Up at..7 something, no lollygagging about, Missy! Get that water going for the warm lemon water,
get dressed and HIT THE ROAD! That is
exactly what I did, too (I often listen to myself). I wish it were cool enough that these yoga-type
pants didn't feel as warm. I tightened them with a
safety pin so they wouldn’t fall as I walked (an actually possibility) and saw people were at the place I used to go
on Thursday nights before school had started and now look, school has ended and
they are coming out the door. Saw two I
recognized – spoke to one of them. He is
in real estate and suggested buying a house might by the best thing, then I said,
yes, yet I’d like to move to Europe in July, and he saw that wouldn’t make much
sense. Walked a little more, spoke to
some homeless men, then saw them trek up into the hill where they live, right across from my street. 
The next task was kale and egg breakfast and it was still no
better than when Jake had me doing it, but I know my taste buds will change 
I also had to get new collars for the pups, something to get this hair off of Mabi
and crickets for Violet. When I got
home, I sat with Mabi and brushed her and ohmygoodnessmercy, the hair that came
out...she has a ton of undercoat that the other brush just didn’t get. I really have to work with Annie on brushing,
too. She hates it and runs off or dances
to avoid the brush. Then..time to
pack. I’m tiring so much of saying that
and it sounds as if I should be done, right?
But what “packing” entails is doing this: Today, I checked the headlamps and changed the
batteries, recycled old, had to clean out with baking soda water to clean posts
and that took 20 minutes. And CDs…there’s
always CDs I’m burning to my iTunes
library. I’m only about 1/5 of the way
done. I don't want to move all this crap there...
Tanya texted, asking of I’d like some more boxes (she just
finished moving) and so fortunately I hope I am set with boxes. My back is quite pained, however..not sure if
I pulled something or if my ass is growing an upper-level ass because of my
little fruit problem. I have tried loading the
bus, and have a few boxes in there, but it started drizzling and Lizzie has yet
to have the rubber window liner installed for the windshield (I’ll call
tomorrow), so I pulled her in. I took pictures
of all the engraved glass decanters/snifters I have from my dad to sell. These
are from Europe and have been around a whole, but El Dorado County is not a
place where it’ll sell. Maybe I should
put it on Ebay? I made some salad and started on my homemade steak chili since this meat/plant thing is the way to go. I decided to use the last bottle of Swiss beer from almost 2 years ago which had been forgotten at Hipnic when I donated them. A few hours later I enjoyed a delicious chilisalad. It's tough to think outside the box for me but when I do, sometimes I love it.
A Dwight Yoakum CD was up, so I played some on Spotify as it
burned my CD. I thought of Brent, my
high school buddy who was truly a friend, much like Gio. I texted him as I’d emailed him last year for
his birthday yet had never responded when he sent his number. Within minutes, we were chatting and it was the
same Brent from high school. Hopefully I
can see him in a few weeks in San Francisco.
If not, then surely before I leave.
He is married and happy as punch, which is wonderful. Gio is happy, too. I love that. My two guys… Miss them.
