I’m feeling much better today. I rarely get sick. I try to take good care of my mind and body. I chase the bad germs and thoughts away with a stick! This week as I continue to pack up my house and walk through the obstacle course of boxes now piled high and wide, I learned the bungalow I’ve been coveting to purchase and MOVE into across the street isn’t going to work out. And just like that, I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The good doctor also said I had high blood pressure.
“What? Check the other arm. Your machine must be out of whack.” Was my response.
“ppppffff….chhccchhh…pppfff….” Good doctor checks the other arm.
“Hmmmm…still high. What’s going on with you?” Good Doctor inquires.
Silence.
“Um. Well, it all started when I was about three….” I started to say, chuckling. Psychology 101 tells me I was searching for a comic bunker.
Suffice to say, I’m the one that’s out of whack and the machine appears to be fine. What do you know? Yep. I know. This isn’t really news to anyone, is it? The good news is, I’m no longer in what felt like getting kicked between the legs pain and I’m a believer in what’s meant to be, is meant to be as far as the house goes. I’ll work on calming my ass down, which means more Yoga and less Spin: Mr. Yang meet Mr. Yin. I’ll find another non-methane lab bungalow in my urban neighborhood to purchase, love, honor and cherish until the next hottie piece of real estate comes along. Until then, I submitted a short story yesterday and I’m already outlining the next story in my head, as I type these prose to all of you. The screenplay - well, she’s a work in progress, but she’s really taking some shape now too.
Thank you all for your caring and loving thoughts. No worries, this black pussy cat has at least five more lives and she always lands on her feet. 
Purrring and feeling healthier,
Neve Black
oh wow I missed the I’m sick post but glad I made it here for the feeeeeling better post. Sorry to hear your house is not going to work out. There’ll be another one.
I firmly believe everything happens for a reason, too.

Hey Gigi,
Amen to letting it go and realizing something better is coming, ahem…take that anyway you’d like.
Amen to that. It applies to my man situation perfectly.
and as far as houses, in this economy/ market you are the one in charge.
settle for nothing less than what you want!
Hey Gigi,
Settling for nothing less than what I want. Okay, where do I sign up for that, again? haha!
Wow, glad you’re feeling better and congrats on submitting the story. Sorry about the bungalow and the faulty equipment at the docs. You do always land on your chocolate silken paws though–we can count on that ;-). Just curious if your horoscope is calling for topsy-turvy times? That can certainly edge up the blood pressure, no?
Hey D,
“…chocolate, siken paws…” Nice. Thank you for that. Purrrrr.
Yes, actually the planets are a little off-kilter these days. For everyone, actually. Life is a process and all things contained in it. The stress I’m feeling now is temporary. Things have a way of working out. I just take a little bite each day and before I know it, the issue is resolved.
Thank you for your sweet words of support. I appreciate that.
Very very best to you, Neve. (I’m sure you know that cranberry juice — not with sugar added — is purported to be supportive to the digestive tract?) Stay hydrated!
Health and healing,
Em
Hi Em,
I’m a very healthy girl. It had to be close 25 years ago that I had some type of Urinary/bladder issue. I drink at least 2 quarts of water (without fail) everyday. I drink Pom juice with Cranberry and I excercise and try to stay away from the tequila. LOL. This UTI took me by surprise. I’m much better. I’m headed over to Sommers and then off for a run.
Thank you for your happy, healthy healing thoughts. I appreciate those.
When I first read this, I thought you wrote “porn juice.” And I was gonna ask, “Where can I buy that?” lol
Oh, Donna!
Porn juice for sale! You know, I’ll have to consult my business manager on this. LOL!
