Stream of consciousness(8)


Blog78:

6:18 … “Cinn!  What are you up to now?”  I yelp a good, firm yelp.  That called everyone’s attention.  A long strand of rolled-out tp is drapes the floors from the bathroom … the closet … and into the study.  Inside me a Mom’s voice silently screams a second time.  Pet children bring lots of blessings, but more often than not, they spin over and around one’s being lots of stress!

6:57 … I must have asked three times, maybe more, about today’s date and appointment to which Mick and I would need to show.  I daily tell myself to jot things down … put appointments on calendar.  That’s one good way to not forget!  That’s what will make things easier to remember.  Had I been acting on it? NOT!  I had not done so.  Mick screams.  I feel slighted by it.  ‘He could act on sympathizing with my failing memory,” I lament.  Losing memory! There, I said it.  Done! Still … snapping, raising one’s voice tone does no good to me!

         … “Peel away, chipped feeling!”  I demand.

7:05 … It’s just not my day, I guess.  Annoyance, then anger builds within me over that entry door into my workplace hallway being locked earlier than it should be.  I speak out my mind.  “So and so … please let me lock that door.   What’s the deal?  It’s 7:05!”  Raucous … squeals … uncivilized exchange follows.  But I had to speak out my mind this one time over a silly cause.  That silent feud has gone long and it was time to let it out.

         … Calm down, ‘Brain’ … and breathe out the ugly air from inside!”

7:43 … Off to the tasks of the day.  I must get going.  No.  Stop navigating the sites!  Go now!

         Hu San, Owen and Berns must find that light bulb in their heads soon or they’ll be so far behind from their progressing peers.  What could be cooking in those heads?  Say it together: A letter makes a sound or sounds.  When put together, they make a word; words could be strung in acceptable order.  When they are lined up well, meanings … thoughts … form in heads!  Words – they mean so much and do so much in our day-to-day life!

        … Walking through the hallways, I hear my inner voices nag about completing five more pieces of paperwork for that pesky audit! Hmm … notification to parents of screening and test results (3 of those!), change of status for exempt-serve students, application forms for Speech classes.  Don’t forget those referrals that need signatures.  All must be intact by Friday of this week.  Ugh!

10:13 … Intrusions – they always come when I have a full plate.   A new school intern has requested to be mentored.  I was the pick to ‘break her in’.   (Huff and puff …) That will chunk a big deal from my personal time.  What could be done about it?  There’s absolutely nothing!  Sock it to myself, and move on.  ‘Lungs … breathe in and out 3 times.  Brain – get it over with!  You could do it.  Remember – a good turn begets another good!

2:49 … Oddly enough, there are those among and around us who come in all ‘colors’ and/or ‘baggage’ that could either be done away with or dealt with.  The head-butting this AM was one example, and because it is still on my mind, I want it sorted.  I’m not sure what that ludicrous creature’s intent was.  Today, I was not going to budge a bit farther than I’ve done already.  What was her problem?  Does she think she could lord things over me?  I wonder now if she perceived me to be lower than her.  Nothing makes someone downright ugly and discourteous unless he/she to the bone, already got it ingrained.  This AM’s Scenario: You see someone 3-5 feet away from the door you’re about to close.  Do you shut it and lock it up or welcome the person in, then lock it?  The person inside locked the door on me!!!    If I encountered that situation though, I would have kept the door unlocked, opened it and greeted the person.  But that was not the case.  I shortly lost my cool over that, but decided confronting it.  It needed to be taken care of, so I did.  I would perhaps hear more about it, but right now, I couldn’t care a bit.  Off with that ugliness!

3:47 … I’m still here at the workplace; one more thing that must get out to an interpreter.  I could not believe that communications were not attended for a Burmese family, whose children need a dire assistance!  Let’s get that attended now.

7:13 … Home!  I love being home with the critters and Mick.  I honked and out all three came to greet me.  The ‘walk expectation’ first, and then time to recreate!  The table set up a great home-made meal of tuna, salad, corn and beans and cabbage.  Yummm!  Fried bananas topped with honey was scrumptious indeed!

       … Do some house chores tonight? Naaahh … not tonight.  Let’s load that washer tomorrow! 

      … It’s time to rest and leisurely sip a cup of tea.
