I went to see the doctor today. All of the craziness this month has finally started to affect me. I knew I was in trouble when the nurse asked if she could take my blood pressure one more time. Isn’t it amazing how one situation can take over mentally, physically and emotionally? Keep yourself calm was the last thing the doctor said to me as I walked out the door.
We had another homework assignment with no instructions so by the time my husband and I figured it out, Chase was already in bed. Stay calm right. We were frustrated by the time we figured it out but I kept telling myself to breathe and let it pass. I tried to stay calm while the cement barrier ripped the front of my husbands Audi off over the weekend. No problem. I even chuckled when I backed into my garage door not too long ago. However, when my husband held his hand up and said,”don’t move”and I looked down to see a tiny snake slither across my kitchen floor, that grabbed my calm and ripped it right out from underneath me. There I was standing on my countertop shaking as we figured out a way to get it outside. Finally, it was time to throw in the towel and head to bed but my fight or flight was working overtime and the deafening ringing in my ears made me panic at the thought of never hearing quiet again. Tomorrow’s another day. Let go of this one and stay calm. Repeat after me, stay calm.

There is a dark cloud hanging over you somewhere. It’s the same sort of odd terror bugging me in recent weeks. Your circumstances are different but just as scary. That bit about the snake in the kitchen is really trying to tell you something…I am just not sure of the interpretation. Is it a good or bad sign? A mouse in the house is said to represent no worries about starvation. Could a snake mean someone is telling you to slow down and stay calm?

I will let you know if I think of something. But, I suspect it is an epiphany for you to uncover.

Interesting… So, I would guess the snake was a kind shoulder rub in your time of excess stress.

Oh, the snakes in the house! We’ve had a few of those in the years we’ve lived in the country. Look at this way, at least you won’t have any mice. 😊

We have 4! The snake is a much more efficient exterminator. But I understand why you’d rather not have it around. They freak me out too.
