Rainy Days @ MindSay

PSYCHO BABBLE.

I was chatting with Andreux and Environgirl on separate occasions last week and we decided we would love to see the sun again.  I think it's been raining for almost two weeks straight. Everyday is cold and damp. ENOUGH is ENOUGH! I'm not even a sun worshipping day person like Sunnyisbetter  but dang it, I would like to walk outside without clouds looming over me!  Anyway, the Video of the Day is "Here Comes the Sun" by George Harrison. Dedicated to Shiny, socks and Avi and all of the people waiting for the sun.

 

 

 

 

It seems every critter I’ve ever owned has been weird in one way or another. I’m not sure if that’s because weird souls are attracted to one another, or if it’s that they BECOME weird after being exposed to my own weirdness over time.

We have all been noticing ANOTHER peculiar behavior of Elliot’s the last few weeks. Many times in a day, one of us will look out the window and notice Elliot frantically digging holes in the yard. He has created quite a few craters around the area of his house over the last few weeks. His obsessive digging is followed by a few minutes of vigorous rooting around in the mud like a pig, at which time he pauses briefly to chew on some indiscernible substance. Then the digging, rooting, chewing cycle is repeated. He has been noticed to continue this weirdness for as long as 2 hours at a time.


Thanks to Aleaha’s unwavering fascination with this behavior, her determination to get to the bottom of this oddity has alas determined the purpose of all this. Worms. Elliot is digging for, and then eating, worms.


What else is a dog to do on a cold, dreary, rainy day? If only people could find such utter bliss in the similarly unpleasant circumstances of our own lives.

Today it is rainy outside, dark and misty.  It's one of those days where you just want to curl up and do not much of anything.  I slept fairly well yet still ended up taking a nap.  One of those days.

One of those days where all that matters is being with the person you love.  It doesn't matter if you don't do anything in particular together.  If you don't really have a conversation about much of anything.  Or if one of you (that would be me) takes a nice nap.  All that you care about is that the space in your life that is the shape of that person is filled.  That they are there, touchable, tangible, healthy and alive.  They are there, and you know you can hug or kiss them, wether you do it or not...it's knowing you can.
