3   23 years old     Lives in AR

Info: This awesome leftie rookie is fresh from the Minor Leagues, this guy is one to keep your eye on. The man has been connected to Erin Blatt… not sure if that’s still hot and ongoing.

Buster Posey 6’1  25 years old    Lives in GA

Info: Other than looking like a Napoleon Dynamite extra, this man is an amazing ball player.  The play making catcher was awarded the Golden Glove. He’s a strong hitter and one of the Giants’ best defensive players ever. Yes, he is married sorry ladies.

Tim Lincecum 5’11 28 years old     Lives in WA

Info: The man is nicknamed “The Freak.” His freakish constancy is steadfast to become legendary. The man is wild and out of control. yet somehow still gets the strike. When the Giants won the 2010 World Series he was seen with a girlfriend, however it is rumored that they are no longer an item.

Pablo Sandoval 5’11   26 years old   Lives in Venezuela

Info: Nicknamed “Panda” Who knew that a panda bears were so good in baseball. Coming off of an injury Pablo it seems like nothing can slow this man down. The man is SF’s best defensive player. As previously mentioned the man hit 3 home runs in one game. He is also been recognized for his work in the San Francisco community. He is single and has one very proud daughter.

A special thank you to Pablo Sandoval for making my favorite moment of the World Series thus far. It was the fifth inning and with the crack of the bat, the ball was launched into the air creating home run # 2 of the evening. However, the best part was that his “virtually unhittable” pitcher could only mouth “wow” as he watched the home run soar above his head. Sorry Mr. Verlander, but as a Giants fan and a Bay Area Gal that was an awesome moment. In case you missed it… watch it for yourself.

 

So there you have it ladies. A quick look at the hottest and noteworthy guys duking it out for the top spot at this 2012 World Series.

Go Giants!!!!

The Things That Annoy Me Today

23 Oct 2012 Leave a Comment

by sernaraquel in Life Tags:

1. The ladies that wear those stupid nude or brown leggings. Yes, I had to do a double take this morning at my local Starbucks to make sure that the lady ordering her latte had pants on. Since she was an ethnic woman it was hard to tell at first. And while I’m on the subject of leggings… if you must wear them… make sure to take a look at the mirror before you leave the house. NO ONE wants to see your underwear through your less then paper thin leggings.

2. All fashion statements are not created equal, so please learn to dress your own individual body in a way that flatters you. If we, the people around you, can see your cottage cheese thighs or the dimples in your ass… PLEASE SKIP the skin tight tights! Skinny jeans only look good on a scrawny white punked out boy anyone else in my opinion looks like a poser in them. I don’t like seeing the Pillsbury Doughboy squeeze into jeans smaller then mine and watch him pop open like a can of biscuits. And speaking of men’s fashion… just because the Jersey Shore boys wear bright clothes doesn’t mean you have to. I don’t want to be seen with a guy that is dressed in the color of the highlighter in my desk. Remember its always sunny in Doucheville. Maybe thats why they always wear sunglasses…?

3 . The people that sit in coffeehouses with their headphones on loud enough so that I can their stupid hip hop music. Ok…. I don’t know if they didn’t get the memo or read the instructions when they got them, but headphones are meant to be individual speakers i.e for one person. As in I should NOT be able to hear Rihanna singing about umbrellas. Ella. Eh. Eh. And if you must listen to your music that loud then shall I suggest a visit to your doctor because you obviously are hard of hearing.

4 . The barista that the local Starbucks for making me feel like I was about to start the day exactly the way I want to with a cup of frothy goodness just the way I like it and a good book instead I get sorry the latte machine is broken. I came to Starbucks I want coffee! I need coffee! This isn’t supposed to happen at Starbucks the mecca of coffee!
5 . And while I’m ranting about Starbucks and coffee… I love the people that demand the difficult coffee. The skinny, no whip, heated to 165 degrees pumpkin spice latte. Do you really get out the thermometer to make sure that its exactly 165? What if its only 163? Do you make them start over again? And do you honestly think that the girl behind the counter barely making over minimium wage is going to care if the which out the usual whole milk for the skim? Not likely. You came to have a fat packed latte… not a protein shake, suck it up and drink it!

6 . The people that sit on their ass at get the world handed to them meanwhile there’s someone out there trying their damnest and getting no where.

7. The people that drive 30 mph under the speed limit when it rains. I know its the beginning of the raining season, but that doesn’t mean you have to drive like a senial old lady that can barely see over the steering wheel. Shift to D and go! D for Drive… get it? If you must drive that slow may I suggest not being on the road when I am? Or maybe just add a new lawn ornament to your yard and park the damn thing.

8. The mothers of small boys that are clearly in the learning to go potty like a big boy stage and hasn’t got the hang of aiming yet. Ok as a mom of a boy I understand, however as a fellow female that also must use the bathroom facilities… there’s no excuses. Dog people carry around baggies for their dog’s shit, kid people should carry around something for their kid’s accidents. Hell the stall already provides paper of some sort to aid in this process. It can’t be that hard.

9. The ladies that use hover technique. If you’re smart enough to know that a public toilet seat contains a obscene amount of germs and you’re tall enough to be able to hover over the big girl potty then learn how to aim. Its a big target. The female parts don’t really move. Only thing that moves is your hips. If you can’t hold steady may I suggest sitting your ass down! No one likes having to piss like a race horse , throwing a seat cover on the toilet and sitting down and wait for the relief of finally urinating (that btw has to be one of the best feelings EVER, finally getting to take a piss after you’ve drank an insane amount of liquids) only to find that your rump is wet from some other hefer trying to use the hover technique to satisfy her own selfish needs without a care for anyone else.

10. Having to answer texts. 5 text conversations+ 1 recipent= 1 confused Raquel. If I mix up our conversation I apologize, but its not my fault. I have 4 people asking me the same thing. I forget who I tell what, my swype texting sucks and Droid’s voice to text thinks I want tacos instead saying what I actually want to say. And so instead of driving I’m checking my stupid phone to make sure the predictive text is right which its not and while I’m erasing and revising Droid’s statement about tacos I almost slam into a lady wearing flesh colored leggings driving slower then torteise with amnesia.

Have a great day and don’t annoy me! :-)

The Girl with Too Many Thoughts

The past 24 hours have been a muddle of joyous events and others that weigh heavy on the heart. First and for most the SF GIANTS WON!!!! We are going to the World Series!!!!! It’s an amazing time to be in the Bay Area. Its Orange October Baby! Back in 2010 when the Giants were in the World Series the whole Bay Area turned orange and black. It looked like we were celebrating Halloween early. It was a great time and we’re gearing up for another round. I live in the East Bay Area and its everywhere. Even the Oakland A’s fans have rallied to support our team. I will say this the Giants came to win and they didn’t let up the entire time. The Cards put up a good fight at first, but the Giants just wanted it more. If you missed it the final score was 9-0. A shut out. I waiting to see Timmy come out, but I guess he’s going to be saved for tomorrow when they take on the Tigers. Let’s Go Giants! I’ll probably be watching Buster and Timmy at McCovey’s (named after Willie McCovey) in Pleasant Hill. If you’re in the Bay and don’t know what I’m talking about… well that is a sin. It is a restaurant and bar that is devoted to all things Giants. Go check it out! You’ll thank me. If you’re a female in the Bay Area suggesting this place will score you some points. Just don’t expect to get much conversation out of him because there’s tv’s no matter where you look. Every game on that’s being played at that time is on. Expect him to mumble a quick response while peeking over your shoulder at the score, but its worth going to. The food is good, drinks are awesome, the atmosphere is phenomenal and the service is always wonderful.

 

I went to bed last night on cloud 9. Riding my Giants victory all the way only to wake up to a family member being rushed to the hospital this morning. There still hasn’t been a word on the condition of the family member, however I know this she is too important to this family to have anything happen to her. I woke up this morning with an agenda, a schedule to follow and a series of things that need to happen today and now all of that seems irrelevant. It really hasn’t soaked in yet that there is a possibility this person is teetering on the life or death line. Right now all I feel is denial. There is no way she could be seriously hurt. She’ll snap out of it. All the while my mind is wrestling with itself. Half of it says carry on like normal because A, B and C need to be done today, however my body and my mind aren’t communicating, so I’m running around all disoriented with no Northern Star to guide me.

Hopefully later today I can blog and say “Sikes! Everything is all good!” We shall see. Keep Calm and Pray On.
