random thoughts as 4:20 nears

How do you like these little pot heads?

Hahahaha! Hahaha!

As I told folks on fb, this made me laugh out loud, and I'm sure Mama would have laughed at it, too.

Here's the difference, though.

I lifted the photo from outlaw Melinda's sister's page and reposted it as my cover photo.

End of story.

Mama would have gathered the goods together to recreate the scene, most likely in a kitchen window.

I sure do miss her.

Maybe she would have had some helpful advice about dancing these days.
I had posted this image of the girl dancing with the Sandra Bullock quote ("The rule is you have to dance a little bit in the morning before you leave the house because it changes the way you walk out in the world.") as my fb profile pic back in February.

That's me, right?

At least, that's been me for most of my life, with my heart rate in the 60's.

And I could dance to anything and everything because I knew there were several choices for pacing: at tempo, at half-tempo, or at double tempo.

Choice is so important!

But how does one dance at 2/3 tempo???

That's what I'm faced with now, as my heart rate still hovers in the forties even though the anti-arrhythmia drug dosage has been halved.

Perhaps my head is overthinking my heart.

My body seems to be figuring it out on its own.

Basically, I just need to sit back and allow it to continue to do so.

I need to not take off at a gallop when I exit my car or walk through a door or head into a cinema or store or anywhere.

As long as I take my time and walk like a regular person, I do just fine and am able to go from hither to yon with no pauses in between.

Slow and steady, like the tortoise in its race against the hare.

Sigh.

Here's a funny sidebar!
When I said "adjusting to the low forties" yesterday, I had overlooked that it's spring here at Latitude 32 North.
What does that mean?
That the weather is all over the place!
Yesterday, the high was 70 F, but at night it dipped right back into... the low forties!
Hahahaha!
Just a few days of that nonsense, though, and we'll be back into the 80's for highs and the 60's for lows.

I much prefer that!

So do the spiderwort and dandelions.

All the rain we've had has made them only too happy to pop their colorful little heads out of the soil!

That's okay, as Smitty came to the rescue with his riding mower!

I bet it only took him about thirty minutes to set right the front yard, the side yards, and the back yard!

No more purple and yellow randomly dotting the green!

And just why had he come on this day instead of yesterday?

Well, that's because today is April 20th, aka 4/20, which makes it the last day to file the state sales tax report for March.

What... you expected me to say something else?

 

That reminds me: I need to take care of that for him, sooner rather than later today.

Breakfast is over and done, and boy howdy!

It was good!

I'd cut up three artichoke hearts and used those with my eggs.

Half of that omelet went onto an English muffin, was topped with a slice of lovely Gouda, then topped with the rest of the egg.

Yep, pretty good, and has an Egg McMuffin beat!

Now, to get those sales taxes done!

(smile!)
