April Showers

Good intentions started out the day. Going to tackle the task I havn't had time to conqure-the yard work. Raking, and dealing with the leaves from the fall that never got taken care of before the first snow fall.

Made SMALL progress on the backyard, prior to having a conversation with the neighbors, and a well received unexpected lunch date with Miss imyaj. The neighbors behind me, are the ones I talk to the most, and somewhat keep an eye on me. Heather hails from the land down under, with husband Blaine and Andrea the 11 year old esq. Great people, Heathers a little flakey, and Blaine-I just feel there is a story there. At any rate, Blaine wants to replace some boards on the fence that is mine, but also on their property. Took measurements, and went to homo-depot for lumber.

Now I Drive a 2003 honda civic, 2 door. That is what the papers say. Its actually a station-wagon. Don't tell anyone. Felt really butch buying lumber, loading into said station wagon, and then drove home with half of it sticking out.

Then the rain came in. Followed by the winds. Any chance of doing yard-work has been washed away. Need to sweep a few rooms, and get a chance to work in the kitchen. Still need to get groceries.

Finished watching "I saw the Mermaids singing", which was highly recommended by Allan. Great flick, a little odd, and I'm confused somewhat on the endeding, but there is a good point to be had. Independent films are the best. Incidently the title comes from a beloved poem "The love song of J. Alfred Profrock" by T.S. Elliot.

Kiss the Rain

There's Mr. Smile-across my face. He (the smile) came back, like I knew he would, eventually.

Laid down this afternoon, as the rain subsided for a few hours and the sun shone down on the bed. It was heaven. Slept on and off, laying on my comfort zone-the bed. There is nothing, and I mean nothing that can't be cured by the bed.

Talked to Allan, and we both had really good days. I miss him so. What I miss is the saftey I feel having him in my arms, his smooth skin, and his positive energy the leaps from within his soul, its a beutiful thing beyond description. Having lunch with imyaj, was totally what I needed. Some good old fashioned distraction with a good friend.

Managed to have a productive day. Hope to rake the front yard tomarrow if the weather holds out. Fingers crossed.

I always think back to those 2 seperate nights. The night in Pisa, and the night in Sospel France. Being in the middle of nowhere, and somewhat potentially dangerous situations, and knowing that I'm back on saftey ground..always makes me feel better.
