Today – reading and scanning papers
Today Wayne is reading to me while I scan papers. More later…
Later – So we decided that he can read to me at times when I am working (or vice versa) on chores or papers. I am down to about SIX boxes of paper stuff… some memories, some poetry and school papers, some junk and many journal entries. I am scanning what I want to keep. But I have a box (photos and memorabilia) to transfer to my daughter and an envelope of our son’s stuff that I will either give to her to transfer or mail it. Eventually more stuff for ex#2, including photographs and etc.
Interestingly, there is a lot of things in there I had forgotten about or had not looked closely at since I was young. I have a postcard and in discerning who it was from, I realized it was from my grandpa Oliver. It looked rather like a child’s writing, but I know he had some strokes and that can explain it. But I had not looked at the addressed part of that card for years and years.
A precognitive dream from 1998 about things that happened many years later in 2006-7 which turned out to be exactly true, including descriptions of certain people. I had several of those. I’ve always had precognitive dreams, and now, I’ve recognized my dear Wayne as someone who I dreamed about decades ago as someone I was talking to in a dream about “living together, separately”. And now… here we are. The only difference in the dream was I thought his hair was blonde, but in certain light his white hair does look blonde to me. That and we have a lot of “quinkydinks” about many things between us.
Oh and the man SINGS when he is doing things around the house. It’s wonderful! He used to sing in a choir earlier in life and wasn’t able to do much singing the last couple of decades (it bothered certain people), but *I* love it! So cheery.
I went down to the municipal building and turned in an application for a refund on my water and sewage bill with proof of the repair. Of course, I will have to pay the bill first, so I did that. The return will come as a credit on future bills. So there’s that. I had them check again to make sure of the fix and the water department found no leaks now. So that chapter is over.
I have been working on my “Poetic License” property in Alternate Metaverse and yesterday Wayne read to me some more part of the time as I was landscaping and working on the flower beds. I started putting markers out and locking down parts that are finished.
Since I go to bed about the same time Wayne does, I often wake up at similar time — but it’s still dark out then. So I’ve started using the time before the light to sort papers while he and I are talking and he’s getting his breakfast. We do lunch and dinner at the same time pretty much. And when he decides to wash dishes, I usually have a bunch too.
As for his recovery from surgery, he is walking with a cane most of the time now as the leg gets stronger. Doing exercise mostly three times daily and getting up to take walks occasionally when having been sitting. I should do the same actually and when he does, it reminds me.
We keep talking over things we would like to do and places to see when he comes to visit, and I will start to make a list. Sunday I introduced him via video to one of my friends – most everyone else has already met him. When he comes here, I am sure he will fit right in my group of peeps, and we will have fun.
In the meantime, I have started another box for the free store and need to start taking things I have around to the dump site, or to the free store. I have something to give my friend who runs it as well.
So mostly I am happily busy except for the “ache” which we both talk about. It’s hard being away from someone you love – and I do love him. How could I not, with such a cheery and uplifting soul “beside” me in my life? I was pretty happy before and now (when I’m well), it’s hard to keep me down quite honestly…
And with that, I guess I will stop writing and get some physical things done (like for the piggies and doing chores) until such time as his nap is done. 🙂
Toodles!
