it is a sunny Saturday and I am moving my treasure to my treehouse attic new bedroom, and first day in the paper to rent two rooms on mail floor.
My friend Jake, a fellow DJ, sent me 7 cds of music he created for me and I am listening to them for the first time. I am in flow, blessed, and where I should be. Jacob Kleinschmidt the kids childhood friend, is helping me move furniture and was thrilled to get Russ’s old ghostbuster costume I made him, saying his nephew Liam loves Ghostbusters, still wears the uniform, even wore it for Halloween, and now it is too small for him, he’s got a wedgie going, but he still wears it! Jake said his daughter like dukes and I was able to pull out about 5 beanie babies pertaining to ducks or birds.
I found a good place for my clothes and coffee cups and stuffed animals and more and more clothes and coats-The Women’s Shelter, WAVI-Working against violence. I am glad it is going to a good cause. I take a huge laundry hamper down there every other day. hurrah!
it has been so cold my cat Sydney has been sitting on the cablebox to stay warm. I came back from a job interview (have to get some money in the bank before I move there) and I came back, she had puked by the cablebox but off to the side, but not enough off to the side, because I haven’t had cable since Wednesday, or maybe Tuesday.
Imagine me in my free time poking a hairdryer into the cable box to no avail.
so music, reading, radio and having fun poking around with my own thoughts and praying has been the routine. My dad had his 90th birthday Jan.7. He has been living with my brother and his family since summer. and Dad says these are his final days. He is daydreaming off and talking to my mother about repairing clocks (they collected old clocks, last count at home was a good 500). He told mom he would go into the basement and look for parts, but earlier said he always wondered what it would be like here……
I am so happy for him. We Hilligers stay sane and with healthy bones and we keep on walking and he is still telling me he loves me. As the Motown song goes, “that old heart of mine, been broke a thousand times……”
