Notes - Spooky and Jadah / makes sense / working Grandma 19


        Just after noon, local time. You were out taking dead wood out of honeysuckle bushes and generally trimming in the area next to Lewis' driveway (where several trees were recently taken down. Air Authority is here for a cyclical maintenance on the central air conditioning unit inside and out. The heat and humidity are rapidly building for the day.

         1207 hours. Next week the city will be around to grind the tree and bush trimmings. I have more to do, but morning is the best time. We have been playing with our shorthair cats, Jadah and Spooky. We do miss Ellie even though she can be a pill to live with. J and S do play from time to time, mostly chase. Even though S chases J once she catches J she is immediately submissive. Spooky is in an adolescent stage and fun to watch because of her. Here are both at the top of the steps. I used the iPhone with flash to capture Spooky's yellow eyes but it turns out, at least in here, Jadah has yellow eyes also. In the natural light Jadah's eyes are jade green. The photo makes them both look spooky.

         You have a lack of experience too, boy. Your seemingly lifetime of notes show it. Very amusing. - Amorella

         This is probably because, most of life, I thought I was from someplace else. I don't know why but I did. Then when I had my DNA done I was brought to the reality that I am just like everyone else. This was very good to know because it never seemed like I was really supposed to be here.

         This stems from all those childhood stories about how you weren't supposed to live, as you were so small at birth and then lost weight, but you pulled through and nobody knew why. That's the way the stories were. They were happy you did, of course, but that was always a family question usually followed with, "You shouldn't be here, but are." The tone was always detached and reflective at the same time. No one suggested in the stories that you were a 'miracle baby' like people sometimes do, and that was all right as far as you were/are concerned. Don't you think that might be the reason, boy? - Amorella

         1224 hours. That does make sense. At least it's a better rationalization than I could come up with.

         You have chores to do. Post. - Amorella


         2217 hours. I have been working on Grandma 19 for about two hours straight and am enjoying every minute. I am stopping for the night but should be able to finish this in the morning.

         You had errands and chores concluding with half of a large Papa John pizza for supper as you watched the news then the first of the new "Rizzoli and Isles" shows for the summer season. Post. - Amorella
