We are tweaking things now.
Yesterday I moved all the stuff for storage to the head of the
stairs. After work, G took it down. I set up the dining room table. We moved the living room furniture about six
inches away from the window giving the studio area a little more room. The coffee table became the TV bench, and the
camel chests now are side by side. That
sort of tweaking.
The truck is filled to the brim with more boxes to go to the
store.
“Oh, you can recruit Bill to help,” G told me with a
straight face.
Bill is a coworker in fragile health. I will find someone else to help unload
Grumpy.
G hooked up the printer yesterday while I backed everything
up on the backup computer. No, that last
essay and poem hadn’t been backed up. Yes,
I did read the poem in class yesterday. The teacher and I liked it. It’s very abstract, and the other students wanted me to add structure. Commas here and stanza breaks there. My whole life has been abstract lately.
Right now I feel as if I’m living a stanza break. It's just so calm and good.
I bought that mystery you mentioned as a Kindle version from amazon. Only about $4.00 or just under. It is a bit detailed for me, but since I tried to write an archeological mystery last year (and now it sits about 100 pages going no where) I am reading this with a cynical and over critical eye. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose apricots are amazing looking. I remember having fresh apricots in California and couldn't believe how sweet they were. I haven't seen them in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a stanza break. That's what I need.
ReplyDeleteTweaking can be fun.....glad you are getting to enjoy the new surroundings....
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds fascinating. Always rewarding to see a period from multiple perspectives I think.
ReplyDeleteI'll check on this one.
Nice to clear out clutter and settle into a rearranged life style. Just like moving again. And we know about moving hither and thither.
Congratuations on the poem.
I want some of those apricots. Always remind me of the Jacobean play 'The Duchess of Malfi.' Dianne
