CHANGE IN FLIGHT PLANS

.
I played hooky from class (hand therapy :/) last week to just take a break from it all and review the year. Seems I did get a lot accomplished by having the transformer replaced to keep us from having power surges, learn of Paros' potential problems via chicken jerky treats, and even though I now have fast internet...my hand isn't going to cooperate so no site up now. I can drop a couple of dot com names and maybe just keep a personal one until I have a new direction or see just what will this hand let me do :/ (some of me has a sick feeling but I try and nourish the optimistic side and view this as a new direction, door, or opportunity).

Ok. So I still have some other demons to chew up and spit out but I am keeping my eyes open for a move. The house may not be officially for sale right now but it's for sale lol. I will make sure I move next to good doctors and vets (nothing wrong with my silent bone doc at all but still haven't found a primary care physician nor had a complete physical :l). And the bathroom renno is slow but man what a difference!! Hit a lot of snags on the details like european cabinet hinges right now. All I know at this point is that I have to custom order them for a Face Frame Overly, 3/8 inset door :l  Whew. Who saw that one coming? They all know me and ask how I am now at the Home Depot or Lowe's store now lol. And well...I never knew they had 1 cent sales and was also greeted with a "Want to by this weber grill for $10?" Lol....I have a propane weber grill that was $500 I don't use because I prefer charcoal so use the turkey smoker when BBQing but a $250 electric grill for $10?!? Heck yeah! Clarence is my best friend! (oh...is that "Clearance"?!? We just call him 'Clarence' ;) (eyeing blowers and tillers now)

Nasa and Remembering Neil
Again...my hobby with photoshop has pulled me through. I've been playing around with space scene tutorials and found some new links (solarvoyager.com). Well...that was until I took a break and went to see what a real star field was like in NASA and it's Hubble Spacecraft and Space Telescope sites. Whoa! Soooo beautiful I spent a good while reading on the various forms of nebula and formation of new stars in different regions of space like the Carina Nebula (Mystic Mountain and Eagle's Nest...rendered in painter pictured here...are my favorites. Even over the butterfly nebula below :}). And watching the 'Universe' and 'Planets' shows explaining the energy field that start these cosmic events and formations ('creations') only makes me think of my NDE and how suspended in the energy of God...waiting to be evaluated, recycled, or sent back was like this. All that love, light, wisdom, energy, connections....how everything just changes form with time and space....how congruent.

But it was sad to here of Neil Armstrong passing. Watching him walk on the moon back in the 60's was when I felt the whole world still and unified for a moment in time....amazed at this event. Kind of like the twin towers but this was on a bigger and more positive scale. I was also glad to see a show on the Russians view of it all this week too. At the time we were both in space but our beating them to the moon...you could feel their disappointment. How I wish we could have all worked together. It was a giant leap for mankind...but being unified...well...that the ultimate goal but how many people know that the silent spell before he walked out that he was having communion? They weren't allowed to air that (thanks to the atheist movement parties back then :P). I guess I will always think of him reborn as a new star in the Eagle's Nest Nebula now.

All of my strange but congruent 'space oddities' converging this week also found us in Jim's favorite church (the baptist one). How I love the protestent churches because of the 'messages'  but no one will discuss or talk of them; including the pastors. I may as well go to mass where there is no message and more praying. At least the priests and nun will converse this matters and in discussing this with a muslim Sunday...he seems to agree that prayer and peace take presidence over singing and fiery sermons. Like the volatile birth of a new star...a new discovery lol?!?  I do like things shook up a bit every once in a while and although I can't sing....when there is a song in my heart...it means I am happy and like to roll with it ;). I guess I will always be in the wind when it comes to religion too.

So I have my itinerary for master bath renno duty as well as my Photoshop play (want to check out tuts plus, some in depth masking techniques at psdvault, and Psdeluxe. I think we will wait on planting the rye grass or removing the tree for now since we have new neighbors riding their dune buggies, 4 wheels, and go carts all over our front lawn. Jim says they must think it's a neighborhood park lol. I am more out to focus in on the surveillance camera to see which retriever is digging holes (they also have 2 goldens). I guess Wayne won't be the only one filling in holes around here lol :D (and ohhhh dear....I saw all 4 digging in Dianes gardens! She will probably going to give explosive births to a few new stars herself soon :l). They will get it. I think they will be rennovating their house along with us and I hope to help with some extra supplies. I first wanted their house but it did need more work and the property was larger here although I love the stone work, den, and basement aspects of that house. I am glad we have new neighbors and children's laughter here ;). (and as soon as I finished this....he comes in with photos of the front yard :l Mentions also about the cop cutting it too short :/ Oh dear).  We'll just let them know it's not a park and we actually pay to have it look nice ;)


As for missing out on summer with all this hand jive...we decided to change it to Christmas by going to the Caribbean again. It's warm there so we'll have our summer for a moment then. I will miss seeing the grandkids and son in law smiling...and I still laugh when people would ask me what happened to my hand. He'd reply for me "She was rebuilding a plane engine while in mid-flight". Lol. He knows me well. Play big while you can. We pass this way just once ;)

And we all change with time. Locations, vocations, ideas and views, relgions, interests, space etc. but Jim and I feel we are always in the wind, changes are inevitable, the bible is our moral compass, and home is where the heart is :}
