I had been house-sitting
for about a months time and it was super sweet; Suddenly, I felt a comfortable sense of what it might be like if I were to live alone or live alone and open up space for my future husband or wife. Or my sister -- I asked my sister and she said she'd think about moving in with me if I found a good place. I've been peeking at what's available and tossed the scenario out to my parents, but we'll see what happens.
Just got home from work about an hour ago and my heart is happy: My parents are resting and watching tv. I diced up onions, chopped up mushrooms, and tossed in snap peas and made scrambled eggs gelatinously mixed together in a soy sauce mix and rice for supper.
Tomorrow is my day-off and I don't have anything planned for the first time in a long time. Yesterday night I planned on staying in and doing some writing and tidying but ended up going to the pub later to see my friend Jon play with his band, Bay Street Sound Collective. Bass. Hand-drums. Acoustic guitar. Violin. Closing song: Daft Punk's Da Funk. It was a quiet open mic night but it was perfect. Had a gin and tonic. Saw a friend, Jeremiah and we talked about art projects. After the show, I sat with the boys. My humble VW became the impromptu band vehicle, so here I was driving the boys to Bay Street to drop off their gear and such in the slight pitter-patter and it was a good night.
Days are brisk. It's sunny and cool. Stay up late, always wake early. It's definitely a good time for me to get back into writing, drawing and a bit of hibernating.
It has been a whirlwind summer and past few months, but I am genuinely content no matter the circumstances. I have so many fragments of unfinished writings, but all you really need to know at any point in time is I love my friends, my family, food and dressing up.
