I also have two books I have put off reading. One was given me by Haroldine - my Second Mother. her son was a BF between the 2 EXs. She adopted me and I loved her so very much. She was the Mother I never had. She and my favorite Aunt and my Mother all died close together just after I moved here.
A sad time.
The book Haroldine gave me which I have not been able to read - is "We Took To The Woods" By Louise Dickinson Rich, The Author and her DH moved to the
woods in Maine. She wrote after doing Morning Chores and this book was published in 1942. She has written many books about living the rural life of Northwestern Maine.
Haroldine love this book and now after all this time I will finally read it. I miss her so much which is why I haven't read it sooner.
The other book I bought for myself. The title is " Women Who Run With the Wolves" It is a ook of Myths and stories of the Wid Woman Archetype.
The author is Clarissa Pinkola Este`s, Ph.D.
The author includes myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over 20 years of research.
Now this one I can't wait to read. That I am more or less feeling "more normal", i.e., lots less pain. I want to get back to a more normal life.
Thus, I am becoming friends with the folks at the Civic Center, all of them are so welcoming. I want to make a number of small alum blueberry loaves to take on Weds to share. Luckily my attitude about cooking is improving. Changing my diet has helped me in many ways. But having women younger, older and my age, is what I have been missing for a long time.
Fortunately, my life is less busy now - other then the paperwork. Which is very stressful plus adding Charlies problems. Which is very concerning when he seems off.
But today I made it even busier as I have been doing tons of paperwork this last week.
I mentioned that I am thinking of hiring some one to come once a month and help me clean a room at a time. I will probably wait till May before calling the woman.
Charlie will have his vet appointment end of April or begining of May. It depends on what Chaos develops before then.
The wild critters were so excited to finally be fed peanuts and sunflowers again. Charlie and the Cats have been yearning for their treats. All are happy once more. Finally the pressure is off me.
I did buy everything from Amzon but I mentioned that else where.
I am currently listening to 'The Lark Ascending" by Ralph V Williams - it is glorious and the violinist is Julia Fischer with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. It is the most beautiful piece of music I know of. I love classical and Ballet but the Lark Ascending is beyond compare.
I just ordered the DVD for $18. from ebay - The Lyons Ballet & Orchestra dancing to Romeo & Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev, ahe is a Russian composer.
This music is intense and the ballet is beyond the norm. I fell in love with this Music & Ballet Corp in the 60's. Its fantistic and unusual. I have an old tape of it in storage but now I will have the DVD. I can't wait to watch it. 8-)
I have to admit to rearranging my bedroom today. This includes movng the mattress and box spring off the frame. OUCH! It was tough going but I have been adding things to my room that didn't belong there. Now most of them are fitting in since I had to move the bed frame - with attached headboard - over so I could fit in my Rocking Chair close to the bed and be able to watch the DVD or play my CDs.
I was able to unclutter alot. My desk is still in the same place but the card table now has leg room for when I sit at it doing the bills, etc. I moved a trunk that has legs under it, Fits perfetly.
Charlie's upholstered chair is by the door next to the card table. He has room to stand and look out the window now and not be in my way. The other window holds the AC is and he doesn't like the cold plus, there is no view. And Charlie needs to be able to see Deer, Dogs and people.
I made up my bed for spring. Even though it's be cold and rainy & windy. Luckily the sun was actually out this morning and I watched the sun rise as I walked to the mail. My neighbor and I exchanged Good Mornings and raved over the sunrise. It's been to long since we have had a sunrise. It was beautiful.
My K order arrived this morning at 8am. It was twice what I bought earlier this week. I even bought a dozen donuts made by Entenmanns. It's a variety pack and the donuts are not half as good as the ones from "The Big Donut" in CA. Good but not light and fluffy... still I won't complain for I can't remember when I last had a donut. They are twice the size of a mini donut. Still it was a real treat!
Now I need to walk Charlie and myself. I gave a couple of my Lidocaine patches to my neighbor as we use the same kind and she ran out. She has alot more pain then I do and we both use the 4 & 5 % patches.
Anyway, tomorrow Boy will be here to sign the form for the state plus take most of my trash. I am hoping 100%.
It will be good to see how his hand is doing. He has had a lot of pain which is why he hasn't been here. Plus he also had a cold, another reason NOT to come up here.
Well this is another long drawn out Epilog. Sorry.
Have a great Easter every one. 8-)
