More activity and less time

As much as I like to write, I’m finding I don’t really give as much time to it like before (him). My dear Wayne is as much a part of my life as anything where I live, even if for the time being we live apart. Every morning there’s his smiling face on my phone or computer and our conversations over coffee. After which we repair to one of our 3 chosen virtual worlds and work on outfits or he watches me landscape, or sometimes we go dancing – all the while talking face to face off world.

So there’s in world and off world… And offworld, we chat pretty much all the day – sometimes sharing a movie, sometimes music, sometimes an online game. We belong.

During January, I had been stuck in the house a week and a half since they plowed the snow right up behind my car and I had frozen ice and snow on the front steps and could not get down there. But I was fine, eating my oatmeal with peanut butter and a bit of brown sugar every morning with my coffee and then working on using up canned and frozen food the rest of the day. And of course Wayne was with me online.

I find myself letting go of stuff but not really able to move it much right now. It stopped being so cold, but today it is rainy and not a good day to be carrying stuff back and forth to the car. And since I woke up with Rhianna’s “Stay” in my head after 3am, I’ll probably be both too sleepy and involved with my bear to do a whole lot of anything – except I wrote a poem.

I should mention that I lost Sammy the piggie a few days ago. Wayne was with me online the whole time after I found Sammy sick with a respiratory infection, and even after Sammy passed. It’s sad. He was my favorite (and oldest) piggie and the one Emma would ask about most often. There wasn’t much I could do as he refused to eat or even partake of some orange juice. I held him until he passed. But I appreciate Wayne staying online with me even after it was over.

So today I think we will probably go dancing at AMV (virtual world) since it has been a week. Except for a little while yesterday when we were working on outfits, we chatted online until evening and then played Words with Friends and Cribbage. He usually wins at Cribbage and I usually win at Words – but both games are close. We seem to be evenly matched.

I’ve been sleeping in the living room in order to lower my energy bills and it seems to be working. I think it is bizarre to have to get up at 5am in order to use the cheaper kwh. But since I don’t have set hours (and Wayne is an hour and a half ahead of me anyhow) I’ll do it some days.

That’s about it for the moment. I’ve written a poem this morning and I want to post it and give it.

Toodles and blessings.
