Easter Monday

Sea and Sky

Well... Easter was a quiet and very wet. It has rained torrentially for the last 24 hours. Churches that had sunrise services locally would have had a very hard time getting things set up and having the service in the strong winds and pelting rain. It was cold too got down into the 50's which next to the tropical seas is downright frigid.

It was a day to pet kitties. Both Mak and Nani know that there is something big in the offing and have been attentive and cuddly. Unless there is a diversion such as a flock of wild chickens and their dozen chicks outside to watch. The chickens, in a rather severe downpour, flattened themselves up against the lanai screen and practically in Nanis face. The poor cat was delighted and terrified at the same time. Nani also spent the day watching a gecko that was inside the lanai up high on the ceiling area. She would sit and watch him swishing her tail and meowing in tiny delicte meows that seem to translate..."come down and play with me then after a while we can do lunch together"... We know who would be having "lunch" and who would be "lunch". Ms Gecko was not impressed by these arrangements at all and stayed put. Mak spent the day altunating between a chair at the computer table and in my lap out on the lanai lounger. Being near a warm petting human is his ideal of nirvana!

We have a LOT of stuff we should be doing but we have come to the place that we just cant do it anymore. I think the greyness and the whole thing has me bummed. Realized that I am letting go of a lot of material stuff and a lot of emotional security. For the first time in my life I will be

Homeless(sort of)
Carless (sold my beloved car saturday, Ive not been without a car since I was 15)
stuffless(in transit 6-10 weeks uggh more if we go to florida which we may have to if the house doesnt sell, no one is showing house in the crappy weather we have had most days in the past two weeks)
Catless (sort of, they will be away from me in boarding)
and horrors Computerless! what shall I do???

Woody just guffawed as he walked by..." Your carpal tunnel will ease up thats what" and of course he is right.

I am also bummed because I have not had contact with my Mom in over a week. I was beginning to wonder if she was in the hospital as she hasnt answered her phone when I call. Well I called Jeanine, her friend that is helping her and she said that she is healthy and at the home but her voice is no weak that when she thinks she cant speak she wont answer her phone, which is most of the time now. Knowing that she is a perfectionist and wont abide a halfway effort likely she ought to have the thing pulled out and spare herself the cost. I just think that she isnt turned to the right direction and cant get to it.....

I am washing and packing my casual Hawaii outfits and a second bag of warmer clothing that we will pick up when we return in mid April This way I dont have to lug all of this around Maui and Oahu and concentrate on...having fun... what a concept! and of course taking great pics for the edification and enjoyment of my readers.


Coffee Coffee and maybe I can get something done today!
