Just paid my phone bill.....so nice to have the funds to pay on time, as soon as the bill arrives, timely reminders of retail therapy or sins of the past. Sunny day inspires me to do stuff.  Stuff.  Clean, make coffee, boil eggs, pay bills, blog, listen to NPR, find winter clothes, store summer clothes and realize layering short sleeve t-shirts just doesn't make sense......

Have been working a lot, the Universe heard my pleas and made this possible.  What a relief, is this what regular working folk feel?  Bills arrive, no problem, need new shoes, no problem.....buy it, pay it, contemplate it.

Stocking up on some things just in case, when I lived in LA, I knew a woman who said she always felt better when her pantry was well stocked.  I understand.  Especially after reading how many more people are supplementing their dwindling food stamps with trips to their local food pantry.  I do my best to donate to the Chicago Food Depository, when my budget allows.  Once I bought a llama thru Heifer International and it felt amazing.....I felt so rich!!!  They've called me twice and it was annoying, the first time I had to explain that I just couldn't afford to do anything and the second time I had to explain that I'd already explained that when I can I will order using their brochure.  Their free Christmas cards have come in handy - I just doctor them with my own glitter.  Some geese or bees for someone's stocking this year?
I wish they'd find a purpose for moose.....I'd love to donate a moose.

Been too long since I've blogged, said goodbye to my dearest boy Sushi last Memorial Day....appropriate and grateful it wasn't a holiday I celebrated with abandon.
I meant to create an altar for him for Day of the Dead but the job was all consuming.  I'd planned to lay out some catnip, his favorite toy, can of sardines in tomato sauce, mints, tuna and a pork chop bone and some string and baby's breath and roses........miss him madly. 

Will end on that note, can write about the condo going up later!
