I'm doing well. Though not in the mood to write about doing well. I've been knitting (Shelley's new scowl), walking the dog, working on the road (because the county is too broke to do the work) and visiting with neighbors. I met new neighbors this past Sunday. They invited me over for wine and horses-doovers. They invited the neighbors that live next to my house which I've lived next to since 1993 but never really talked with them much. We are out in the middle of no-where so the next door neighbor could be a mile away (or not).
I'm dealing with slight inner turmoil; drama derived from association with a family member who is dealing with a close friend who has a disorder. This disorder has caused issues though I'm still living life and keeping drama at bay as much as possible. This too, shall pass.
My client from Womencare died on July 3rd. I didn't cry but not because I am unfeeling. It's because I was prepared for her death. She seemed to not want to live anymore. So not crying for someone who wants to be dead made sense to me. It's a long(er) story. (boring!)
I guess I'm on a blogcation of sorts.
Watch, now something will happen and I'll feel compelled to blather on about it.
Oh, Hannah is here.
Bye for now.

Well, I did notice you were gone and have missed you.
The mention of your friend reminds me of a scene from the last Tyler Perry "Madea" movie. There is a funeral and Madea doesn't go. When she's asked about it she basically replies "Oh no, I don't do funerals. They dead. What's the point. I'm much more useful back at the house setting up for receiving." I immediately wished I could and would have the nerve to adopt that stance.
I'm sorry for your loss because I know it is a loss for you. I imagine knitting Shelley's scowl will help you work through some things.
I am glad to hear you've been keeping your hands busy with SOMETHING since it obviously hasn't been with the keyboard! I'm so excited to know that my scowl is being born, Corgi fur and all. :)
Turmoil is not fun, even at a distance. And I'm sorry about your client. I hope her passing was peaceful.
Oh - I have a similar picture on my cell phone of Paco and I, with him reaching out to lick me just as I snapped the shot. They love us, they really do (or else we just taste DAMN good).
I love your point about the death and not crying.
I can relate and while I know people rolled their eyes at me (behind my back. where it counts :))---I agree with you and knew/know it was SELFISH to want him to hang on any longer.
xo
I've missed your blathering immensely. Hope the blogcation ends soon. :)
Glad you're well. Obviously a lot has been going on, but not everything is for talking about.
I'm on something of a quiet spell myself, just turning out a few haiku here and there to keep my seat warm.
Anyway, enjoy your quiet(er) time.
Crying is not a requisite behavior. If and when you do, will happen as it is meant to. You were a good friend to her and that is the important thing.
The picture says it all!
