Ma'am, it is not spooky season yet!

Short post.....

Went get food.  

Came home to nervous puppers.  It's hard to explain, they weren't scared but they were acting weird. 

That's when I realized I smelled...perfume.  

Not anything I wear or any scent I have in my house. 

Like...your stereotypical old lady florally perfume but not overly offensive.  

I literally stopped in my tracks because where is it coming from. 

So I walked to the kitchen to put down my food. 

The dogs were better once I was there.

I went back to the front and the scent was still there but ONLY in my office.  

So I said "I don't know who is here but if you have good intentions, thank you for visiting". Because honestly I had no idea what else it could be. 

The scent slowly faded away.  

So what was it?  A spirit or an olfactory malfunction?

Ever Dance with the Devil in the...bright sunlight?

 I know I know its a wrong quote, I am being funny.    I think I pulled a muscle and I hate everything.  

Kidding, I'm not that old.  But picture it... NOLA 2025.  Its summer and you are watering plants because Invest 93L was a joke and dropped like NO rain.  Ok it dropped some in other places but not a lot here.  

So there I am watering plants as a favor when something smacks me in the side of the face.  

I had music on so I didn't hear anything but looked around.  I didn't see anything so I went about watering and singing.  When out of nowhere I hear "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" by my ear. 

So I look and a f**king wasp hits the lense of my sunglasses.  

 

So I

All while holding the stupid watering wand in my hand. It was like the most spastic water ballet ever.

Meanwhile the f**king wasp kept coming.  So I am like screaming nonsense at this little flying demon. 

I finally dowse it in enough water it flies away.  That is when I realize I have like 20 notifications on my watch and I hear laughing.  

The ENTIRE ordeal is caught on the freaking Ring Camera and the laughing I hear is the person I am doing this favor for and his friends WATCHING ME FIGHT AN "INVISIBLE" THREAT!!!

Apparently he saw the alert I was in the yard and was bragging (AW) to his friends how awesome I am to take care of his plants.  And when he opened the camera to tell me hi.... the above happened.  Which was apparently very entertaining. 

His friend "we could go viral if we upload that!!!!"

Cue MORE laughter.  Yea yea yall live it up....I'll just go waterboard some wasps.  

I gotta go back, back, back to school again

My subconscious is unhinged.  In this episode of WTF we go back to High School. 

My memory of this dream begins with me (at the age I am now) walking through the halls of my High School. It's familiar but not.  I've been back to the school recently and its very modern and updated.  But I feel really short.  Or like everything is bigger?  Not sure.  

So I am in my 40's back in high school...what is happening?  So I am walking with books in my arms trying to find my classes.  Seriously WTF is going on. 

The first class I went to was psychology (that checks out for me).  In my class I recognize a bunch of girls that I went to HS with, and guys I knew in HS, along with one girl I am still close with but she went to another HS.  She told me "if I'm doing HS again, I am doing it with y'all!".  Then there are a bunch of guys (weird, I went to an all girls school) and girls I don't recognize. The ones I didn't know all looked at me, like stared, as I walked in (WTF). 

The next class was upstairs but the stairs were HUGE and there was no railing so I was having an issue going up the stairs. When I get close to the top, the top two stairs flatten out into a ramp and I can't get up it.  The teacher (in robes) told a girl at the top to help me.  She is tugging my arm (not very helpful) and says "I can't she's too fat!"  again WTF.  

This class is in an auditorium (which my HS doesn't have).  It was astronomy.  And I sat in the back but the teacher kept calling on me and making me uncomfortable because the people in the class I didn't know were the ones watching me.  The people I knew were looking down taking notes.  

It skipped around a bit and I was at a tiki bar (?) with hubs and a bunch of peeps from school.  I was introducing him to my HS friends and we were playing pool...I think.  It was a weird game but looked like pool.  

We walked up to the bar to get a drink and I knew two of the guys at the bar.  But they weren't people from HS or any of the peeps from dream school I didn't know. I knew them from school in the dream but like also knew them knew them... it was weird.  So we are waiting for our drinks and the guy closest to me is teasing me about something and nudging me.  Hubs was like what is going on and I explain whatever the joke is and he was like "y'all are weird".  As we are all talking I keep thinking "I know him.  I know him.  Who is this".  But I couldn't see his face.  It was like a tickle in my brain.  

The other guy was talking to hubs over us about football or something.  And the one closest to me was like "I'm worried about you."  What, why?!?!?!  I was leaning on my elbows on the bar and I distinctly remember him putting his hand on my arm and saying "you need to be careful, please promise me you'll be careful".  And that's when I really focused on his hands.  He had smallish hands for a guy, a black.gray wedding ring, hairy arms, and tanish skin.  Why does this look familiar?!?!?!?!?  I don't usually remember people's f**king hands, who is this??!?!

Something happens behind us and I am knocked into hubs.  He puts his arms around me and when I look back to the guy next to me I see something, but its blurry, like I can't focus.  I see light eyes looking sad.  He grabs my hand and says "did you hear me, you need to be careful!  They are watching you." What?!?!  Who??!!?!? And then I recognize the voice. I know that voice.  I talk with that voice almost daily.  We work together.  We are friends.  Why can't I see you?!?!!?  

It jumps again and I am back in school.  It's like an art class or a lab...I can't tell, there are two people to a table.  I recognize some people but then there are those "Others".  I still don't know why we all had to go back to school but its not normal school.  Something is different.  

The teacher tells us to get into groups of four.  The girl at my table I have known since 1st grade.  She hops up and goes to our other friends we all went to grammar school with. I am odd man out but there is a table of "others" behind me that need another person.  Its two guys and a girl.  One guy was blonde, tall and muscular skinny.  The other was dark haired, and more broad muscular.  The girl had long wavy red hair and was VERY pretty.  Honestly all stupidly attractive. So I join them.  

They looked almost goth but not...also kinda grunge.  It's hard to explain. They were actually VERY accepting but were also some of the ones that just kinda stared at me in other classes.  We were doing some sort of group project and kinda became friends (?).  They'd told me things.  I don't remember the things but I know I knew secrets I shouldn't know. It jumped again and we were at someones house.  But it was older.  Like looked like a house from the late 80's, early 90's.  

This group project was some sort of magic (?) but the peeps in my group were very certain the teacher was up to something and it was dark magic.  It was bad and we needed to stop.  But if we didn't do the project we'd fail.  If we failed we would be put in a "camp" (seriously WTAF).  

The blonde was acting the weirdest of all.  Apparently we'd become very close. He had stormed off and the others were like, He'll only listen to you.  So I followed him into a dark room.  I couldn't see anything and he said from the darkness, you shouldn't be here.  What if I hurt you.  And I said "you wouldn't hurt me".  

He pinned me against a wall with unnatural speed.  He leaned into my personal space and almost growled "are you scared yet?".  And I said "I'm not scared of you".  He leaned in next to my left ear and said "you should be". And then sank his fangs into my neck. 

I woke up but not in a panic.  I still wasn't scared.  Because the feeling I felt when he bit me wasn't fear.  It was like I was helping a friend.

So that is my weird @$$ dream of the month.  It's a lot to unpack...not even gonna try right now.  

Can you stop manifesting me, I’m busy

I am not trying to sound like a nutter.  I know there are things beyond our knowledge that are unknown and still being discovered.  

With that said I’ve always been…in tune I guess.  Like there was a time where I ignored my intuition.  I didn’t listen to it because people (family and boyfriends) thought it was evil or satanic. This was a time where I didn’t focus on it because it was “weird” but those were darker times in my life.  It’s when I let people in that I shouldn’t have.  It’s when I made decisions that weren’t in my best interest.  It’s when I got hurt or sick.  

I am by no means playing the “yo I’m a psychic” card because I know that isn’t true for me.  But as I've aged.  As I’ve had experiences I realized that intuition…that gut feeling…that otherness needs to be nurtured and coveted not suppressed. 

So I started tuning back into that inner voice.  That feeling.  And honestly I think I am better for it.  

I started paying attention, but now I am noticing more.  I know people joke that you have to “put” things out into the universe or you need to manifest XYZ.  And I would laugh but also take some of it seriously.  Its intention.  Just like with “witchcraft”, Religion, honestly anything…the intention you exude will affect the outcome and you.

I think this also applies to all kinds of things, including relationships.  Not just the romantic ones but the friends, the platonic, the work, the acquaintances.  I had a weird thing a few weeks ago.  I was riding my bike and was like “I really want to hear _____ song”.  I wasn’t on a station that would normally play that song but suddenly it came on.  Hmmm weird.  Totally a coincidence. 

But then it happened again a day or so later.  Well that's odd.  So I decided to test it with something that wasn't a random song I really wanted to hear.  So I thought of a person, like really focused on them. Someone I am not super close with so they wouldn’t be calling or texting on the reg. Out of the blue he called me. And I didn't answer because he got a new number.  But I did call him back.  When I say it’s been a while.  I haven’t heard from him in TWO YEARS. Why call now?!?!

Moving on,  yesterday I said to the hubs…"it's really weird, that one Sales Rep that I used to work with all the time hasn’t contacted me months to talk about new customers."  He literally IM’d me today and set up two meetings. 

But it's not just me, it seems to be going both ways.  A few days ago I messaged my friend whom I haven’t really talked much with because we both are super busy.  Now yes we talk more regularly than the ones above BUT this made me go WTF.  I sent a message and he responded in like seconds.  He said “WTAF, I literally looked at your name and before I could click on you to send a message  you messaged me!!!!!” He said that happens a lot but it’s the 1st time he told me. 

He said there have been countless times where he’s like I wonder what NOLA Gurl would think or I should call her and then I send a random message out of the blue.  But this time freaked him out because he literally just looked at my name and I sent a message.  

So what is it???  How does that work?  I don’t believe all of these are random coincidences.
