After three beautiful days filled with sunshine, today is misty, cool and gloomy and I find myself a little misty and gloomy...and chilly. It's amazing how much the sun can change your outlook but I have just read that, "I am a child of the sun," which perhaps explains it. I'm currently watching Biggest Loser USA, Season 9, I think, and there is a contestant called Sunshine! She's a beautiful girl, she was when she arrived on the ranch even though she had some weight to lose to get healthy but I was thinking this morning, what a fabulous name! How can that gorgeous girl have anything other than a wonderful life with a name like that? Her Dad by the way is the lovliest man in the world and I'm wondering if he would adopt me.
Yesterday, I filled the last blank pages of my spiral bound notebook. This is the book I've been using in which to write to you while I'm holed up here in Starbucks and so, when I got home, I went on the hunt for more writing space. I found this old but pristine journal, it's comprised of 256, Made in China, acid free pages which are quite lovely to write on by the way. The journal is largely unused except for the first 70 odd pages which is filled with a transcript of astrological reports I ordered oh, about 10 years ago. The most detailed report is; "Redd Cayce's Past Life Report," and it's spooky how well Mr Cayce seems to know me. How do they do that? I think it's fascinating, anyway, among other things, Saturn is in my third house apparently, which is a good position for writers but I should avoid alcohol and drugs, damn it.
I had a horrible nights sleep last night, I'm having weird, as in... inexplicable dreams lately. I woke around 2ish and just started to drift off again not long before my alarm demanded I get up and at 'em.
Yesterday was such a nice day, I decided I would hang my washing out on the line, I love to hang my washing out, I know...get out more. In the winter, the radiators do a good job of drying things quickly but once it warms up a little and it's still chilly but not quite cool enough to have the heat on, the washing hangs around damp and useless for days, that is of course unless you can hang it out for a good blow! So, armed with several wet ones, I ventured out into the abyss that is my back garden to clean the washing line. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this? Before you think I've totally lost it, it hasn't been used for months and was all mildewy and weather beaten, anyhoo, I cleaned the line then hung out the bedding. It wasn't really warm enough to actually dry the washing but it was nice to see the white sheets billowing in the light breeze.
One of my favourite films is on this afternoon, "While You Where Sleeping." I love the line; "If you fit in my pants, I'll kill myself." Makes me laugh every time, hope I'm not spoiling this for you but if you haven't seen it yet, where have you been? I'm kidding, I can't talk, I still haven't seen E.T.
So, the clocks do in fact spring forward tonight, it seems to have been a long winter and I am more than ready for some bright sunshine. The country is in a mess but everyone should feel a little better with some sun shining, even if it is just an illusion and only temporary.
I've contacted another two places about stocking the jewellery but I am fast running out of ideas. Only a little while longer and I think I'll have to get a proper job, another or different proper job that is. Love you x
