I’ve learned that even gadabouts need time off – so this weekend I got some much needed rest and mental downtime – check, done, now, back to being a gadabout – BECAUSE Mardi Gras is here for godsakes! Not to mention, La Vita is opening for friends this week for dress rehearsals. And whirling dervishes are coming too – or so Moosey said. So this is what Mardi Gras looks like thus far: Saturday –…
Got a crisis SOS call from Javier that Pieri was there putting in the slabs and there was a problem with getting the sinks going in. I explained what we had decided that they would put the sinks in themselves because the clips didn’t work with the size of the slab and cabinets. What goes on that my carpenter is hysterical and I’m talking him off the ledge?
Just went over a list with G about a multitude of issues because I don’t know when this all started but it seems like everything and everyone I am dealing with these days is a cliché – including moi – why is that?
I called L late this evening just telling him about how disengaged I have felt from anything and anyone in the last couple of days – and he was a good listener and mentor – he said you are outside of your usual social amp and sometimes the disengagement and the detachment helps you get passed things you might not be dealing with during the swirl. We talked about the uncertainty of the times we…
Today has been a continuation of yesterday’s centering – I pretty much isolated myself into my world and yet took SOSs as they came – a friend’s father has colon cancer, my mother had a distressing call from my sister, my friend called that her paramour has, well how shall I say, stepped out of bounds yet again, and then there was a rat a tat tat of emails about a work situation that has…
I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day about how natural lying comes to children and how as parents you have to brainwash children into not lying. So if lying is such a natural human response why does it feel so unnatural – does brainwashing really work that well? The reason I want to know is that I have few regrets in my life but I’d have to say lying to Steve…
It’s around your mid-thirties that you start looking at where you are and saying huh? Which is why you will notice that your forties are when most people start thinking about making money in earnest because they realize they are going to need it or they get married and get busy having that child so they can have the family they wanted. Mid-thirties to mid-forties is when a lot of people take stock of the…
Here I was taking a mental health day and so I started surfing the television late last night after reading most of the day and lo and behold but who do I see but Terry B on an informercial for a church! Good grief. Years and years ago when I worked for my brother, Terry was his in house attorney and he and I would get each other’s coffee every morning – it’s possible that…
It’s grey and raining outside and even cold – kind of like winter – something us here in the deep Gulf South don’t like to entertain. I woke up thankful I had switched to soda water at Chickie Wah Wah – it made Pilates that much easier. After Pilates, I went and smudged the LaLa and ran some Lowe’s errands for locks and shoe molding. Then I came back to the Can where I have…
Last night, before I left for Swirl, I lay on the couch and tried to bring myself down a couple of notches – I was amping too high to go out because the outcome would have been gasoline and fire. It helped. I got there and pretty soon Swirl became the Ottoman Empire – so many Turks – all so beautiful – jesum, this one woman, Melissa (what kind of Turkish name is that?) was…
