Oh, Insomnia... Wasn't missing you

Now listen here brain. It is very important that I get a good night's sleep. There are things I must do this weekend. My mother-in-law Alice is moving from her current aptartment and into a new one in East Sacramento. Much better for all of us. We both have accumulated stuff over the years and we are planning a yard sale this coming Sunday. Yeah, Yeah, I love yard sales. I am excited about this one (and possibly another the following weekend) Why is this yard sale so special?... well because Alice is donating half her proceeds of the sale to "our group." As for me I will be donating everything I can minus the expense of some money that must go into the repair my camera, (I miss my camera, it just hasn't been itself lately, its not living up to it fullest potential. Sounds Like a certain girl I know.) Hmm, now that I think about it I will have to have a pretty successful yard sale to pull that off. If anyone reads this, cross your fingers for us! I will have to get up early Sunday morning and make myself presentable. Please pardon my ramblings. It's late; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah; blah, blah, blah; blah; bblllaaaahhhhh.

Lisa from England I want you to know that last weekend I went to the bay area and spent time with a best friend and relative of mine Neela aka Michelle. I thought of you often when I was down there, imagined a certain day when you are well enough to come out for a visit. Girl, it will happen! I hope you are doing as well as can be. : )

Neela I had a wonderful time, I missed you so much and look forward to seeing you more often. Dino I miss you 2. I hope to see you next time I am down, it was my fault. I wanted to spend the whole weekend with Neela. We had so, so, so, much to catch up on. Forgive me? You cant stay mad at me can you?

Kizzy I had a blast on Friday and it was great to finally have met with Tammy. I will definitely be down more often. Half of my friends and loved ones moved to the bay! Then there is Steve Ganz who my husband and I would still like to meet. I hope you don't think me crazy. Oh hell I think I may be just a little bit nuts, but I am hoping its only temporary. ; ) JK, JK, JK, o.k.?

As my father used to say, "What the heck ten four over and out."

going nanners : ),

xoxo,

Lori

Your trip to see your friend sounds amazing, you can guarantee that I will have visited by this time next year and when I do we will have dinner and lots of fun. Stay strong sweet girl, I'm here if you need that shoulder. Lisa xx

Lori,
Reading your posts made me miss my birthplace greatly. I was flooded by memories - images of the state fair out at Cal Expo from when I was a kid. And the old state fairgrounds that we once lived by. And the schools I went to, the people I grew up with, the days without cares.

I remembered when I was about 6 or 7 years old, telling my aunt who lived in SF (and later died from colo-rectal cancer) that I was going to live in SF when I grew up. I did. I miss it. Seeing the GGB always meant I was coming home.

It's no longer home, but when things are tough, I recall those days. Thank you for helping me recall much I had forgotten.

Sending healing thoughts and energy your way.
