I got confused about that...why were they grateful? Also do you paint? What is your style? What do you paint?
That is so neat about the vet ambulance.
My vet is about ten blocks away. A golden safety net was thrown to me when Morgy died. I have a very close friend named John. We never ask each other favors. I debated whether to call him to go to the vet's with me with Morgy and Hammy but then didn't. The boys loved John. It was a snowy morning. Wouldn't you know I had walked two blocks and I ran into John...some miracle. HE WENT WITH ME TO THE VET'S AND SAID GOODBYE TO MORGY'S BODY.
if i understand, you wound up taking in the dining room set...that is so neat...in NYC they throw out really good things too and each area has a special day. Some people almost make a living out of it. We have great thrift shops. When I was younger I used to haunt them.
A couple of years ago I bought a lot of furniture on EBAY. All Chinese and Tibetan. Some have animals painted on it. I just adore the pieces. I bought them from the wholesalechinese dealer. He said ABC carpet, an expensive well known store in Manhattan sells his furnishings for four times what he sells the for on Ebay. Oh I also got a leather couch which Abby scratches and two Italian chairs..like Fornali(sp)unique....abby is going after the stuffing on one of them. Yuki prefers the wooden pieces, especially the altar desk and chair and the high Tibetan cabinet. I live for my animals and not for my furniture lol.
Restlessness is an excellent word. How can it give one so much discomfort it causes so much suffering. Isolating yourself I guess isn't the answer but when one can't concentrate on anything while it is happening, I find it hard to distract myself. Mild restlessness is sort of easy. I usually read at least a frivolous book a day. I follow the stock market. Now I am half following our upcoming elections but they are triggering me too much. I am an Obama fan.
Are there any comments about a woman and a black man running for president over there? I used to be a news junky and had the tv on 24 hours a day. Now for almost two years, maybe I have watched 48 hours total.
I too really enjoy our "conversations"...you are also a natural born writer....I can't believe your command of English...I don't know anybody who has a better command, especially with style
