A Drink, Therapy, and Dreams

Oh, dear....  I've found another beverage that I like - and it's from Starbuck's.  I tried their Cool Lime Refresher today, made with a slice of lime, lime juice, and "green coffee extract."  I certainly got more of a caffeine buzz from half of this drink than I get from 12 ounces of Coca-Cola.  It certainly is an 'energizer' type of drink - and it tastes wonderfully delicious, too.  (I had been prowling the aisles of Safeway, looking for something for lunch and/or supper, when I heard my friend Patrick announce that Starbuck's was having a special on this new drink.  Ummm-ummm...  Glad I wandered over to the kiosk and surprised Patrick and Joy by actually ordering something!
   Lovey would not leave me alone when I returned home yesterday.  She had to be the center of my attention at all times, while Nedi was happy getting a little bit of love, leaving, and then getting more love.  Lovey slept on my chest last night - I wonder if she thinks her 11 pounds can keep me pinned to the mattress?  This morning I saw my therapist, and we laughed a lot.  We both were pointing fingers at each other and declaring that what the other had said wasn't "proper."  But that's OK - it's the second time in 8 years of visits that I actually felt good.  So we had a very pleasant session.
   I laughed and told her how I had purchased two PowerBall tickets for the $327 million prize, and then, knowing the odds were trillions to one of me winning, I looked at properties for sale on Chincoteague.  I decided that I wanted to buy 6 different houses and a 26-acre plot of land, and become a beach cottage landlord-mogul.  There was one house I would live in, one I would keep for friends and visitors, and I'd lease the other 4 out during the summer boom.  What a laugh.  At least I spent only $4 on the two tickets, and I won $12...  even though it would have been nice to go back to the island with some real money....
   I'm continuing to walk the red kids, and on Saturday, I start attending Ooch twice a day; then on the first, I move in with Skipper for the Labor Day weekend.  Should be quiet, but interesting, and I hope the family leaves me with the use of a car...  they live a mile from the closest bus stop - but I can walk it with no problem - it's just nice to have the convenience of wheels.  I haven't yet looked up all of my football teams schedules, and printed them out; that's the only item on my "to do list" today.  Then I can decide who I'll try to watch, and when.  With five college teams and three pro teams to watch, it might get pretty hectic this fall...  Maybe, even, exciting?
