Sunday morning musings

Another grey, dreary, overcast morning in Massachusetts, and I am up much too early for the weekend. I was awake at seven, after having a bizarre but entertaining dream that was definitely influenced by Charles de Lint's Widdershins, which I finished reading last night. My subconscious cracks me up sometimes.

I spent much of yesterday in a sort of twilight zone, drifting through the day in a fog. I managed to take a nap, during which I had more strange dreams. There are a ton of things I wanted to get done, but I couldn't get myself motivated. Burnout, I suppose, and stress as well. I only managed to get out of the house because I was out of Tums, and my tummy has been roiling from various anxieties all week. I broke down and bought some Sam-e, which I have been out of for a couple of weeks; my knees have been creaky and painful, and it also helps with mood (somewhat like St. John's Wort), which can't hurt. The CVS brand was buy one, get one 50% off, and I had a coupon for $5, so it wasn't as bad as usual. It really does help, which I couldn't say for glucosamine/chondroiton/MSM (which I take anyway, because my mom sent me some).

There's a bluejay out back, scolding someone for being in its territory. My dad got divebombed by a jay once, when he got too close to her nest. Drew blood and everything! He admitted that she was perfectly justified, since he was trying to look in the nest. I always think of him when I hear a jay screaming at something. ;)

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is on TV tonight. I just ordered it from Amazon (I had a gift certificate, and was feeling in need of a present to myself). I'll probably watch it tonight, anyway. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, pirates-- what's not to love? I feel no need to watch the Emmys. Same old crap wins every year.

I went over to Cymbri & Rob's this afternoon; they were giving away stuff before their move, and I picked up some nice copper pots, a couple of books, and a couple of future Yule/Xmas gifts. It's been raining since this morning, so it was good to have an excuse to get out of the house. I might not have left otherwise.

windswept gave me a craving for corn bread, and since I had a box of the Jiffy mix sitting around waiting to be used, I made some. I tossed in some dill weed. It just came out of the oven, all golden and inviting. Warm corn bread with (fake) butter! Yum. Now to find something to go with it!
