~Happy Hump Day from Yours Truly, Sandra LONDON of Live&Grind and PlaytimeWithSandra Radio~

OK.
So....Hiiiii!!!! Um, yes it has been more than a brief interval since
my last full s(ch)piel on the state of Play.
Anyways,
that does NOT mean that I have thought any less of my radio show
listeners and blog readers and picture- devourers and the like.

I
always and forever think of what might please you to hear, see, or
read....or, at the very least,...energize you and fill you with
passion and fury.
That
doesn't mean that I ever hit any of those marks.
But I do try.
Every
now and one more 'gain.

Never
fear, I have big things in store for my radio show and website. What
it will amount to, hopefully, is simply more of the usual in times of
yore....thematically, anyways.....
Sharing some of my favorite
quotations, beautiful imagery, more dancing, more audio-stories, my
radio box-o-love (caddy-corner, upper right-hand)....
Now,
a select few of you are aware of the grand scheme of things in
regards to my increasingly sporadic posts--- and the lack of my
delightfully charming (or infuriating *shrug) drivel as of late.

I
hesitate to do a full 'what you know good' en masse about the whys
and wherefore.
But please know that there is a definite deadline to the intermittent delay which has befallen.
But please know that there is a definite deadline to the intermittent delay which has befallen.
Health-wise,
I've been able to rule out most major harbingers of ill-gotten
ailments:
Squeaky clean, sexually and reproductively-speaking, and
all that baby-making/harboring(?)-capability madness.

What's more: good liver, good kidneys, good lungs.
I
have, for quite some time, known of my other, arguably more trivial
ailments, in general, largely anemia-susceptibility, gastro-intestinal weirdness and ...shall we
say....attentive-inattentiveness, the shell-shock version.....(a hard-won coping mechanism!).
The
best way to explain the latter is that, when stressed out beyond the
norm, my mind will go to happy places and zone the heck out to avoid
shouting from rooftops or rocking, for days, in a corner, petting the
rug incessantly and
wishing,
in vain, to become more life-like...
Like the rug.
Resilience.
Palos Verdes, California November 2015 LiveandGrind |
I've
been told it's called 'Resilience.' ;)
Um,
what?!?!
Never mind, my dears.
And, although at times I do daydream
of the idea of the fuzzy field of delight, always at the ready in the land of Catatonia. She is not on my
destination wishlist!

Why,
it is my surprising ability to cope with extreme, out-of-the-ordinary
stressors that has afforded me the opportunity to achieve so much
academically, sensually....
And, dare I say...spiritually? ;)
OK,
ya.
I do dare say.

And, arguably, more centered for it!
There
just happen to sometimes be surprises that life likes to chuck at
one's plate.
Or, not even quite surprises, but like, “What ifs?”
that appear to threaten normal life-planning...um, like,the harmless query,
“Where
do you see yourself five years from now?”
suddenly becomes a cruel,
perverse form of mockery.....
causing me (and, perhaps, others similarly situated in seemingly perpetual 'wait') to frown and (inwardly)
exclaim,
“Getting ahead of ourselves, aren't we?”
or
“How
rude!”

Damn.
I
am nothing if not...confusing...Right?
I
really do apologize, but it is actually the best I can do until I
find out how the % of certain properties in my bone marrow turn out.
There is no more to add to the aforementioned statement in the
meanwhile.

So,
as in life and internet as in home space and inner solitude, I can do
nothing but wait and wish for the
best.
I must also be ready to accept that, in the worst case scenario, it will
suddenly never be too soon to do some (early-ish) planning of, like,
funerary(?) rites (heh) or what have you.
Oh,
gosh!
Please
don't read too much into that.

Let's just not go there, yes?
I don't
even know yet.
And, conceding the fact that I don't know and continue to not
know what's good (or not-so-much) while multitudes of tests have ruled out nearly-almost everything under the sun just
increases the probability that, perhaps, I needn't be in a hurry to
'foresee' a gosh-damn thing at all!
So,
yeah.
There's
that.
For
the indefinite......indefinite, I'll just keep on truckin' 'til the
warning light
flashes
on.
I left my 'berth' with a full tank, yo!

p.s.:
And, yes, I WILL reveal whatever the heck answers I receive when I
know them, gleaned from the likes of those more practiced than me, medically-speaking.
Oh, some resolution in the form of, perhaps, one or more medical conclusions, or, at
least, more educated guesses.
Or,
if nothing else, more of what it isn't!
Like, for example, my forewarning to the xray tech(s) of my sub-muscular, axial silicone gel breast implants, but forgetting to mention (or even remember!) that I have not any garden-variety underwear on, but stripper-y, shimmery bikini 'stage-worthy' undies.
With a V-neck/dip, FTW (!).
With silver metal hooks and
chains on the sides.
During a bone xray.

I suddenly understood their increasing look of alarm.
'Hey, my apologies! But y'all said I could leave my panties and socks on!!!' **embarrassed chuckles**
My mind took panties literally.
And, more often than not, that'd probably be just fine.
Or...lol...well, you know what I mean.
Yes.

'Normal' people don't 'normally' wear panties with metal cut-outs at the hip and rhinestones and dangly chains.
And, if they so happen to do such, they definitely do not FORGET such a happenstance in so doing!
Yeah.
What it isn't!
Love you all,
Sandra LONDON

Happy BHM w/quotations from the Belle of all Others: bell hooks
"No black woman writer in this culture can write "too much." Indeed, no woman writer can write "too much". No woman has ever written enough."
"Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men."
“I want there to be a place in the world where people can engage in one another’s differences in a way that is redemptive, full of hope and possibility. Not this “In order to love you, I must make you something else”. That’s what domination is all about, that in order to be close to you, I must possess you, remake and recast you.”
" Contrary to what we may have been taught to think, unnecessary and unchosen suffering wound us, but need not scar us for life. It does mark us. What we allow the mark of our suffering to become is in our hands."
Wise words from an erudite Oracle, bell hooks
