i want what everyone else seems to have
Not really, but sometimes I do. I wish I had streaming netflix. I hear about these shows that I'd like to see but I can't cause they aren't on disc.
Thinking more about my wanting of a little lap dog. Why do I want a lap dog when I have a bothersome lap cat already? Milo wants to be all over me whenever I sit on the bed in my room, like now. I need to keep him tucked under my arm and contained there just so I can type this. Every once in a while he will slowly reach out his paw and try to touch the keyboard.
Nancy and I sat in the car at Two Mile Run park yesterday and talked and had pizza for lunch. This couple came. It was interesting that we each had a back story in our minds about them. I saw her as grieving a loss of some sort and he was comforting her and Nancy saw their relationship as lovers. Eventually he went back to the car and got a selfie stick and they took a selfie while facing in our direction and the lake behind them. Then Nancy suggested they might be on a road trip and just there to see the lake - they take travel us-ies at all their stops. We see others in ways that we relate to, make stories about them that we have lived already or hope to live.
I talked more about my feelings about throwing things away and came to the conclusion that I don't need to throw things away - I could just consolidate that stuff, get it out of the workspace and deal with getting rid of it another day. That's kind of what I did last time I cleaned that area. Though while in the mindset of consolidation I did naturally make some giveaway/trash piles. It's all in the attitude. When I think I am there to get rid of stuff I can't do it and when I think I am just clearing a space I can do it. So today I am going to clear a space.
Last night Dave and I drove over to Clarion with Rossy and we picked up Johnny and Alison to take them to dinner and give Johnny a birthday hug. We had the buffet at Sakura's and shopped at Aldi's and Walmart afterward. I got 2 new throw pillows. The couch pillows that we have now have been in Andy's mouth too often. When he wants attention he likes to "retrieve" things for us. Shoes, my yarn, throw pillows, newspapers. You'll be sitting there and all of a sudden he will be there in front of you holding something for you to take from him. I can't get mad. I just say thank you and take it. But I have decided I don't want to put my head on those old pillows anymore.
