I hope I don't have to give another public talk any time soon. We had 63 people at last count and I think that's pretty good since it had very little publicity. My face is about back to normal after I very nearly burned it off with that awful skin cream. One of my mothers friends came to the presentation. That was nice. The questions lasted for about 15 min. and after the tough qustions Dr. Kvach was asked last week I was a bit nervous but it went fine and I was able to answer all the questions fine. I had some things I needed to work on so I stayed. I guess it's just me and the ghosts archives ghosts here tonight.

Tis evening while it was still light I sat in m y tub and watched a family of red foxes run around the back yard. I probably should have been out there with them, running around or taking a walk, but I was content to rest my weary bones.

Ok, so today I went and bought this garish piece of german furniture called a "shrunk" (the maker) for the new bedroom. I plan on using it as a wardrobe. It was the last thing mother and I did for the addition. The Sunday before we went and looked at it and decided. We had a some really big laughs over it. I wish she could have been there. She was really great at getting the price down and haggling. I hate but I was able to et it for a little less since it's been there for several years. They said people were always afraid they couldn't get it in there house. See another reason to have a good reliable ranch style house. It's 126 inches long and the wall is .136 so that should look Taylor made.I have more thoughts but I am to sleepy and relaxed to do it now. My bath tub is so awesome, I love it.

I ran across this photo of me the other day and I gotta say I think its one of my best. There is really nothing like a childhood photograph to better capture true expressions. Mother always had me dolled up in frilly dresses.
I have felt so watery eyed and dazed and confused so often lately I feel like I am looking out of these eyes.
On the whole it was a pretty good day. Nothing mych to record.
Tonight I have eastern star. Kim and I have refreshments or I would blow it off and continue to work on the big clean up, merge mummsey's stuff with mine endeavor. good thing we both love dramatic furniture.
I hope none of the mean people are there tonight.
I am totally falling in love with this song and Tom Jones all over again. I have been listening to the "20th Century Masters the Millennium Collection - The Best of Tom Jones". Its really good. I like most of the songs on it very much actually.
Wow, it seems like I have been going and going today like the energizer bunny. Seldom do I get a chance to really start rocking and rolling on housework and organizing before I have to stop and do something or go to work or or or...it goes on and on, but after my little mini live journal melt down, I really found my focus at mom's, and still had enough energy to work on my addition.
I was trying to decide if I wanted to put a quilt on my new bed. They are so cozy and homey, these were made by my grandmother and great grandmother in the late 20's and early 30's. You can't really wash them lest you damage them. The best way to air them out to get the musty odor out of them is to lay them out on the grass. Then you can flip them over.

I should be out at the house packing up some of mothers breakables. Got a lot done yesterday but I had a few moments where I started remembering her and the soundtrack in my head was the music that is played whenever Sookie remembers her grandmother in True Blood. silly isnt? Life feels like a busy subway or a crowded rush where people keep knocking you about.
So Mike is totally useless to me today and I have several house to go out there and pack stuff up. I dread going it alone. What if I have another Sookie moment and no ones there to distract me. I really wish I was more emotionally solid right now. I have not had anytime hardly to spend collecting things without being watched, bumped around by lots of people running in and out, loud noises, nerves. In a way I envy Sookie that she got to clean up grans blood as one big act of morning. All of mothers little collections and prettys were her lifes blood. Those little idiosyncrasies of daily life that you find real enjoyment in. She liked delicate china and crystal and big gaudy jewlry and furniture.
Well I guess I better stop moping around here and get moving. I should be glad of some alone time in mothers space. The time for that is almost up and it will never come again.
I had a good day today. I think my friends are tag teaming with phone calls, emails, breakfasts, lunches, walks and talks. It's great to have such good friends.
Luisa invited me to go to a concert at the flying monkey and Kim was also able to go and we had such a lovely time. It was a pic nic environment. They were sort of a ragtime...jazz, swing band...totally my kind of music. They even played petite fleur one of my favorite songs. It just makes me want to grope somebody. It's such an amazing song especially with the poetry of Phillip Larkin. Then we walked around and it was just good simple fun. Here is a link to the song and Larkin.
Well it was nice to have a good day. One must take them when they happen.
I came home and had a soak in my new tub. For soak number 2 I lit candles and had pandora set onto stafford. It was so relaxing. You can't really stretch your legs out so I was a bit worried that it might not be comfortable but it really is,especially the way you lean backhand snuggle into it like a plush wingback chair.

Here is a pic of the band and Kim and Luisa. Aren't they both just gorgeous
