I had one classmate when in gradeschool who liked to play with dolls and the only time I ever played with dolls was when I was with her. I don't think I saw dolls as creepy as much as just not interesting. But yeah, I loved my stuffed animals and especially my small plastic horses and soldiers and stuff that I corralled or built stuff out of modeling clay for creating grand sagas in my head. I should have written some of that down.
Oh I loved my model horses! In fact, the only use I had for Barbies was to ride them. My friend and I would create sagas about The Herd…it is fun thinking back on it!
That's not all there is there, task. The Cottrell Butterfly is just one crown jewel of the Houston Natural Sciences Museum which includes a world-class Planetarium, and 3 stories of all kinds of Science exhibits including a floor of engineering milestones shown and explained. It is next door (within a half mile of beautifully kept grounds to the what used to be called the Houson Zoological Gardens, which has now been dumbed down to being called the Houston Zoo, as near as I can tell.
The animals there are absolutely wonderful, and their cheerfulness just shows the respect Texas folks have for animals, wild and tame. Years ago, my aunt enrolled her girls in a horse riding lessons, and one weekend they invited me to tag along and ride the trails with them on one of the tamer horses, of course. Think my cousins and I were in the third, fourth, and eighth grades at the time. I'll never forget how beautiful it was, and I wonder if its still there, because I spend so much time at the Cottrell Butterfly House and the adjoining science display, not to mention the best gift shop in the entire world! Well, if you like animals and plants, that is. Last time I went there, the Houston Garden Club was selling butterfly flowering plants for a song, in umpteen beautiful colors in one of the spacious "halls" between exhibits and the Cottrell butterfly house/museum.
Thanks so much for the report, Gracie. Yes, I will keep praying for y'all.
Hombre and I decided early on that he would be the chief bread winner of the family and because for years he was transferred a lot I was the one who would start over and find a new job in every new town. Often I had to start out at low wages to get my foot in the door and usually got up to a good wage once I had opportunity to show my employer what I could do. But in there I had a couple of jobs I hated with a passion. Like you described I was almost physically it thinking about having to go to work. Fortunately I was able to find something else and get out of those jobs and get into something better. Sometimes that took awhile. So hope you find something you can enjoy sooner rather than later but don't give up. And try hard not to quit before you have something else to go to. Employers are often more impressed with folks who are moving up as opposed to those who are out of work.

Do you have a doctor to call? Or even call E.R. and see what's going around. If they haven't noticed any trend in your area you might want to get checked out just in case it needs treatment. Chances are just a short term stomach bug but you've not felt well in awhile.
