"Awwww, I was excited to show them to Mama."
This apparently never ends. One of my most frequent occurrences is when I am driving somewhere. I'll cross over the NY line and think, oh I have to call Mom and let her know I'm back in New York. Now after 7 years, it just makes me smile that the habit is so strong. Whenever we were on any type of road travel we were required to call Mom and let her know our progress. From time to time now I will have a particularly vivid dream with Stephen in it, and it is just such a joy to see him again. The times when the grief is a stabbing pain are very few now, mostly it is just warm memories.
A quote that rings true for me was from Rose Kennedy, who knew her share of grief.
"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
Started masking again today. Seemed like the right time to start doing it again, or maybe even a little overdue.
Oh, Matilda. My heart goes out to you. I’m sure your mother would think you new piercing is lovely.
So many people I know suddenly have Covid. So, yeah I was thinking now is a good time to start masking again
I don’t own a caftan, but I do own a few t-shirt dresses that occasionally double as nightgowns. I was thinking recently that I should buy a house dress.
I’m working on the old spare bedroom and soon to be office. So much clutter to go through this is our, “don’t know what to do with it so throw it in there” room. Right now the best I can do is make more organized piles so that I can then sit in one place and deal with one of those piles at a time. Otherwise, I’ll wear myself out.
I was thinking the same about masking, Tom. I was kind of delaying since I just got Covid, but who knows what variant I had and how long any immunity I built up might last. Blergh. I mean, not that masking is that hard, just...
I haven't started masking, yet, but I have made a serious effort to only be outdoors with the peoples. Anyplace that is crowded just gets passed by.
Staying near the airport and my murder pony, or going all the way into Denver proper? Also, jelly, as I am coming up on FOUR YEARS since last I saw Blucifer.
Murder pony all the way. He's never seen Blucifer and I'm a little too gleeful.
There are so many metaphors, but I did think that was a good one.
It rang very true for me.
Hmph.
Pleather pants don't breathe. Perhaps there will be a place for them again when I'm not overheated all the time.

I'm super super not excited to be getting on a plane in two days and flying to Georgia for all the Covid reasons.
oh dear ... a co-worker who sits near me had been talking to a friend of his about a James Taylor concert ... and followed up with the comment that he didn't know who that was. sigh ... he did Google the name, but still.
