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…
This morning when I went to walk the Bean on the bayou, I was deep in thought – pensive about events, people, work, LaLa – many things were vying for attention in my mind. As I passed the LaLa, I thought – please let me in – and then when I got to the bridge I saw N with Renny. My heart lurched because I wanted to hug them both. Renny ran towards Arlene like…
It’s not the burden that weighs you down, it’s the way you carry it – so the saying goes – grace under pressure – that old chestnut – today when the Entergy guy got there and got out of his truck and said he’d be back the next day I almost blew a gasket. I called Entergy and turns out the person who took my order for a gas and electric meter routed my request…
Carpet ordered for the office – due in early next week. Countertops coming Monday to be installed. Addition has first coat of paint on it and hoping for another sunny day to finish the second coat. All doors hung except maybe one. Screens and shutters are on the to be done list. Electric and gas meters hopefully going in today. Certificate of ownership is not far behind – and then refinance – and move in.…
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time. – George Bernard Shaw When I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to have my own children and it looked definite that we would not be adopting, I got up one more morning and said why bother to save any of photographs or my writings. I had for years kept meticulous…
O – or Flower as I call her – sends me this today when I was having a little bit of a fit that I needed to call these people but my plumber called and needed me and I was pulled in 20 directions: O Klimi (11:58:07 AM): there is a Russian saying: work is not like a wolf, it wont run off to the woods
Up last night going over papers and trying to read my stack of newspapers. Dreamed of lying on my porch and watching crowds go by (perhaps leftover from deciding not to run the marathon, but to watch it from my porch instead). Up this morning to walk Arlene, then answer emails, then go rock Abby and see the J-man, then walk through kitchen remodel idea with L for her house, then back to my house…
I didn’t have time to put the flyers out today and so I had flyer anxiety – so when I left the LaLa I thought I would try to get some blocks done – I started at Maurepas and Gentilly and worked towards Esplanade – but it was already dark and I kept tripping over the Bean who was busy smelling all these new houses and checking all the pee-mail from new dogs in that…
A friend called getting ready for a date that she has reservations about – yuck – why does she like this ritual? – I don’t get the whole dating thing – everyone I run into on dates looks stiff and formal and weird – well, I like the weird part but not the stiff and formal side – another friend said dates are stiff and formal cause it’s like a job interview – gross –…
