Found something.

Found something.
Had a dream of her last night. We walked a riverside trail, she looked really able like when we were in our twenties. Then we walked to a mall. Uphill even. At one point I said to her, glad I can still hang out with her, even if it’s a dream.
Fitbit said it was about an hour or more REM sleep.

Revolving restaurant is closed today or I’d go for the occasion.
Roads are bobsled tracks where the car slops from side to side.
Maybe I’ll just stay here with you. It’s something I’m good at and for.

Went to the Thai place we liked. Still like. Listened to other people’s drama the next table over.
I don’t miss the drama.

A friend of hers (J) likes Lego and flowers so I gave her a bought but never completed Lego Orchid thing. She finished it today. Glad it found a home.
So much stuff here bought on a whim and forgotten the moment it made it in the door.
I should have done it with H.

Just sat in the living room and tried to watch TV. Meh. Sat with a music channel and let the birds out for a bit to get some wing time.
Cements my notion I would like a variety of different spaces in a living area. Like one of those apartments that have three side views.

Just had your second last bag of popcorn.
Remembered how you didn’t like to share it even though you’d maybe eat a third.
But I knew how rough it must have been in that house you grew up in.
Still might not ever eat that other bag.

People say music “saved them.”
No.
It just reminds you that you’re still here long enough to do the saving yourself.
