Dog Days Are Over – Florence + The Machine

I heard this on an unrelated note and the lyrics struck me. I think I’m heading this way. It feels good. I don’t know what direction I’m going but I know I’m on the path I need to be on. I haven’t felt this centered in a long while and I’m very very grateful to my concept of God, my family and my friends. I wouldn’t be here without them.

Dog Days Are Over

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
‘Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
‘Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come

Meds Adjusted

Ok after food poisoning and a meds check.
Meds have been bumped. For a small time.

Feeling more reasonable. Less stabby. That’s a good thing for everyone.
Spitzer came back and that made me unreasonably more happy than a cat coming back should. But he is my fluffy, fat butt. And he wasn’t necessary gone, gone. Just cat walkabout. But when your fluffy, fat butt is not around to sit on your computer and compete with the black man for attention, then you notice.

Mark one for Tina. Zero for Shitty Life.

For Moni

I get that you have to be where you have to be and that I have to be where I have to be. But there is something about having you in my city for two weeks and access to you in a way that is not like when you are back in Florida. I don’t think I have ever gotten over you moving and I won’t but it was time for you to take flight.

You are so important to me. Don’t forget it. You matter to me in ways that are hard to express.

I listened to this song and it reminded me of us:

Stevie Nicks – I Miss You Now
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Miss you when you’re not around
When I think about you
I think about how much I
Can’t wait to hear the sound
Of your laughter
Time and distance never matter

Well I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me

Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I
Wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I’m sorry now
I’m sorry now

Well I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me

Tell me again

Paris to Rome, London to Paris
Always goodbye, I nearly couldn’t bear it
Her heart settles down
She’s back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me

Tell me again

Paris to Rome, London to Paris
Always goodbye, I nearly couldn’t bear it
Her heart settles down
She’s back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only he could explain it to me

I miss you now
miss you now
miss you now
