Clearing and cleaning a home you find out how much junk you have kept. I have a bad habit of keeping magazines and worse yet books. I always think there is something in there I will use. In my dreams.
So I clear and I am saving the cleaning for Monday, why start now and have to do it all over again. I am behind in the schedule at this rate. I have a grip on what the film maker's need. Basically I am doing set deck for them. It is a good start on Christmas cleaning. The best thing was when the partner asked would I make some I assume baked goods for the crew when they arrive. That was the icing on the cake. Sure and I won't use the expression the English use when they are given too much to do but it involves a broom! I am a holistic cook or try to be so baking involves a little more than just opening a package. Holistic is when you use ingredients that are for your health, like spelt flour etc. In this city that is not cheap, we don't grow our own. I will have to put my thinking cap on to figure this out.
It somewhat struck me it is like cooking for your offspring so they can take it to school! Give me strength. Like the classroom their are twenty-five of them.
I have been cut off my offspring and his partner's Facebook. Through a series of communication or lack of communication, as getting hung up on from a long distant call. I decided after a lack of response when I try to communicate with said pair. I started the ball rolling. I am a firm believer in ignoring you offspring from time to time that way they eventually notice you are not communicating with them. My friend and emotional support believes in cutting them off period! I some what agree except my three have chosen professions where school seems never ending and money is in short supply. Somehow or somewhere I feel this is the beginning of elder abuse, the more you give the more you get ignored. Saving offspring from their foibles is not always the smartest thing to do and really one learn from our mistakes. I think our generation of as we are called boomers, certainly heard that one from the parents.
In my travels and I have had a lot of driving this week as offspring three is doing mid term exams and for some reason I have seen at least two what appeared to be abandoned kittens. I also have an abandoned kitten who visits my friends house. I think we saw him a year ago and he was a beauty.
She is feeding him and her friend who lives on the opposite side of the lane has made him a bed. I did try to capture him when I first saw him but couldn't catch him. Tonight it was the university where I was parked near a library and looked in my rear view mirror to see another kitten running across the road down an alley. They must know where the food might be. I wondered if this poor creature has been abandoned by a student. I think I grew up with too many Disney movies! But it is still upsetting. Our Fred, old moggy that he is, I rescued from outside my friend's house in the country where people put their pets out. I hope that is bad karma.
Admitting, I have to admit today I actually told someone that I was heading into my sixth decade. A little girl was trying to run her mother's shopping cart ahead where I was standing and I said to the little girl you mustn't run over old ladies. I don't think the woman knew where to look so, it was worth it for a laugh. Fortunately I think I can still hold my own although I do have some granny glasses! I had a nail beautician tell me I should not where them. I didn't have the heart to tell her they were hand made and at that time in style!
When I picked up offspring the comment came that I looked great as my hair is very long at the moment and I had on a stylish jacket. That didn't hurt the ego, I must say!
