Shortly after noon local time. You are
listening to classical guitar on Calm Radio; this is after completing your
forty minutes of exercises. Carol is on the phone with one of her sisters and
Jadah just dropped from your lap to do some preliminary fur cleaning before her
afternoon nap. – Amorella
1209
hours. These thundershowers have been rough on Jadah. She becomes afraid and
heads under whatever bed is at hand. Spooky could care less about heavy rain or
thunder. Carol is feeling better after the cortisone shots yesterday. She
talked to one of her retired teacher friends who had a knee replacement in
December and just returned from a two-week hiking trip up into the Himalayas.
She is back to walking about ten miles every day she can. The woman is the same
age as Carol, 68, and obviously a bit more athletic. Carol just wants to be
able to walk a mile or two over in the woodsy park with its fifty-foot highs
hills and fifty foot lows into valleys – eighty-foot height variations. She
needs to get a walking stick, that’s what the doctor said. I am talking to myself
too much and writing it out of habit. I like to see my thoughts even if there
is not much there. I need to watch talking too much – repeating myself. It is
not polite, not even to myself.
This is what you were thinking last night
when you stopped writing – too much repeating yourself, like the older man you
are. Why? You remember how it was talking to some older family members, people
you love dearly, but the stories became much repeated over time. Now, for some
stories, you didn’t care, but others got to you. – Amorella
1231
hours. You remind me that some stories I could have heard for a lifetime and
not been bored. I forgot that.
You had quite an unusual afternoon. After
lunch at Chipotle/Panera you drove to the DXL - Casual Male shop at the Tri-Country
Mall area and bought a belt, two pair of pants, a shirt and a pack of underwear
and T-shirts then on the way home after a Graeter’s you and Carol went to
Famous Footwear at the VOA. Carol bought two pair of sandals and you bought a
pair of Tava sandals and a pair of Margaretville loafers.
I
spent 350 dollars on clothes. I offered to pay for my shoes out of my own money
but Carol still considers the money ours. I don’t. It’s hers and she can do
what she wants with it. Without her I wouldn’t have any money, that’s the way I
look at it. I hate money on principle. (1737)
Use your imagination, orndorff. Look into an
Angel’s eyes and say you hate money on principle. – Amorella
1743
hours. I can’t do it. I don’t know if ‘hate’ is the right word but that’s what
comes to mind almost every time. Too much personal security is based on how
much money one has. It is a lion’s roar of security not a human being’s roar of
security – I am having trouble finding the words. I am too practical of a man
to know where to look for the words. I know better, but I do not like it. So,
my imagination backs away from this Angel. I do not hate money on principle.
What is the color of these imaginary Angelic
eyes of you see? – Amorella
1801
hours. The color is clearer than the freshest of air.
You had cereal for supper, Carol had salmon
and plus leftovers from last night. You watched episode five of “Broadchurch”
and NBC News. - Amorella
2319
hours. I just put this on my Facebook page and opened it to the public. I think
it is very cool that we are all related.

You are on some these same branches of Our Family Tree. So, here I officially say, “Hello!” And, “My best to my many family cousins!” ;-) rho"
