Postcards From The Psych Ward

So here is my state of mind today.

Somehow I need to get me one of these:

[Actually this exact one would suit me fine. We had a little thing going on at the last Highland Games that we attended. I went back to see him three times during the day. . .]

So I'll convince him I have a lot of free pasture close by for him to eat. And two dogs to keep him company.

But what I really want to do is load him up with a few essentials, tent, sleeping bags, cook pots, journals, pens and ink, a really good saw, a sturdy ax, a bunch of matches, a bag full of vegetable seeds and a lot of yarn and knitting needles. . . Okay, maybe a few tea bags too. Then as soon as I could convince Hub Man to come along, I would head North. I would keep going until I found a likely spot where I would set up  camp.

I'm ready to bug out.=-[   [Ben just typed those last three characters. He put his paws up on the arm of my chair and hit the keys on the laptop. I'm not sure what he was trying to say. It could be, 'Let's go get the horse, I'm the dog for the trip!'  OR  'Somebody call the men in the white coats, I don't feel safe around her right now.'
We'll never know.

Anyway, I want to get the heck outta here.

(Yeah, you say that now. But wait till you are sitting around smoldering fire in a steady rain with an empty belly.)

It's easy to imagine that as just outside the window it is coming down a deluge at the moment.

All right, I would miss whining to my friends about the state of the world if I was trudging along with a loaded up Highland pony next to me. I would be one of those people you see sometimes walking down the street talking to themselves... except of course I could pretend I was talking to the pony.

The fact is I am shell shocked at all the crazy changes going on in the world right now. I heard on the radio today something about ANOTHER trillion dollar 'bill' that is headed our way any time now. I feel positively abused.
And I mean that in every sense of the word. Politically abused.

That's only one facet of it. There are other things that are whacked out, social things, moral things, large and small.

Sigh.

So running away. That's my big plan. But I have to steal a horse first. I can't afford to buy one.

Hey, maybe Obama will buy me a horse. . .

(Don't hold your breath there Cupcake. He has bigger fish to fry.)

Sigh.

Did I mention that is pouring down a deluge outside my window? 

Maybe I should look into what's available in Arks....

( I never thought I would say this so soon, but someone needs to go get that little kid. This is getting morbid.)

I like ponies.
I want to go camping.
We could make s'mores!
It won't rain always.
The sun has to come out sometime.
.......
Who is Obama?

You know,
I think we all need
a little fresh air.
It's a little crowded in here.
Let's go plant some peas in the garden.
The rain has stopped.
Come on.
To the garden.
Plant seeds.

Remember what the Rabbis
said,
"A man believes in eternal life.
Therefore he sows seed."
Outside now.

Move it.




She's probably right. Let's go plant peas.

(This stuff is way above my pay grade...)

    If you're running away and taking a highland pony with you, I'm coming too! Heck, we can just pick up the ponies on our way through Inverness and we can even take our dogs now that there's a rabies anti-body test they can take so they don't have to go through 6 months of British quarantine. Sound like a plan??

    Sign me up, Sister.
    You aren't going without me!
    I've got new needles and yarn coming.
    I'll share. Oh yea. Some of it is yours.
    I'll hold it hostage unless you let me come.
    Does that sound desperate enough?
    I'll bring chocolate.....

    I hate camping out and trying to cook on an open fire. But I'd gladly go on a weekend retreat in some convent. A convent she says? You see how desperate I am.

    I think Ben is asking not to be left behind.


    Bless

    I hope Hubman comes home and says that he would just love, more than anything, to be alone with you and a pony in the mountains up north. Then he would pack all the supplies into the car and you would be on your way! ;o]

    God Bless....Parett

    By all means, head north. I'll even supply the horse along with the forrest, a mountain view and plenty of time to knit. You won't need to camp, but you can if you still feel the need.

    A Highlands pony? No problem. The media overloaded housewives' bailout is next. . .
