I love not working. I can write as long as I want in the morning. I can go see the sunrise, and walk after, or not. I can just putz around the house, I can run an errand if I want. My time is my own and it’s wonderful. This morning, I ran to Walmart, and picked up some prescriptions. I made an appt with an endocrinologist not far from here. Then I came home, wrote a little, and then continued putting up stuff on my walls, straightening out some closets and shelves. Organizing, making it mine, but not under any pressure. No timetable. Time barely exists for me any more. It’s awesome.

This morning I was checking out at Walmart, the checker was a young nice looking black man. When he saw my necklace, which is a shell lariat I made a couple years ago, he just stared at it, and complemented me on it. I told him I made it, and he showed me a pendant he had on that he had wrapped. He asked what kind of wire to use, and asked me if I sell my stuff. Asked me if I made my earrings (Yes, I did.). I looked at his pendant, it was pretty cool. He said after, “I never let anyone touch this, but you were supposed to, I’m sure.” Which was such a complement! I said, “Well, I’m a reiki master, lets hope it was pure good energy.” He smiled and said, “that’s why you were supposed to touch it.”

What a lovely encounter, especially for Walmart! Kinda made my morning!

I don’t really know what I need for furniture besides a kitchen table and a tv stand. Maybe a cabinet to display my collection of Lenox China shells, and fishes, and flowers and birds. Once I get all the empty boxes out of here, and the ones I’m not opening yet, like Christmas stuff, put away, then I can see what I need, and where.

I’m going out to open mic night at the Mangia Cafe. My friend Pat, and her friend Beth, who used to sing the blues professionally, are both going to sing tonight. I’ve not heard Beth sing yet, but the word is that she’s fabulous. She introduced Pat to Beth Hart, who introduced her to me, and now I’m a huge fan. I’ll be the clapper, again tonight. 🙂 It’s such a laid back atmosphere. Not much drinking goes on, they are really more of a vegetarian restaurant, but they have this great outdoor space. They have a few wines and beers, IPA’s. I love balmy tropical nights. All I need is someone to share them with, lol. Besides my girlfriends, lol.

Here’s hopin’. Maybe tonight, who knows?

Love and light.
