bookofmirrorsWell, I started my job at Shoreham a couple of weeks ago. The first day I was out on the floors, orienting, I was giving meds to this guy who had a tattoo on his upper arm. I commented on it, and he said he had another one on his leg, and offered to show it to me. I suggested that maybe later, 'cause I didn't want him to go through the trouble of getting practically undressed for it, but he just pulled up his pant leg.
So, I look down to see this thing I don't quite recognize.
A gallows, with something hanging from it. That much I can make out. I peer closer, having queasy thoughts that this was some sort of horrible racist tattoo, and I'd just run across the grand wizard of the kkk or something like that. So, I look closer. The thing hanging from the gallows is blue... it's a bird. Sigh of relief. Still kinda confused, though.
"So, what are you doing? Hanging the little bluebird of happiness?"
"No. You know what that is? It's a rooster."
Nodding, still not getting it.
"You know what it means?"
"No, what?"
"Cock hanging below my knee."

We finally got our new bed. This means![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liljuice can finally have his own bed.
This bed kicks SOOOO much ass. I didn't really realize just how MUCH difference a king size bed would make. We can both completely sprawl out and not touch each other. I have to travel the distance of the bed just to snuggle.
And, best of all, and the main reason for getting a king size bed...
We can both stretch out, still have an average of 3 cats on the bed at any given time, and no one gets shuffled around, or has to compromise on space.
woo fucking hoo.
*****************************************************
Still need to work on the house. I have spurts of activity. Today, however, I'm stubbornly refusing to do anything productive. Well, OK, I actually consider this productive, once I get to the meaty stuff... but I'm not leaving the house, I'm not showering, and I'm going to indulge my Pet Psychic fetish tonight. :)
*****************************************************
Speaking of the Pet Psychic... This is SOOOO fucking cool...
She's doing a tour, not related, that I can tell, with the TV show. And, she's going to be in Florida in October, 12 days after my birthday. Droooool. And, just to add even more sweetness, it happens to be reasonably close tokapua23, so I'm going to drive down there to the hotel he works at (where I'll get his employee discount - woo hoo!!), check in, and we'll drive to the show. fornorald is helping me in this endeavor by coming over tomorrow and taking pictures of all the household cats. Which will serve not only as a focus in case I get chosen for a reading, but will also come in handy in case something ever happens to our cats; I don't have pictures of all of them right now. Anyway, after the show, we're driving back to said hotel and spending the night together. Him, me, and various leather implements of destruction, the nature of which I'm not supposed to know yet. Yummy. And fully blckwngdorcl approved, of course. He has no interest whatsoever in the Pet Psychic. :)
*****************************************************
On a related note...
I was talking toblckwngdorcl the other day, about a planned tryst with kapua23, the first such dalliance since the fun had during and after blyssmouse's party a few years ago. Anyway, since it's the first time for either of us since we stepped back from that and worked on getting our own shit straight, I'm a tad nervous about it. That's actually not the right word for it. The fact is, I'm very confident that we've done what we said we were going to do, and we're confident in our marriage and the rules we've established, and I have no doubt this is going to be OK for us. However, my first husband and I discussed it, too, and I knew deep down he couldn't handle it, and experimentation proved that. So, sometimes I'm reminded of that, and just want assurance that blckwngdorcl is REALLY cool with it. Which I know deep down he is, but still. Anyway, I asked him if he was really OK with it. You know what he said, after assuring me that it was fine?
"This is one of the few things I think you've got your head straight on."
I love that man.
*******************************************************
On a completely unrelated note, I seem to have gotten my voice back. I'm trying to connect it with some event, some instance where I suddenly didn't feel like I had to swallow it back again, but the only thing that really comes close is my last PDH session withkeiracaitlyn, and even then, the dates don't quite match. Anyway, the nasal quality I was having trouble with when I sing seems to have just gone away.. except for when I do Ns and Ms, but hey... big improvement.
*******************************************************
My sister and her live-in of 12 years have suddenly decided to get married. No, she's not pregnant. With a month's notice, we'll be driving up to Indiana next week. When I talk to her, she's just GIDDY. It's frightening. If you knew my sister, it would be even moreso. But, it's cool, and I'm happy for her. Worried for him, of course, but he's put up with her for this long.... ;)

Had a dream last night involving lots of snakes. Bothblckwngdorcl and I apparently thought they needed to get off the porch, but he picked them up carefully and with little fear, and set them somewhere else gently, whereas I grabbed them quickly, fearfully, and flung them across the yard, where there were many many more snakes. They landed with a thud, and I remember feeling bad, 'cause I hadn't really wanted to hurt them, and I think I had kinda been hoping they would float like frisbees and land gently, if they were all coiled up like they were. They were all impossibly bright yellows and oranges.
Must go look up snakes in the totem book. Of course, one ofblckwngdorcl's totems is the snake...
**************************************************
After an online conversation withtbrents, where he asked me to explain my screen name, I discovered that adding 1+0+1+6+1+9+6+8 (my birthday) does NOT add up to 22; it adds up to 32. ARRGGHH!!! According to Wade's talk on tarot back in the day, this means my life card is the Hierophant, not the Emporer. Plus, it means my screen names, license plate, everything, is all WRONG. Grrrr.... So, I tried to switch everything to BookOfMirrors, but that was taken in a lot of places. So, after much searching, I've settled on MeridaRuskuvel. This stems from my Blade and Mirror post that I made a while back on my blog (http://bookofmirrors.blogspot.com), the Wednesday, August 28, 2002 entry. The actual name came from the Dragon Prince series by Melanie Rawn (very good books). Merida means "gentle glass" and, since that by itself was taken on the chat utilities, too, I added Ruskuvel, which means "leader, mind, sword". (Found it on http://www.melanierawn.com/oldtongue.html). So, I'll be weeding out the KLa22TheDreaming screen names, soon, but now you know what to look for.
