"I messed up"

Apparently those are the words of an air traffic controller in New York, after a plane collided with a firetruck.

Can you imagine how this person feels now? To know one mistake led to death, destruction?

Well, I don't have to imagine.

I know, because I made a mistake that caused the death of an elderly woman.

I was working in long term care, and I and another person were trying to lift the woman using a machine called a Hoyer lift when I made a mistake, she slipped off, and cracked her head on the base of the machine, and died.

Huggleland - the board game!

I had an idea for a board game called Huggleland.

In the game, the huggles have invited you and your friends to try and catch them in Huggleland, where everything is silly.

Dice, and pawn like figures to represent the players as they make their way around the board, with squares like "the exploding cream pie factory has exploded! lose 1 turn cleaning cream off of you!" or "Bad news, you slipped on a banana peal; Good news, you get roll again to see how far you can slide!"

sometimes, I think I like making things harder on myself

Okay so we got a notice a week ago about the owners bringing in another round of roach control, and since I was sick and mom had her arm in a cast, we kind of panicked, but then we got help from Mike and Carol's handyman and we were as done as we could be this morning when we thought they were coming.

Then I looked at the notice again, and realized they are coming on Thursday, not today.

I mean, at least we are ready, but we could have done without the stress, you know?

bad news about my mom's arm

got some bad news about my mom's arm today.

I phoned the hospital about getting her cast off, and was told we were supposed to have it looked at 2 weeks after she broke it, and either they forgot to call us or we missed the call.

So now, if there is damage in there, its been too long to do anything about it. and she has limited mobility in 2 of her fingers.

sighs, I feel like a complete failure in terms of looking after her.

Had the weirdest dream last night.

I was at some kind of award's ceremony, with a film I made up for an award, but I was actually hoping a friend's film would also get honored.

To my delight, we both won.

don't ask me what it means, folks . . .

getting used to finding some men attractive.

Blog About:

I was watching "I go insane" by Lindsey Buckingham and suddenly, I saw what Stevie Nix probably saw in him.

He's got this smoldering intensity I could see causing a girl to swoon.

There was a time when me seeing a man as attractive would have caused me to panic, but now, its just ... eh.

overcoming procrastination

For months, I have looked at a pile of items I needed to take to Goodwill, and found a reason not to deal with them.

Well, today, I found a reason to get rid of them - I am expecting a new bed on Friday.

I feel pretty good about accomplishing this, honestly.

I had to get a tooth removed today. which involved me being sedated.

Trouble is. what I am feeling is exactly the same ad how I felt after my "secessions" with the man who took my innocence. .. .

so you can guess how I am doing.

2 dreams !

Blog About:

So here are a couple of dreams for you all:

In the first dream, I seemed to be at a family reunion when I heard gunshots. I think I teleported, because the next thing I knew I was standing in front of a guy holding some kind of sniper style gun. I told him if he wanted to shoot somebody he could try shooting me, and when he did, the bullets sort of disappeared before touching me. Then I reached out and touched the gun, causing it to vanish as well, which made the gunman surrender.

the evolution of Games without Frontiers

Because my re-write of Games without Frontiers is almost finished, I wanted to share how this story evolved.

It started the first time I heard the song by Peter Gabriel which is apparently in reference to a reality show from Europe.

The song stuck with me, and eventually I started trying to find a story I could make from it.

The first attempt was set in World War Two, featuring a bunch of kids sent to the country to avoid the London Blitz.

But eventually I abandoned that idea, and the song kind of went into the background.

forget the two wolves idea

Author: 

you probably have heard the saying about having 2 wolves inside of you.

Well, I dont have wolves. I have about 12 variations of myself, all at different ages, and all of them have vastly different agendas to each other.

The fact that I am in any way functional with this going on inside me should get me some kind of appreciation . . .

so this morning, I pulled out my clothes and put them on my bed, and put on my socks.

A moment later, I am looking at the pile of clothes, trying to find my socks, apparently totally forgetting I had them on.

Eventually, I looked down at my feet, and realized I was wearing them.

Sometimes, my brain worries me ...

SCP Foundation Alert!

SPC Foundation Alert! SCP 7000, otherwise known as Huggles, have escaped containment, and they are on the loose on the internet.

The Foundation recommends that should a huggle approach you, let it hug you, because they become docile after giving a hug.
