Seeing my mother in dreams...

It first happened about 2 months ago (I think). I had a dream that I was at a house, it was familiar but I didn't recognize it. On the side of the house was a porch like area. I was talking to my mother, I can't remember any of the conversation. She was sitting in a chair. Then Kate, a lady I worked with at PetSmart came waling up and her and my mother started talking. I remember asking "do you to know each other?" They both looked and me and said yes they did. They continued to talk and I walked off to tend to something else.

The next time (that I can remember) was just a couple of weeks ago. I was walking up to the back of the house. The one I grew up in and the one my mom lived in then she died. It was different because there was a covered area attached to the back of the house. There was a bench of some kind that Dick and a couple of other people where working at. I could not see what they where working on they had their backs to me. I watch for a few minutes, they either did not know I was there or just ignored me. When they all of a sudden went into the house I noticed my mother sitting by the bench, on a stool I think. She was not making eye contact with me she was just kind of gazing at the bench. I walked up to her and we hugged. I told her I was sorry and that I thought everyone understood that I was to take care of things (when she died). She said in a very low voice... "So did I, I thought I made it clear". I then heard the phone ring in the house. I started up the steps and inside the door before I realized it had not rang a second time. I turned to go back to mom, she was still sitting there. I can't remember anything after that. I knew I was dreaming and that I wanted to remember it. I woke up, I was hoping to return to the dream when I fell back to sleep. If I did I don't remember it. I still don't feel like there was a message to do anything or take any new action. I can't stop wondering if I was suppose to get something else from it. I'm so pissed at Dick and Patty for pushing me out! It's not fair... we (my mother and I) where so close. She was really close to Nanci and all the kids too. It just sucks!

Physical Today, Ginger Visits, Kairi's First Hike!

So I went in for a physical today. Not bad, but not great either. I'm fat, real fat! I weighed in at 242 lbs. That's fat, especially when I'm 5' 8". Myblood pressure was high today too, 140/98. My BP has always been 125/70. Not anymore. I have to wait 7 to 10 days for the blood tests results. I have a female doctor. She is great, we have been going to her for years. Speaking of years, it's been 3 years since I was there last. Nanci has her physical tomorrow and Tina the next day. We have insurance again.

Ginger showed up last Friday for the weekend. She stayed Friday through Monday. Nanci had to work everyday of course. I had Saturday and Sunday off. We took Ginger to Rainbow Falls in Manituo then lunch. Kairi loved hanging out with Ginger.





Sunday we went for a hike at Spruce Mountain Open Space. It sits between Larkspur and Monument. The full hike is 5.5 miles. We had Kairi with us so we took a short route to the top of the mountain. This was the first hike for Kairi so, we where not too sure how she would do. She had energy the whole way! She loved hiking. We are planing on taking her again next week.

First cookout of the year!

Wow, great weather today, up in the 70's. Nanci had the day off. Her and Tina went shopping with Lori and the kids. Then I met them at a park by my work for lunch. Earlier Kairi through up at Target and they had to buy her a new outfit. She was fine most of the afternoon then laid down about 7 and she was down for the night.

I arrived home from work to find that Nanci had the cushions out on the outdoor furniture and an ice bucket full of beer. We sat out side for an hour or so and talked and enjoyed the weather. Kairi was here and had a great time playing in the dirt. Then Chris, Lori, Matt and Parker showed up with burgers and hot dogs. We had a great cookout. Can't wait for the weather to get warm so we can cookout every night again.

Time to go sit in the hot tub!

Cars all going again

Finally have all the cars running again! Garry needed a new battery and a tune up. The Benz needed 2 fuel pumps, yep 2. I had no idea they had 2 fuel pumps. They are not cheap either, I got a deal at almost $300 each! The best part is that Hutch fixed my heater fan for free! Not having heat in the winter really sucks.

Kairi spent the night last night and I planned on getting more video to post but, that didn't happen. Maybe next time. We went to a great new ice cream place last called Glacier Ice Cream. Here is a photo of Kairi with her baby cone!



Nanci is feeling much better and almost over the crud. She is getting motivated to get her staff of to speed. I'm looking forward to helping her.

I have a management blog that I started over a year ago. I have not take the time to do anything with it though. I get home and just don't feeling like doing anything... it sucks.

Nanci is back!

Again I didn't write all week.

Nanci is home from her trip to GA. Her flight going out was great. However, the return flight didn't go as planned. Her plane left Atlanta on time and was scheduled to land in the Springs at 8:45 pm. The flight app I have on my iphone said the flight was early and would land at 8:13 pm. So, Tina and I arrived at the airport at about 8 o'clock and parked in the "Cell Phone Waiting Area" Well at 8:40 or so we gave up on that app and went online with my phone and went to the Delta Airlines website. The site showed that the arrival was delayed twice and then re-routed. It's now about 9 o'clock. I called the 800 number for the airline and they said the plan was unable to land because of ground conditions (it was foggy) and the plan was in Denver and would return to the Springs at 11:30 pm. OK, now it's 9:30 and Tina and I headed home for a couple of hours. Nanci called as we where leaving the airport and while I was talking to her (she is sitting in the plan on the runway in Denver) they announced they would shuttle them to the Springs on a bus. Tina and I went home and had something to eat and hung out for a while. Nanci called at midnight or so and said they are on the bus. Tina and I went to my work to kill some time placing towing stickers on cars illegally parked in my lot from the bar. The bus finally got to the Springs airport at 1:11 am. Nanci had to work the next day from open to close. She was not feeling well either, she had a bad cold. I was off the next day and took her to work. She was feeling worse by noon and left at 2:30 to go home. She went strait to bed and slept for several hours. That was last night. She felt a little better today. She had to open this morning. It's Sunday and I usually take her to work on Sunday's and hang out at the library in Castle Rock. That is where I'm at now. The store closes at 6.

Lori, Chris and the kids (except Lemon Head he was at other grandmas) came to our house to wash clothes yesterday. I got to spend some time with the kids. Kairi was being cute (as usual) and I have a couple of videos of her talking to me. My phone will not let me email them because they are too big. So, if I can get them off my phone I'll post them here.
