All Alone Again ...

November 3, 2009 - 19:18

Hmm ... all that fuss to get me to write more often, because they read every day, just in case ... and no comments. Hmmm ... :)

Mom left early this morning. Despite all the maps she printed off, she managed to get lost. And then she waited in front of the building, when she finally found it, for a few hours ... because the landlady thought she wasn't arriving until tomorrow.

I shall have a good trip home, when the time comes, and break this curse!

The house felt strange today. Not so much that the presence of the extra person was missing, but the lack of extra noise was notice-able. Mom always has the TV on ... either on a DIY Designer program or on the satellite music. Doesn't anybody just sit back and listen to the world anymore? Reminded me of my Ex-MiL ... she didn't like the country because there were no convenience stores she could walk to, not many neighbours to gossip with, no buses, and the city noise was gone. Nobody knows why she was so gung-ho to move out there in the first place! Luckily, Mom is a person who finds trouble to get into instead to making it for others!

Enough of that though ... Dona is not allowed in these entries anymore. Nothing new-worthy there.

So anyway, Mom has left, and safely arrived at her new temporary place. Ripley has been watching the door since she left. He thinks she'll be back any minute. I think he's getting worried though ... he stopped facing the door and went to lay in the bed. She's late, I guess.

So I'm sitting here in the guest room/office, warming up with a lovely fire in my wood stove ... and listening to some music as I write. I'm wondering what I've done with my story lines because I foresee many inspiring nights of writing again. THIS is what I've been craving. this was something that Jade had unintentionally taken away from me. My best writing time is in the wee hours. He missed holding me and found the clacking of the board disturbing. Bye, bye writing hour ... and hello to the beginning of my slump. Not his fault really ... just a bit of a milestone. One I carried on my shoulders.

Moving on ...

I'm going to enjoy the challenge of living here on my own. Especially without a car. Tomorrow I intend to finally put my bike together and see how long it takes me to get to the Market/MiniMall ... Shouldn't be too long. Would be easy-peasy, if not for the hills ... we'll see. At least I don't have to worry about predators. Only deer, and one farmer's loose funky ducks.

That reminds me, I finally got back into contact with The Green Man! Apparently, his e-mail stopped working because he moved ... switched provinces, in fact. He's now only a few hours north of me, here in BC. Wretch. Here I thought he might have blocked me or something ... Missed his letters ...

Allison Crowe will be here for a concert! Wonder if I'll go ...

Guess we'll have to wait and see what the money situation will be like. I do know that there are a few movies coming up that I really want to see.

Such a lovely fire ...

Sweet Dreams!
