i wish i could make some things in Neon.
It was an odd day. The day itself was very Beauty Full and Excellent but i was going along in an unusual space for me, i was wishing i had someone to Talk to. I don't know why. Ordinarily i am so Glad that i don't need to talk. But today...there was the urge to Talk...to say stuff, with my voice, to hear my own voice, listen for those places where it "cracks" because something of importance is being said. And i
thought about Who i might Talk to and realized as my Granddaughter has pointed out now and then,
i just want a clone of mySelf. And, i guess this is true. If i really wanted just someone to talk to, i could pull that off relatively easily. But that's not it. I want someone to talk to about the specific things i want to talk about. and that gets tricky. So the day kind of went along with this theme. And i kept looking at it. Closely. Thinking about just what would i want to TELL, if there were a clone here. I stitched.
both these are darker than they really are, but i do this in hope that if you double click you might see the oh so small stitches that are Holding Place. I think it's working. and the sense of satisfaction in putting them here is immense.
And then...the cause for Celebration. I'd tried to get hold of Travis, the young Certified Nursing Assistant, CNA from the old folks home, tried to get him on the phone and left a couple messages. And he called. He called AFTER having gone to the Old Cowboy's and HELPING HIM WITH A SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he called and it was DONE. he said that they had a great time and everything was OK and that OCB needs a cover for his toilet seat to sit on when he comes out of the shower and that they need some Eucerine Lotion for his skin that is in pretty ify shape and that instead of going every OTHER week as i had imagined, it would make more sense for him to go EVERY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh YAY and beyond............YES! He will go every monday and shower and shave the old guy's head and set the scene for whatever is to come. He EVEN will trim his toe nails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Trim his toe nails, which had me covering my face....oh! It can't get more great than this. It really Can't.
and so we are just going. This is what is so much HUGE goodness for now. And good and dear Old Cowboy said to him that this is the easy part, that it's going to get ugly. Oh Hooray for Old Cowboy to be able to say this. And he LIKES Travis, as i knew he would. And Travis is so used to people so much more lost than the OCB that he seems like a piece of cake.
So Here we Go. I have a partner. Between the two of us, i am confident we can do whatever is on that Horizon. We can Do It. o. just o and o so so great!
