Music Monday! Two for Tuesday!! Purple Haze, there must be some way out of here....

-
Perfect for this Two for Tuesday, since Benedryl left me in a HAZE for 2 days!
(and well, I like purple)
I found myself this morning desperate to
find some way out of that dreamy, cloudy feeling.

I now remember why I stopped taking the stuff.
It went a little like this today:
Wake up, take Benedryl, sit at computer, doze off, fall into heavy dreaming sleep, wake up, try to figure out if this is still a dream, have nagging feeling I need to do something, but can't remember what, and know I am unprepared for it. Resolve to get back to work, sit at computer, doze off again, dream I volunteered to speak in front of my high school children's class, about what I do. In dream, I am late, and reconsider that high school children will want to learn how to crochet, or even care, get interrupted so I am even later. Wake up, still feeling like I am in a dream, wondering what it is I am supposed to be doing that i just can't remember. I can't get my head out of that dream feeling.




That was today!

Yesterday, not so much sleeping, but certainly could not get anything done. Last night, after taking Benedryl all day, no wonder I fell asleep on the couch at 9:30, still unsure of how I got to bed.

Finally, this afternoon, the medicine wore off  and I welcomed the clear head, even with itchy eyes and sneezing. 

So that is why, first I missed Music Monday. 
And second, you can enjoy some Jimmy Hendrix.
(You HAVE to check out the official website - THAT is the kind of background Raige would love!!)




I ended the day 'Claritin Clear'. Just hope the Claritin keeps doing a good job, and I don't have to go back to Benedryl anytime soon. I think after a few days of taking either one, the effectiveness wears off, so you just can't win. 

In that case, it's best to just enjoy the music.
No - I am not sure what it was that gave me that 'I gotta do something' feeling. I do know, that this afternoon, with a clearer head, I accomplished a lot of what I didn't get done yesterday.

    Oh my goodness. So sorry you suffer from allergies. I though would wish benedryl would work like that for me. Sounds like a great sleeping aide :)

    Oh, Leta, I wish I could say it was a good sleep, but really, not the kind of sleep that is resting. It is a strange sleep. It seems benedryl only does that to me after a few days of use. But I wouldn't recommend this for a good sleep. :)

    That drug induced sleep is not restful, and if you're anything like me you get fantastically amazing dreams :-)

    JacBer, I had amazingly stressful dreams, like I was late for speaking in front of a class of high schoolers. then when I woke up, still felt like I was dreaming. I wish for fantasically amazing dreams. :)

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
