Late Dusk. Tomorrow will be an hour earlier
after 0200 hours. You watched two more episodes of "Stranger Things"
while Carol was taking a well-deserved nap. - Amorella
1846 hours. She is making scrambled eggs for supper. Earlier we watched
a couple episodes of the twin fellows who sell and fix houses. Reminds us of
what's coming up for us -- though building not fixing. The prices of new houses
are amazingly high. We built our Ryan Home, a bi-level in Mason in 1975. The
cost for the home was $34.000. Last year we paid a little more than that to renovate
a hall and master bath. Our second house, a 1992 M/I Home was larger, also three bedroom, but we never finished the basement
like with the Ryan Home. It cost $174,000. It's supposedly should sell for
about $299.000 in this neighborhood since that is what the houses nearby and on
the street are going for. I don't like to think about the cost of the one we
are building, but the prices aren't coming down. Hopefully, when we are done
with it, Kim and Paul will make some money off it. We have saved all of our
married life. It is built in. Kim and Paul say we should have a good time and
spend some of it, or all of it, it's our money. It wouldn't be right. We'd be
uncomfortable spending money for no good reason. At our age building a house
nearer to them makes good sense. We do it for a good reason; it is certainly
easier for me at 75 and Carol at 70 then it would be for me at 80 and Carol at
75. We still manage our own lives. In five or ten more years that may not be so
easy.
Thinking about bed, boy.
Carol is upstairs reading. You had scrambled eggs and ham with a side of apple
slices for supper, watched this week's "NCIS" and last week's
"Blue Blues". Relaxing entertainment. You two remember growing up with
the radio shows, "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar" and "Gang
Busters". You like the same sorts of entertainment where hopefully the
good guys win. You already set one clock back, tomorrow you have both cars to
set back an hour. Most of the others are on automatic, just like time itself,
moving on. Nature doesn't know any better. Post. - Amorella
2112 hours. Nature doesn't know any better but for some reason a part of
human consciousness, innately speaking, the heartansoul, has the cankerousness to feel we
might just move on once we are rid of our physical selves. That's what is
complex about being dead. Some people don't believe it. We are a very strange
naturally created living creatures, believing, feeling, and then thinking the contrary. Personally, I don't know that I believe such a thing, sometimes I
have a feeling, perhaps a wish, that our species can be what we cannot. I
cannot help to think that it might be plausible that we outlive our natural
bodies. Hell, sometimes I think it is more than plausible. Why, because we are
built well enough to feel our hearts and our souls from time to time. And, then
we can set our minds to it. With hearts and souls and minds we have a way out of
here, out of this physics. A heartansoulanmind, a human spirit, is not physical
but it is what we are, intentionally or not. (2126)
