It’s count down time.

Mixed feelings.

I can’t wait to get home but when I think about leaving…
my tiny heart feels like it might crack in two.
and I’m going to miss the ending of Eva Luna. Will that evil woman who
always wears the one glove get her comeuppance? and why the one glove?

I made vegan cinnamon buns yesterday. Of course I tweaked the recipe and of course they
taste like cinnamon flavored bricks but the day was perfect for spending in the kitchen. I also made lentil enchiladas. My poor Mom! I took pity and added cheese to hers. What a trooper! She’ll eat whatever dreadful thing I put in front of her with gratitude.

I’ve been playing with brushes on this little pad and learning all kinds of fun things. Here’s
one I call Deer Modigliani

It finally rained. Hard. No thunder though.My Mom had her surgery and all went well. She’s been wobbly butresting and healing nicely though she does look like she’s been beaten with a stick.I’m an incompetent nurse, I misplace her meds andpanic ( on the inside) when I think I might accidentally hurt her but she doesn’t mind,I sit and watch her novellas and she fills me in on the back story. Such evil women, bouncing ample boobage around in Fredric’s of Hollywood dresses. She told me about finding empty church offering envelopes under my mattress when I was a kid and I told her how My friend Louise and I would go to the Diner for breakfast instead of church. I don’t remember stashing the envelopes and wonder why I didn’t just toss them.So that’s how I roll.I dreamt I was kissing Lu on the lips.

because…….just look at that face!

I’ve had a headache since I got here. I’m more than a little sick of it.today we went to a thai restaurant that my phone assured me was excellent. it wasn’t that exactly but they did have barbies dressed in Thai costumes and my mom pulled up her shirt to show me how beautiful her bypass scar is. after that we went to get the car washed and she suddenly got r e a l s l o w. like a doll winding down. she was holding a half eaten candy in one hand and 17 dollar bills in the other and she closed her eyes and fell asleep just like that. that was it for our outing.it’s beautiful here today. big puffy clouds and a nice breeze, there’s been talk of rain but not a drop has fallen since I’ve been here.

Is it wrong to do yoga while watching day of the damned?maybe…Is it yoga if you’re just lying there?I’m finding it difficult to do more than that. Today we went to the cemetery to put plastic flowers on my grandmother’s grave, something my Mom tried to get me to do last time I was here. I didn’t have the heart to refuse her again though I honestly do not see the point of this other than it makes my Mom feel better. Afterwards she wanted to go shopping and again I couldn’t refuse even though I felt like I might faint. She doesn’t get out much.Tomorrow is going to be a long day.I’m homesick already. I think it’s mostly because I feel like a crap sandwich and it’s making me cranky and my mother’s kitchen is the most uncomfortable kitchen I’ve ever seen and ….I miss my furry beasts. especially the tall handsome one.

It’s been a quiet week.

Nothing but yoga, walks with Ms
Lu, sewing, knitting, drawing, watching Sci-Fi.
Dishes piled high in the sink, books and yarn and clothes scattered around. The bed left unmade.
No obligations.
Staying up late getting up late.
Doing whatever the hell I want and nothing I don’t want.

I’m soaking in it.

My sewing machine is ready to be picked up from the shop today. I have not missed it since it’s a finicky thing and has given me more fits than any sewing machine I’ve ever owned but at least it was really expensive.

Lesson learned. 

I have a cheap little work horse that does what needs doing.

This is my Scarlet O’Hara coat, or my Gone With the Wind Coat  fashioned from a bolt of upholstery fabric scored at the Goodwill. It also made some very groovy curtains.
