Subject: RE: Declutter and Fitness in early 2014
Been getting a lot of the final details for Tom's memorial taken care of. Friends are being amazing.
I realize though that I need to get this accomplished so I can start getting on with some things...or maybe just stand in a daze for awhile. I feel "stuck", sometimes not able to get out of my own way. Yet when I read my lists I can see the mountains I have been moving.
Just got a major kerfuffle regarding leadership of "the legendary Friday night Press Room Celtic/folk sessions" sorted out...turns out it was a misunderstanding, a matter of semantics. Good, clearing, conversations all around and taught a lesson in the difference of a word's meaning in the writer's mind with the possible perception of that word by a casual reader. The misinterpretation was made in print two weeks ago and will be corrected in print this Thursday. The conversations cleared a little air and removed a weight that was dragging me down a bit.
Have been having some actual FUN -- went to an old friend's house concert Saturday night with Jeri. Brought back a lot of pleasant memories of the Sunday hoots at The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH in the early '80s. And Jeri and I went to see "Winter's Tale" and will probably see it again on Wednesday (and then go out for a repeat of the steak dinner we had a few weeks ago). Last night after some scheduling difficulties, I took the putanesca and some fresh grated Romano over to a friend's in Portsmouth, and she provided the salad, wine, and garlic bread. We had a delightful evening of conversation, dog petting and, yes, dinner.
Been spending a lot of time on the phone lately...me providing talking therapy for a friend who needs it and several of my friends providing the same service for me.
Plow guy brought his tractor with a front-end loader over Saturday night and dumped a LOT of snow (building up next to and in front of the deck and next to the house) over the hill, so there's now places to park (and places to put more snow...).
GOT to go spiffify the house a bit (if the phone will stop ringing) before the Thrivent rep comes to tell me about my inheritance from my mother's annuity.
