Today’s Business: 2009-05-12
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Paid five of Mom’s bills today, including gas, garbage collection, and sewage among others. Tomorrow, I’ll balance the check books and five more bills shall be sent in.
I talked with [Ron] tonight, my long-time camp buddy. He’s dong well and was after me to start walking again. I told him that repetitive exercise bores me, but that once the morning temps get consistently above sixty degrees that I’d consider strolling for an hour each day up at the cemetery as I did with [Emmy] last summer.
Mom’s been feeling very good the past two weeks; great moods, coughing very little, and she seems to be sleeping better. The doctors adjusted her warfarin dosage for the next several days to thin her blood just a little.
One of [Emmy’s] friends in Harrisburg called this morning, wondering if it’s okay to discuss our breakup with [Emmy]. I advised her to follow [Emmy’s] lead; if [Emmy] wants to discuss it, she will. But don’t bring it up first. [Emmy] doesn’t like people intruding into her private affairs unless she specifically invites them to do so.
I added June and July, 2005 emails to the blogs.
Spent an hour journaling about my third place lived in, at 5545 Jackson Street in Pittsburgh, PA back in 1980. It will take several hours to completely document that experience, as it covered the breakup with [First Love], the graduation from trade school, the job at Pitt, and the little maintenance projects I did there to hone my home repair skills. I hope to record extensively about all my dwellings over the next couple months.
During my free moments, visions of [Linda] danced around in my head. My, how quickly and completely I fell. I still miss her. But I’m getting back up, dusting myself off, and am eager to attend another party in June. Maybe I’ll learn through attending more of these parties to be stronger, and not to fall so fast.
[Jack] left me a voice mail today, telling me about the next foot party in June. He says that it falls on his birthday. So [Emmy] and I are going to get him a Flyers hockey puck. He’s asked about what pucks look like. So we thought he’d enjoy having one of his very own. I told him that I’m definitely coming in June, and to get ready because we are going to eat some more Lucky Charms and just have a great weekend all around. Curious how talking with [Jack] eases the pain of missing [Linda].
I kept busy enough today to avoid boredom. All was well.
