Notes - cats / contradiction

         Mid-morning. Even going into Grandma Eight there are name complications and this is throwing you into numbness because of Grandma Seven seeming character lineage success. – Amorella

         1020 hours. I have to work through this though presently these lineage complications appear never-ending and take a tremendous amount of specific focus. I need to stop and do my exercises then back to work.

         1119 hours. I completed my forty minutes. Yesterday saw lots of arthritic aches, mostly in my knees and hips, a few sharp but mostly dull and deep throbbing from the affected joint areas, thus no exercises. I assume the arthritic conditions were mostly from the local cold chilling weather. I wouldn’t want to be in Boston or New York.

         You are tired, not from the exercises but from being awakened by Jadah several times during the night, mostly because she was cold (paw pads and ear flaps) and uncomfortable. Thus she climbed up on you or Carol to sleep and in the process kept waking you. – Amorella

         1130 hours. This has happened several times the last few nights. She only weighs 7.4 pounds and is quite petite. I hope she doesn’t make a habit of this. The furnace is set on 70 degrees but our room stays at 67, which is the way we like it. Other rooms are warmer, particularly Carol’s office downstairs. Some of this is her need for affection. She likes to cuddle in. Jadah is a people-companion cat and we love her dearly. Spooky does not cuddle but would rather hang close, sitting in the same room or on the couch with Carol. I have been taking a quick nap after breakfast and it helps. In some ways Jadah reminds us of our days waking up in the middle of the night to tend to Kim during her early days. It is nice to feel needed so we don’t really complain about either cat. Both are soothing and entertaining for us. In her own way Jadah ‘mothers’ us too – always checking up, getting us up in the morning (particularly me) by ten after eight. And, she gives each of us an affectionate head butt at least once a day, sometimes when we least expect it.

         See, there was more in your head and heart about your cats than you expected to see in print. Post. - Amorella

         Late afternoon. You had lunch at Penn Station for a change, dropped the book to Doug off at the post office, and drove to Joseph Toyota to buy the Plus maintenance package that includes the forty-five thousand miles service; it was two hundred and ninety-nine dollar and includes all major and minor services. Since it is seventy-two dollars for every ten thousand miles service (synthetic oil, inspections, and rotating tires included) you and Carol think it is a good deal. – Amorella

         1717 hours. This includes other emergency services also. Anyway, I don’t know why you are including this because it has nothing to do with writing or character or any aspect of being a writer.

         It relates to everyday life, boy, at your age should be significant – in fact it is more significant than you care to admit – thus it is included. – Amorella

         1722 hours. I am not really that conscious of how much time I have left on this planet.

         Mind consciousness and the heart consciousness work on two different levels. The more you are ‘conscious’ of this, the clearer you are of inner distractions. – Amorella

         What is the real human focus here?

         To be a peace with one’s public and private self at all times unconsciously. - Amorella

         1728 hours. This sounds Buddhistic and Hinduistic.

         It sounds practical and reasonable as well as self-humane. – Amorella

         1732 hours. I can accept this, and I can accept the being at peace (harmony) but I cannot accept “at all times unconsciously”. This would mean, at least to me, to have complete control over one’s unconscious self. How could this be? If one has complete control then sheorhe is conscious of the unconscious.

         1743 hours. Using at the above definitions your implied statement is false.: “[One should work] to be a peace with one’s public and private self at all times unconsciously.”

         The ‘statement’ implied is for you, Richard. I provide the background on your unconscious. – Amorella

         1754 hours. These notes over the years show evidence of this so in context with notes and books I concur. It seems odd though and rather non-human in a very basic way.

         You and Carol watched last night’s “CSI” and another episode of “House of Cards” as well as NBC News Then Carol and you each had a bowl of cut green pepper, brown rice with ground steak-burger, corn and other assorted veggies mixed in. It was very good. As for your consciousness and unconsciousness you are quite human, boy, because I am here to keep you honest and aboveboard for the sake of your witnessing your own authenticity. That’s the sole purpose, and with this you write fiction so you can eventually die an honest enough man. All for tonight, post. Tomorrow you can complete Grandma Eight so we can move on and finish this chapter. – Amorella

         2141 hours. I am a contradiction.
