I came here to post something and this made my mind go blank. Thanks a lot, man. I don't know whether I'm coming or going now.
What kind of person has both a dinosaur costume and a stripper pole?
Pizza party went well. Girlfriend seems nice. Fit in well with the band, so that’s good.
Dear Swift,
I'd love to accept your invitation to join the Mac side.....could you loan me a few bucks to help me along?
Your Friend,
Sunny
Of course. SwiftDog’s are always happy to lend a paw. I’ll even discount the Vig seeing as your a friend and all
That’s good. You don’t want a Yoko situation. Been down that road with one of my own bands. Not fun.
....some questions are best walked away from....
Uh yeah, that's probably a little closer to me. A bit Spazzy, a bit jurassic. Mouth gaping open, something brown dragging the floor. Yep. I'm all about the attractive allure.
Just came back from a Brody Dog walk. As we were coming down the path that runs along the river and connects the park to the beach, we heard a commotion and saw a whole gaggle of geese go running into the river. The reason? A sneaky coyote! It took off when I shined the flashlight over by the water to see what the commotion was. It was a big one too. Slightly smaller than the Brodster.
Be careful. I have them trekking through my land almost nightly.
Tomorrow (Saturday) I have a bunch of stuff to do. Have an appointment in the morning to have the blood work for my annual physical done. Need to stop by Home Depot to get some clips and Velcro for the Christmas lights I need to put up at SwiftMom’s. Need to put up the Christmas lights. Need to do grocery shopping and finish the laundry. Gotta pick up around SwiftDog Manor. Finally, going to a midnight screening of The Fog. Adrienne Barbeau will be attending the screening to accept an award from the theater. Pretty Cool!
I hear you. They are getting bolder. First one I’ve seen in SwiftMom’s neighborhood in a while.
There are foxes that live in the marsh as well. We see them all the time.
Foxes here too.
Thanks for thinking of me! I started attending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on October 30 to see if I could improve my outlook any before succumbing to inevitable and inexorable doom, driving to the only place on this side of the state where it is available although it is 71 miles away. On November 22 I made it only about 15 miles and was seized with such terrible pain I had to pull the car over, call my doctor sister, and finally drive to a medical clinic for a test. I felt better after a round of antibiotics, but lingered a week in suspense, more than half sure I was dying and wondering of what. During this week I was in pajamas the whole time which is not unheard-of but extremely unusual. Then my doctor's office called saying the tests were inconclusive and I had to take more, which I did this morning. My appointment with my doctor is not until Monday morning, and until we talk it over I won't know whether I am all right to drive, and if I am not, find out what is wrong and what is to be done about it. Right now I have an excused medical absence from CBT and I don't know whether this is some good force trying to remove me from something which would be bad for me, or an evil force trying to prevent something which would be good for me, or just how the cookie crumbles.
My doctor sister says I spend too much time seeking out the approval of others, this is not grown-up life, and all would be better if I did not do this. I think I would be better if I did not NEED to do this, but what they say about if wishes were horses and all that. I have worked myself into a very bad position. For at least 45 years I have known a person is not supposed to rest contented or even feel very pleased about anything until they fulfill all their ambitions, and if they fail or bail, whether they are happy or unhappy, they are a lowdown rotten copout quitting quitter. Nothing has worked out for me and I still wish I could be happy. Looking for approval from others is very bad. Right off the top of my head I can name half a dozen times when it resulted in extremely uncomfortable situations...but I don't know whether that means it would be better to try and fail, or not to try. This is very troubling. In the case of Ray Bradbury, it worked even when it failed, but I am afraid I will never earn approval again, because no one is like him and I can't do anything well enough even to earn my own approval.
I am proud of you, Cori. I think this inner dialogue you are having with yourself is healthy and I hope it leads to an epiphany and good health. I've all ready told you that you are too hard on yourself so I won't lecture you (in your fragile state I think that's part of the problem: too many opinions) but I would love to see you forgive yourself a little more. For every negative thought you entertain just know that on this board there are ten positive thoughts to challenge it. Keep going.

I pick it up this afternoon......hope it turns out well.
