  • 20071202-Troubleshooting Lights

    I awoke to cumulous clouds and a windy morning and lazily made my way downstairs to burn and eat a quick breakfast of fried rice and injected ‘Maw’ for her blood sugar. ‘Maw’ finished sewing her new rainbow colored fleece blanket for upstairs and she wanted to go outside to ‘shop’. Instead, ‘Paw’ and I decided to work on the outdoor lights again.

    After a couple of hours to 12:30PM, ‘Paw’ and I successfully fixed the outdoor lights. We couldn’t figure out why and how the porch lights all the way through to the single rose bush and fence areas did not work. We’d wiggle the plugs up and down and unsuccessfully tried finding the burnt out bulbs with this stupid ‘tester’ (Made in China), which probably doesn’t work due to a couple of dead battery that came with it.

    I first had to relocate my 60″ animated angel sculpture to another location where there was soil for the four pins to anchor it securely into the ground. This location was a better view because lights for both the taller rose bush behind the angel were of the same clear, white colors and the angel could not be distinguished from the rose bush.

    Then I had to relocate the other three reindeer family to accommodate the angel. The paw dear was more the right and I placed the maw and child further to the left. I figured that the paw was on the lookout as his family walked and ate cautiously from behind. I wanted to add more reindeers just like the other neighbors but we found out that all the long orange extension cords were used up and the power strip could only hold a maximum of seven grounded extension cords.

    Tonight will be the second debut of our outdoor light extravaganza. I do hope to take a photo right before twilight since I do not know how to make my camera work properly for night time shots.

  • 20071202-Dream Journal

    My morning dream was filled with lots of people indoors. I believe we were all shopping and filled our carts with goodies of all sorts. I was in front of the cashier of brunette hair and ‘Maw’ and ‘Paw’ was to my left and right, respectively. For whatever reason, I placed ‘my’ dirty beige-colored leather wallet on the conveyor belt to be scanned by the cashier.

    The old barcode of the wallet actually registered a price of $3.11 in green fluorescent color! The cashier then ripped the barcode off the wallet and I got angry. I started screaming my head off several times but the cashier wouldn’t say a word and he kept looking at me. I looked behind me and about and noone seemed to notice the commotion between the cashier and me.

    I took the wallet and showed the cashier how worn out the item was by opening and closing to show what little money there was. Then someone else came from my right side to the cashier. There might have been some exchange of words and I heard ‘Paw’ laughed (?) and said he bought the Benz on an exact date, which people believed.

    Then the wallet looked darkest black with a shiny Benz medallion on the front of it. The billfold opened once for both kinds.

    My dream didn’t end there because I was still indoors wandering around with a bunch of moo-cows. These moo-cows were tall and the crowd of them pushed us closer with my face grazing one of their udders. I found myself hiding behind another moo-cow. Actually I was leaning to her left side as we both gazed forward where the cashier was located behind the wall and to the left.

    The moo-cow started backing up on me and I had to stick my left leg out to a table behind us to prevent her from falling on me. I struggled to keep from being crushed a few more times until I managed to scoot to my right side and away from her falling form, which landed on the table’s edge. Other people seemed to take notice of what was happening during my ordeal.
