Thursday Thoughts (#127/365)
Posted by: Devyl Gyrl1) I am finally getting around to re-entering names/addresses/birthdays/phone numbers in my new phone. If you have been in my phone before and want to ensure you are again, or if you would like to be in text/phone contact with me … text me, IM me, send me a private message via Twitter/Plurk/Facebook/Whatever, or email me and give me your mobile or home phone numbers (specify which one you are giving me). Alternatively, leave me a comment asking me to email you, and I can send my number to you. Thanks!
3) May is a big birthday month for my family too: My BIL’s birthday was the 4th. One of my Uncles has a birthday on the 4th, as well. Two of my Uncles were born on the 5th, several years apart. Crazy!
4) Tween is doing fantastic with softball, improving every game. I am kind of impressed with her. I am absolutely thrilled for her!
5) Several of my friends are having a rough time at work, for various reasons. I wish you all a happier, healthier, more productive work environment. Having to work in a place that makes you unhappy every single day is an awful way to spend nearly 40% of your life. xoxo
6) One of my friends recently had to fix her car AGAIN - marking the second time this year she has had to spend over $1500 on her vehicle. Without the vehicle she cannot get to work, so for her I hope the mechanics have completed the job properly & that the car gods do not pick on her anymore. I <3 you, sweetheart.
7) Love, relationships, and marriages across the nation are suffering from the financial crises brought on by the economic downturns we have been experiencing for the last several months. Otherwise strong relationships are put to the test because the participating parties are dealing with undue stress. All of you, please, remember what truly matters in life and try to focus on the good more than the bad. I understand it is ugly out there … just think about where you want to be, and who you want to be with, when things start improving.
For all of my friends who I have not been in proper contact with over the last year … please forgive me. I am trying to do things right and reach out to each of you individually … I am finding it hard, since I am not in a good place and it is incredibly hard having to tell you all separately how rough life is at the moment. I prefer to touch base when I have happy news. 
9) Thank you to those of you who have been offering me a few hours’ worth of work researching, typing, and proofreading. I have enjoyed it, and it is helping me get by now that my unemployment has run out. I am still looking for work, but I am also allowing myself to work from home as long as it continues to benefit, because I am enjoying being able to go to Tween’s games and practices and choral performances. This time with her is priceless!
10) Thank you my darling Twitterhubby for introducing me to the singer Shannon Curtis. I was browsing some of her songs, and ran across one that was especially meaningful today. The song is called “Rainy Day” (click to listen) and the lyrics are below. P has been on my mind lately, in and out of my dreams … but we’re not really in touch properly. A gyrl can dream … even when she knows the dream is not likely to come true, and is probably not even plausible. (And he sent me a text the other day with this picture of orchids - and nothing else. Orchids, as all of my friends know, are my favorites.)
when love brings to the table
An offering, like when you came
I was willing, but unable
I kept you around in my mind if by occasion
this current affair ran dry
It sure enough left me high
And so I’ve been
Saving your love for
Been saving your love for
Been saving your love for a rainy day
and now that we’re
in for a downpour
There’s one thing I’m hoping for:
The sky will keep raining for days and days
So tell me you’ll come over
And we’ll hide out under cover
Drinking all the sweet things
made for rainy day lovers
If waiting can kill you, then death please pass me over
It’s thunder and lightning time
I ain’t gonna miss this ride
Because I’ve been
Saving your love for
Been saving your love for
Been saving your love for a rainy day
and now that we’re
in for a downpour
There’s one thing I’m hoping for:
The sky will keep raining for days and days
It’s thunder and lightning
and loving like dying
we’re under the sky
and the storms are colliding
oh yeah
And I’ve been
Saving your love for
Been saving your love for
Been saving your love for a rainy day
and now that we’re
in for a downpour
There’s one thing I’m hoping for:
The sky will keep raining for days and days
