In today's news there was word of the not so great state of Alabama closing all but FOUR driver's license stations. I mean come on people! Who can drive hours to get to the DMV??? Adding insult to injury, they have a law requiring a photo ID to vote. Hmmm. Sounds like court time for you Tide folks. I woke up before daylight again, this time with tears in my eyes. I figure it's a process and I might as well let it flow now because life just keeps on changing. I went to see the mayor Mozella yesterday and gave her a B12 shot. Clara was there, stopping by on her way to see "the girls", her chickens. A long time county employee she is currently running for a vacant spot on the school board. I hope she wins!
The new neighbors had a lot of stuff and the lane was hot with traffic on their moving day. We haven't met yet but I'm sure that will happen. If I was a good Betty Crocker like villager I'd be baking bread as a house warming gift. Sadly, I am not. Just an old smartass hippie with osteo in every joint. Aleve is my drug of choice. An old friend stopped by yesterday for a visit and we caught up on what's going on in his world. His kids are living elsewhere with their Mama but they talk to him regularly. He was wearing a cross around his neck that L gave him.
Gigi is working like a maniac on her new house and I stopped by yesterday not realizing that she had locked herself in to paint. Next time I'll bang on the door ! "Our" pool didn't get used this weekend because it's too cool I imagine. There might have been some brave souls who jumped, but I wasn't one of 'em. I'm unwinding, so to speak. Letting out all those loose thoughts and regrets...small joys and big victories. Because why? Because I can.
