I took neighbor Lori to lunch yesterday, I did my bookstore fix on checking for UK magazines (none) I hadn’t already read, coffee in the sunlight at the table with another magazine, and then off to buy the dreaded shoes for the trip. I don’t know if I was convinced my birkenstocks would fail until today I took them out of the car trunk and realized they were cork and I would have been one of the rained on walkers fallen on my tushie in Brighton because of poor shoes. Apparently the sports store had moved a year ago and I didn’t know where it was now.
that is why I want to leave here, just plow ugly strip malls with stores with guns and camo clothes, hunting gear, and goodbye ancient Black Hills. South Dakota refuses federal highway money, ever since Lady Bird Johnson’s years, so the state can still thumb up highway beautification and put up more and more billboards, it is a travesty, whatever that means, it is close.
So I got the shoes and stayed awake til 5am, off and on, packing and unpacking in my head.
Thunder and pouring rain struck at 1 pm and I woke up to one great Saturday off. Just numb enough to open the suitcase and throw out more things I won’t need..that’s a good day.
HBO is on while I houseclean (yeah right), well I did do dishes, and Sean Penn as Harvey Milk movie was great. Now one of my favorite movies is on-Abyss, same director as Titanic, this is underwater. I love this movie.
Packages are delivered from the other day, the carrot cake is great. It is a spiritual day of rest.
