Funny San Francisco Latina Blogger

Fragmented Fridays

Last night I dreamt I was cast in a musical (I can’t sing) and I was playing the part of John Lennon (I’m a woman), but in this production there were 14 members in the Beatles so there was more than one John Lennon.At first I was asked if I could play Ringo and I refused. 

We were all dressed in white and before I knew it the curtain went up and the show started. We’d never rehearsed and we didn’t have a script. I thought I was supposed to sing, but then another John Lennon started singing and I thought great I’ll just do an interpretive dance. And then I danced interpretively.  I was pretty good. 

Did I tell you I got to vote for the SAG Awards? I’d rather be nominated for one, but until then voting for them is still pretty exciting plus I get to watch movies for free. It doesn’t suck. 

My BIL had been unemployed for months and recently had become one of the under-employed. He’s been looking for work, but times are tough. Fortunately this week, he got hired for a temporary full-time job. It’s only for a month, but it’s better than nothing and I can only imagine how rough it must be to continually look for work and get nothing. Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come. 

I found a dead ant in my cleavage. Hey, it’s better than finding a dead aunt in my cleavage.  I wonder what else I might find in there? 

The following story is totally unrelated to finding a dead ant in my cleavage (or is it?):
My daughter is about 17 months old and although she is a genius she can only say a few words. Even though she has not mastered spoken language yet she finds ways of communicating. The other day we were hanging out in the living room and she took me by the hand and led me to the bathroom where she started pointing at the shower/bath. I asked her if she wanted to take a bath and she shook her head no. I asked her if she wanted to take bath with me and she shook her head no. I asked her if she wanted me to take a shower and she vigorously nodded YES! I said, “Okay, Mami will take a shower now”, which made her jump up and down and clap her hands gleefully. Okay kid calm down, I can take a hint.  

Update on the state of my BEAUTIFUL BIG BROWN EYES:

I have been treating the iritis in my left eye for over a month and a half. I have been diligent about the medication even when it meant applying it every hour. Last Friday, I went to get it checked and to my utter dismay the iritis is not gone, there is some improvement, BUT I am having a reaction to the steroid drops. The pressure in my left eye is very high because of the steroid drops, my vision is affected by it, and I will have to continue treatment. 

I’m so tired of it. I want to be better and I don’t want to be worrying about it anymore. I asked if there were any alternate treatments, but my doctor considers the alternative treatments too harsh and believes we should not try them until we have exhausted this milder treatment. I go back in 3 weeks.  

The winner of the Tungsten Ring Giveaway I hosted is Court from Kaiya’s Laughter Heals (and CJ rocks too)! I’ve been following Court since early on in my life as a blogger. Love her!

And that’s all she wrote!

P.S. Disqus seems to be having issues today so you may or may not be able to leave a comment. Sorry! I’m having one of those days. I just found out our rent got raised, blah, blah, blah…

Have a great weekend!
