"Sure, you have duties, but what about your duties to yourself?"



If it’s Sunday it could be Chinese dinner night, bazinga!
Nah we aren’t that rigid with when we eat what.
But it was.
That is Chinese dinner night and the title was oddly enough my first fortune that I opened.
Odd due to last night’s blog sort of speaking to that concept…
Any-who, and my first because they gave us seven fortune cookies, due to Hubby mentioning that last time they forgot to give us any.

And the number seven means: “It is a lucky number in Chinese culture, because it sounds alike to the Chinese word (Pinyin: qǐ) meaning arise, which means I love you.”

“In Buddhist culture, it represents Buddha, Dharma and Bonze, so people toll the bell three times to worship Buddha and pray for the removal of calamities with 3 sticks of incense. Whilst no.7 implies holiness and mystery in Buddhism, it is lucky as well.”


And so we have seven tonight!
I only ate half of one cookie, Hubby ate all the others, but I did open three of the seven fortunes and so these next two were mine as well, are you ready?
I can’t hear you! I will take your demure silence as a yes…
“The stars appear every night in the sky. All is well”
I knew that, but a bit harder to see with all these clouds lately.
Next one of mine too: “There is always another higher mountain.”
Now just when you think you have conquered all the others, sure, than along comes another, but when?

Here’s Hubby’s in no definitive order of opening, okay? Does it count? 
First:
“The problem of today will be buried by the sands of time”
I’ll go when I’m ready not a moment sooner, okay!
Next 2:
“Time and patience are called for, many surprises await you.”
You got that right…See, if you ‘await you’ whatever does that mean? Perhaps it meant the collective ‘you’, as in actually meaning us both?
Next 3:
“Trust your intuition. The universe is guiding your life.”
Well, that’s a good thing, I think.Going with your gut always works on the Millionaire Game Show.
Next 4:
“Traveling more often is important for your health.”
Okay, I see a more cost effective vehicle in his/our future!

We ordered from them for the first time in a while that is, China City, and Hubby now goes the little over two miles to pick it up due to saving the delivery charges and tip, which can add up. We have been customers of theirs since they opened a few years ago and it’s only the last few times that Hubby picked it up.

Moving on…
I am still drinking my green tea (and it goes well with our dinner choice), which is naturally decaffeinated and has been helping me get a handle on this Detox from the Gabapentin withdrawal.
You see, the one thing that has baffled me is that some days I am exhausted and other nights I have insomnia; sleeping way too much with naps and overnight time or sleep too little with no naps and no nights… I have got to get a handle on this issue. The good thing is by the time next Sunday rolls around I will no longer be taking Gabapentin and I will have diminished my use by few milligrams of my Baclofen too, hip, hip, hooray!

Yesterday, I got clocked by the door handle when I bent down to kiss Skipper goodnight, Hubby was coming in from the garage, which you go through our laundry room to get there and that is the door he opened when I bent down to kiss Skipper Hubby and you got that right he opened the door and got me firmly on the back of my head! An accident of course but it hurts just the same.
Now with my eye problems and Ataxia and other normal weird problems if you were  to test me for a concussion it would be futile, because all my daily symptoms are just like a person with a concussion with my Multiple Sclerosis! LOL!
Anyway, my cervical collar was back on and ice was employed as well all last night and part of this morning and until sitting here in this position at my PC I thought I was fine, but it is starting to 'OW!' me again and so instead I would like to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
