Disjointed Realities

*Play music while you read.*

 

Beep. Beep. From around the corner while cleaning out a kitty litter pan, I heard beeps. Instinctively knowing what was happening, I dropped what I was doing and rushed to the kitchen.

Sure enough my husband had not only stopped the food timer I had running but he set it back to zero. I was dumbfounded. “Why did you stop my timer?” His answer, “I don’t know.” “Don’t you realize I have to time the elderberries? How many times have I cooked them?” No answer from him, just grumbling as he walked away. Shaking my head, I reset and restarted my timer.

You have no idea how often something like this happens. What planet is he on?

Thinking about what he had been reading on the internet, he was oblivious to what was happening around him. Despite the fact I prepared the elderberries for cooking in front of him for which I was using a timer, and despite him making a comment that he thought he stepped in poop, [what was that smell?], he was clueless that one, I was cooking elderberries, and two, I was using the timer. Elderberries, if you don’t know, have a very strong smell but they do not smell like poop.

He checked the bottom of his sneakers looking for poop. No, Hubby, you will not find poop on your sneakers. That is my elderberries cooking. 

Also while preparing the elderberries Hubby spoke from the study, telling me Jersey had food stuck on her. Huh, he did manage to see that. I replied from the kitchen as long as it is not life or death, I will clean her as soon as I was finished with what I was doing. I further stressed that if I ran every time something was out of order, I wouldn’t get anything done.

The moment I finished, I removed food from Jersey’s fur. No worries. 

Friends, not being in the present moment, you become blind, failing to live. Even typing this my awareness is adjusted so I know what is going on around me. When I do read a book or watch a series on Netflix sure I’m oblivious as is the next person to what is around me, yet the moment my attention is back in “the present”, I am aware.

The bird photograph is of a Cooper’s Hawk.

Starting New Hair Trend called HIDDEN ROOTS. LOL 9 weeks without hair treatment.

    1. Barbara, as I stated in my post in all seriousness this goes on a lot with hubby’s mind somewhere else and with him undoing something I’ve done. I’m seeing the humor in it versus aggravation. (LOL) Lucky you with the hair appt. Our state has yet to open. Much love to you! xo

    1. Soon soon I say I will be getting my hair done, GF. Just have to hang in there until I do. My hair is very long and I can do a lot with it to hide my roots. I don’t like hats so I create with my own hair. You take care too! Much love your way! xo

    1. Thank you, Shruti, for saying I look cute in that picture. Oh the many ways I’ve devised to hide my roots. LOL
      I do not use the terminology quarantine. That is negative thinking that only makes me feel “bad”. Nope. Rather, I am nesting.
      Good to know you enjoyed my post. It was meant for my readers to laugh. My life at times is truly, when viewed through a certain lens, very humorous.
      My husband ….. the absent minded professor! You don’t know the times I’ve done something, only to have my hubby undo what I did so that I have to redo what I had done. Teehee …..
      I’m always safe, dear friend. The light and love of Mother and God protect me always. My reality I create. No one else has my permission to do so. I alone am the Creator of my life! I walk with confidence every Moment I and my family are protected.
      Much love to you and your Maa. (((HUGS)))xo

    1. Just a smile, Rob? No outright laugh at how my life is at times? I was laughing as I wrote this. And this morning, when hubby read this, he had tears on his cheeks from laughing so hard. He gets it. He KNOWS how he can be and then how I turn around and laugh at his antics.
      Many people said how they enjoy music while reading my posts. Yes I have begun incorporating music with them. I went back and forth with the link I chose as I attempted to find a better one. I should know better. This video shown was my first choice. When I doubt myself, I always end up with mud on my face. LOL
      Have a wonderful weekend! Hopefully wet weather here will clear up so I can continue in my gardens. I have so so many pictures to show …. I’ve yet to take off almost 1000 frames from my cameras. The shots I have! I’ve turned into one big happy kid!! Much love to you!! xo

  5. Dear lady (when I stopped laughing and almost wet myself), I write to you in sympathy for your husband. I too have been blamed for that single mindedness that completely trashes a well laid set of plans.
    I liked to think that this focus has a well trained mind, an ability to get things done etc, etc. But at the cost of burning the house down from a forgotten iron (I was asked to turn off), I think it may have a little negativity to its said positive 😂 🤣
    Anyway, my hair has also reached a disastrous single mindedness too Amy. Maybe I should use the iron on it to flatten it out. Might forget to turn it off too and light a little spark behind my male eyes 😂 🤣

    1. Oh my gosh! Mark! I’m laughing so hard right now I’m just about wetting myself! To hear how hard you laughed made my day! This post was meant to have everyone roaring by what my life consists of. Yes I live with the absent minded professor! Yes he has the ability to plan and provide, if not a wee overboard. He TALKS about getting things done until I clap my hands over my ears and yell JUST DO IT! Still laughing! Oh Lord! To know there is someone else like hubby ….. Teehee!
      Hmmmmm …. I thought you told me once you had no hair. Now tell me, how is it possible to iron no hair? ROFLMAO!
      Spark away, Mark! OMG! Tears! Weeeeeee!! THANK YOU! xoxoxoxoxo

        I actually do have most (thin, grey and wispy), except for the aerodrome on top dear lady. And now that I haven’t been near a hairdresser for so long the back and sides are about 3 inches long and pointing all over the place. I usually cut it all down to 1/8inch it is so much easier to look after, looks neat and a bottle of shampoo goes on forever 😂 🤣
        I’ll have to do a post on Erick (the visitor bird) and will show how he happily landed and took off from my aerodrome. Well, it comes in handy for something dear lady 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋 xox

I told him I wasn’t going to do it cuz every time I have in the past, he complained how I cut it. So, he being the expert on hair cuts, did his own. LOL xoxo

  6. Love the hawk! Amazing birds – wish I was one now! Nice trendy hair style – I think you’ve got something there!! It truly is challenging to stay focused, centered and present now-a-days. Your body isn’t even your own anymore – by law. Feeling a bit insane myself, but yes, in the present moment all is well!! Thanks for the reminder. Oh, just had a thought – maybe hubby was trying to stop time – I mean like literally, that would be a blessing!! Much love, Donna

    1. Donna, this past week’s energies have been tough! Don’t feed into them. Just disconnect and do whatever it takes to get through. I basically vegged out on my couch, so exhausted barely able to move. It’s OK to feel those things that are bubbling up to the surface. Feel them, work through them until you find your TRUTH in those feelings. Keep your eyes on your TRUTH. No one can own you if you yourself do not allow it. And I mean that!

      I hope this link comes through for you:

      I’m about half-way through and it is very very encouraging. Hang on for things that are about to become are SO much better. Put your belief in YOU. Get away from the media, the news, the lies. Just BE. BIG (((HUGS))) xo

      2. Aw, Donna. My heart so goes out to you. What I am seeing in the parks is enough … what is happening to people is not for me to experience, yet to see it is upsetting IF I allow it to be. I don’t think our “reality” will ever be the same anymore. People are being primed for OCD, for mental disorders, fear of others, paranoia. Will bars even exist anymore? Will a gym? Will we feel comfortable in groups ever again? These questions and more I do think upon and having no answers as to what tomorrow brings, I go on living as best I can in my present day. And that is about as far as I go. Hope you view the link. I know it spoke volumes to me!! (((HUGS)))! xo

I plan on going back with my long lens to see what I can get. I have literally thousands of pics to go through which I have not done. As you read in my comment to Donna, energy this past week was very heavy. I ducked landing on my couch. LOL
      Have a beautiful day, my dear friend. Keep up shooting ….. I am so proud of you! Much love to you! xo

  14. I’m always telling my husband to get out of the kitchen when I’m cooking. I’ll turn a pot up, he’ll turn it down. I think it’s done, he says it needs a little longer. Men! As for hair, I’ve always kept mine short and I had it cut just at the start of the pandemic. I will need to trim the bangs pretty soon, but the rest of it, although longer than I like, isn’t too unruly yet.

    BTW, that bud photo is stunning.

      That bud is a rose. It’s been raining so much here, as you well know, my gardens are getting done very very slowly this year. And then when the sun does come out I have to make the very very hard decision …. gardens or camera today? Some days it is both. Other days camera. Then others still just gardens. If I could, it would always be cameras. LOL Have a great day, CM, who needs her bangs cut. I did cut mine!! Big (((HUGS))) xo

    1. Hubby saw a Juve Cooper’s Hawk the other day. How incredible! Wish I could let my hair go …. the color does not suit my skin tone however. The cat behind me on the wall is Rocky who passed away 2 years ago. I have some pictures of those cats who are no longer with us on my “wall of fame”. I stopped putting pictures up with Bella’s passing last year April. I’m thinking of taking all the pictures down and put my photography up instead. It’s still so difficult to look at these pictures. It is a process of letting go I think. Hope your day is a good one today!! Much love to you! xo

      1. For some reason womans hair doesn’t always look as pretty as mens gray hair. My husbands gray hair sparkles like silver at christmas when the sun hits it. Mine just looks gray. I might have to add highlights to it. 🙂 I have been starting to print a few photos and then I just switch them out in the frame now and then. It is fun to see them on the wall in stead of just cyber space.

  20. I so relate to this post and I kept laughing as I read it! 😀
    While I am trying to be calm the world inside my home is driving me nuts really. And I can give you company on the hair. There was a time when I grew my hair longer much inspired by the 80s rockband musicians and then bleached it, coloured it purple and pink (don’t even ask why) and then I was back to my regular short black hair and now with the ‘nesting period’ my hair has literally become a nest and have half a mind of colouring it orange 😀

    1. Parikhit, I’m so thrilled you laughed! YES! My husband at times is driving me nuts so I get out of the house as much as I can or avoid him. Too much closeness is sometimes not a good thing. Anyways …. hair ….. I’m hanging in there though it is getting tougher as my very dark roots continue to grow in. I will NOT touch it however because my hair stylist does such a good job I do not wish to mess that up. So I wear my hair in creative ways in an attempt to hide the dark roots. We all did nutty things with our hair when younger. You made me laugh when I heard what you used to do. Too funny. Have a great day and try finding humor today somehow!! xo

  21. Amy,

    Thanks for the reminder to be in the present moment. I am resetting today after a bumpy weekend. The energies have been stirring up a lot. Looking at your photos and listening to the music is helpful to be here now.

    We all have been distracted and feeling frustrated. I can relate to both sides. What a time we are living through!

    I have cut my bangs three times now. My hairdresser has told me I am blessed to have fast growing, think hair. Right now, I am looking forward to a cut (hopefully this summer.)

    Many blessings to you and your family,

    1. You are welcome, Lisa. Last week was very bumpy for me …. I intend to reset so this week is a much better one. I’m feeling more then frustrated at times to be honest with you. I feel angry that so much has been taken from all of us and our basic need to be with one another has been denied us. Our existence today is the furthest thing from “normal”. I wish not to debate if this is for our own good or not. I am just stating what I am feeling.
      I’ve only cut my bangs once and almost to the point they need to be cut again. *sigh*
      Many blessings to you and your family. May your day be filled with peace. Much love to you! xo

      2. Lisa, if we stop to really think and I mean think, the totality of what has so drastically been forced upon us, we would say in another lifetime, no way, that would never happen. Yet, it has. The unthinkable, the impossible, has happened. And …. IF you know where to look for stats and whatnot, what we are being told does not add up. Everyone is terrified to really “say” anything against what the media is forcing down our throats. Forgive the rant. I’m just so done being treated like this and witnessing a nightmare I cannot wake up from. The ramifications just psychologically for example, from all this my mind is not even to grapple. Pile on enough fear, entrapment, control, stress for long periods of time and illness and “other” does happen. The aftershocks of all this has yet to occur. From sources I’ve read, mental issues are on a huge rise right now. Really? Gee. I wonder why!
        I’m of the “common sense” mind and I’m educated in medicine. When I say things do not make sense, nor do they add up, I can …. I’ve education to back me.
        Anywho …. thank you for reading. Thank you for hearing me, a voice and spirit that longs to be with mankind again. xoxo

      6. Fyi, Lisa, it is my belief due to the huge amount of information that is being given us, (too much!), one of the incredible changes will be people will begin relying on their intuition. I’ve lived like this for years so this is my “nom”. Even though I am medically-science based, I rely more on my “feelings” today then anything I read or hear. I encourage you to develop a connection with your intuition so strong no-thing will break it. Good for you! This will be the way to bring order from chaos. Knowledge only goes so far …..
