Funny Things

I recently had The Birth of Venus by Botticelli on the desktop of my laptop. When Mary saw it, she was rather scandelized and asked if I knew any of those people! I got a good laugh out of that.

One of my sister-in-laws may have to stay with her mother full-time for a while. She asked me how I find meaning in my life with Mary. I told her I guessed I was really in love with Mary since I found her so adorable. I also told her that I love to cook and bake and that I can request things from the library online and that I try to exercise and stay healthy. I don't think she really understood. Am I weird that I'm satisfied here? My life seems so very full to me, but I know that most people pity me and see it as so empty.

I always have such vivid and strange dreams but one the other night has really stayed with me. In my dream Mary wanted to adopt a baby boy and so the social worker came and decided to let her, since she had the money. I was freaked out, thinking about how I'd be responsible for him after Mary passed away, that he wouldn't be like a dog or cat that would die in about 10 or 15 years. I told her that it wouldn't stay cute and would become spoiled and naughty but she didn't care. Also, I was worried that he'd be ugly--we had to take whichever one they gave us. This was all a combination of my own thoughts about getting another cat, watching Desparate Housewives and reading the Nurse Matilda books.

I picked some daffodils from the garden. They're the ones that are whit on the outside and deep orange on the inside. Mary is so enamoured of them. She just repeats over and over that they are so beautiful. I'm glad she enjoys them so much. I just answer, "Yes, they are."

We should have gone to visit Angie today since the weather was so nice, but I just didn't feel like it. Mary tried to call her several times, but no one answered. Anna didn't answer either, so I got her to call Mom. Mary had had a bit of a High Ball (hee, hee) and Mom had had a beer, so they were both quite talkative. It was really funny.
