Perpetual Ruminations

My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

Hope you heal quickly and insurance kicks in sooner than expected.

In response to "Is it Winter?"

Doc told me that immediately after ankle/foot twist, you use cold and rest (elevated) to stop swelling. Since you aren't swelling, the next step in to apply heat to help it heal and don't overdo walking on it. You can also do your own physical therapy stretching to keep the joint/muscle/tendons loose to better heal. I sorta, kindof did that, and it seems to have worked.

Notice that I also avoided the usual trivial comments. Those foot things can be a pain, so don't let the dogs lead you on what trails they want.

Also, don't give up on winter. It'll sneak back when you least suspect. Heal and enjoy.

In response to "What People Say"

I had a few fights in high school and I'm not for one to look for one but if someone said anything bad about me or may. kids, I would stand up and tell them to bug off. I have always been by myself but a few a friends here or there. After high school, I only had one friend.

I agree, I don't like violence because I had been abused when I was 14 by my ex-boyfriend at the time. So, I know what it's like to go through it.

Well, I hope you are doing okay! You do whatever it takes to protect your family.

we suggested they update their system so it will not allow multiple reservations for the same dates. Now, we wait and hope.

In response to "Lake Carlos"

It's crazy how fast everything fills up. We live close to a state park and visit often, but it's always fully reserved. One park ranger said it's partly do to people reserving sites at multiple parks for the same time frame, and not cancelling out the ones they don't use.

I hope everything works out for you and your family! We should probably get some reservations in, too, as sites fill up fast any more.

I think I learned more about life and what simple pleasure is out with Jasper than anyplace else; it was a terrific upbringing and enlightenment.

Now that's what I call a decent upbringing.

What Was I Going To Say?

It's Christmas Eve and everybody is settled in for the evening here. The two teens are in the older girl's room enjoying their gifts and watching something on television, Max (our new Husky pup) is sound asleep as is my wife and I'm spending a little bit of the eve with you.

We started a tradition of opening gifts early on Christmas Eve day since we go to my wife's relatives on Christmas. I won't comment on my thoughts about that, except for the fact that my Mother-in-law is getting up in years and we never know which will be her last Christmas so I do it for her.

Anyway, I was going to blite about something and now have completely forgotten what. It could be something with my advancing years or the fact that Max has disrupted my erratic sleep schedule, but I blame it on the Bulleit.

Actually, I should blame it on my eldest adopted granddaughter who gifted me a nice bourbon glass that reads, "Old Lives Matter." She thought she was ordering a shot glass, but it holds a nice eight ounces or better. I figured I should show her my appreciation by using it, so I shot it with Bulleit and ice. It works nicely.

But, I'm almost out of Bulleits, so I reckon it's time for bed...
