UK Soon!

First of all I not so soon realized I needed a robe. Then I closed the windows, a memory of a sunny autumn Sunday,reading a book for part of the afternoon, a picnic outside with neighbor Phil, coming in to watch some baseball, and then jumping into the pilots seat and sending out some jobseeking emails. I hardly recognized myself in the signature and agenda filled information. It is redone.

I talked to Russ in Brighton. What a great son. He comes back to work at his graphic design company on a Monday and sees my emails of how to do this and that and add photos to this post. It made me think of  PG Tips tea and being there in a week.

I couldn’t remember the name of that tea, I kept thinking it was called,’patche’. Isn’t it a miracle how the brain works? and the body? I went into nursing to learn the wonder of the body, the brain chemicals alone are a mind blower and will this read more funny when I am awake?

I love Mondays, what’s to do? I loved hopping on my bicycle in Chicago and heading towards the bike path on the lake. I look forward to finding the same comfort in Brighton and it’s seafront at all hours of the day and Sunday afternoon walks to reflect the week.

I think there are two baseball games on today, Phil took his family to the airport after his mom’s 80th birthday celebration, I think I can try to talk him into cooking again.

During the game last night I sewed orange fabric patches of flowers on my brown suitcase. They all look the same when they come out on the luggage carousel at the airport. I am so far staying with the goal of one medium sized suitcase.

A year ago my friend Steve, who was a fellow DJ, came back from California to reroof my garage. He is a big angel in my life. We donated 13 bicycles to the adolescent psychiatric residence where I worked. The kids were happy on their rides, some kids even took their bikes home to the reservations, what a gift to give, not that I was patting myself on the back, I was happy for them and their adventures to come.

The radio show now is talking about listening, Gabriel Byrne being interviewed on Fresh Air about his role on HBO. He is talking about never going to counseling, but Catholic confession, and how people listen if at all, and then profound or pretend listening, silence………
