I don’t just mean the cliche’ here. I am trying to shed worry about things I can’t do anything about anyway. I am working on NOT imagining possible scenarios that MIGHT – but almost NEVER – happen. I’m concentrating on seeing the good wherever it might be and enjoying every moment of it.

I’m still working on two sketches today – one of an old woman’s hand (mine) and a church-steeple-spire building I took a picture of recently. If I can finish them today, I’ll share them tomorrow.

Yesterday afternoon there was a wreck in the street that runs in front of my building. I heard the sound and ran to the window to see a sedan type vehicle and a pink motor scooter with a girl on the ground. I couldn’t tell what had happened. The girl was able to get up and there was no blood. They both took pictures and moved their vehicles to the side of the road, and got on their phones. They were there a LONG time waiting for the police to come. A lady came to sit with the girl, and the two of them eventually went away in an ambulance. (I didn’t see what happened to her scooter.) The man was still waiting (I guess for insurance or possible tow truck) to come. I’m amazed that this doesn’t happen more often. This is the only wreck I have seen the aftermath of in the over a year since I’ve been here.

I’m trying again on getting my wash from yesterday dry, plus added to it this morning. It’s cloudy, with rain forecast, but hopefully I can get things done today.

Today is the day I get ready for my housekeeper to come tomorrow. (I will NEVER take this for granted. I have always done my own cleaning, but now am definitely getting too old in the tooth to get down on my hands and knees and scrub anymore.) I will change the sheets on my bed, put out fresh towels everywhere, gather and empty the trash, general straightening, otherwise.

Wow! Yes, with all the traffic there and crazy kind of driving, that’s amazing you have not seen more accidents! But glad these people didn’t seem to be terribly hurt!
Ah, drying clothes is tricky during rainy season, right?
I will be curious to see your new sketches, Linda. I tried one today that’s so-so. I will post it tomorrow.
Enjoy your clean home tomorrow! Lucky you!
Brian tells me the wrecks are pretty common, but I’m not seeing it right around here, though we still cross the street together…. Yeah, we had to wear our rain suits this morning, and it’s still raining a bit now. I’ll start having to bring my drying rack inside and put a sheet under it in order to do my undies and stuff until the end of October, I think. I’ve had my massage this morning and we’re spending some time at my place before we go to the cafe. I’m watching your interview in fits and starts. You’re becoming quite the online star!
Oh! Haha about me the online star! 🫠
I hear you about the drying and the rain. A bit of a hassle.
Yes, I bet Brian is right about accidents, but glad you don’t witness more!
All I can tell you is what I see and my perception of it. I’m really happy for you that you’re getting good recognition of your talent.
