Utah was awesome.  If you are interested you can check out some pictures at my blog ccnsc.org!

Just got back today - I'm in super travel recovery mode but hopefully I can get you some more pieces this week.

I have the tax paperwork all filled out, thanks for being patient on that one.  I was supposed to give them to you (and file them) before Feb. 1... you have until Apr. 15 with your normal taxes.  I think I have to pay a late fee now but I think it's worth it to do it the right way.

Let me give you a call tomorrow to get caught up.

Cheryl,

This is a message I sent on the Wright/ Ryan website.  I am going back to bed for a few minutes before I go to work.

I am hoping we can refine the contractor/housing/occupant relations. I get very grumpy when I don't get my sleep.

Angela:

This is a follow up communique per Cheryl/ Sherry that works as your receptionist. I called today about Dave and another worker affiliated with your organization. I am not contacting you to complain about their work, but the larger issue that occupancy (namely, my own) entails, to be fully serviceable in the trades, and not merely, albeit "efficiently" getting the job done.

It is my hope that for future reference, some conscientious consideration can be given to said occupant, if further work needs to be accomplished.

For myself, I did not enter sleep until 2 am, due to my work schedule. This morning, I got a knock on the door at 8:12 a.m.  I needed to find my clothes in a half awake state, to let your workers in.

I explained my delay, that I have only had 4 hours sleep.

Interesting, in a very dull way, your workers again knocked on my door at 10 a.m. to complete work that could have been accomplished the first time they woke me up.

I am not happy that your employees do not get the subtle jest of a pertinent conversation, and that I may need to extend myself further in my behalf, so that I can accrue an approximate RDA of sleep, as my work is important to me, too.

I do hope this message hits its mark, and efficacy can be part of your employees efficient vocabulary in the future.

I feel more comfortable assembling the table with you. Will there be a way to assemble without the hardware showing? I need your brain!!! and expertise :)

Yes, the car has gobbled up my incoming income, however, it purrs like a kitten, and should be quite good for quite a while.

My friend, Andy, has paid me to do 3-4 dozen t-shirts with the logo I created for him (Cafe Andropolis) in black ink.

I don't know what your time schedule is like for me to get in there, however, if you are interested in this wee job, can you give me an estimate and turnaround time?

I have the artwork ready to go, as it is something I have done for him before.

These t's will be for personal use vs business, as the logo is for his residence, and his kitchen where he cooks and has friends over.

Hope you are enjoying the weather!

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear you are sick!

I've had some emotional ups and downs, nothing big. Fell in love with the flirtatious surgeon (removed my lipoma), but I discovered he was just flirting with me, and not to take it personally. It did get me thinking though. I like the idea of security, dating a guy like that, a professional, that dresses in shirt, tie and jacket, and well manicured mind and body

So I am over that, but feel lackluster in motivation. I am disillusioned to discover what I want, and not trust that it is really legit. I am sure this has to do with my own mirror of my self, on some level...

Filed my taxes, and I get 29 dollars back. Feel lackluster about that, too! but at least I don't owe money.... I am just used to getting a more workable amount back.

Some girls at work and were goofing around late at night while we stock shelves. I came up with Camel Toe Cookies as a spoof, but there may be some grounds for a profitable business... I bought the domain to do something with later...

I bought an area rug and my apartment has a little cush, and it feels splendid / looks splendid. I'm happy about my apartment. It feels just right.

My drawing class has finished, so I have a little more free time. Everything is good enough, at the very least.

I have my last woven label coming, and will be ready to start prototypes on my little key pouch / wallets. I'm not going to wait to do indirect marketing. I'm going to hang them up at work and see if any one wants them. 

Good feedback for a indirect marketing, and I want to turn over some cash, because I think that is part of my lack of motivation. Now I am set up, I have creative ideas I want to fuel... So I have to jump in :)

Went for a 10 minute run today before I went to work, and I think it left me a little tired. My ankle actually feels better running than not, and the physical therapy has made it so that I don't hobble on my ankle in the morning. So, this free care has been really helpful and awesome to have.

I rollerbladed on the 80 degree day we had a few days ago, and fell on my well-cushioned butt, so I've got that, and a perverse raspberry literally under the belt.

Haven't started back to the gym since the move. I've somehow forgot my get up and go. It will be back shortly.

A few changes, settling into my new place: I drive thru the beggars on the street to my nice place, and it anchors me, knowing I get to come home to my place, that I like to be in. I'm thinking I may need a boyfriend. Sigh. Nice place, want to invite someone over. Speaking of which, if you were closer, that would be awesome to have you over :)

Since my schedule change, I have Friday's off and go to my art friend, Suzanne's. A group of arty types meet to watch films and eat food. It is fun and has been my weekly social outing. I wasn't too happy when one of the girls there needed 6000 to get her teeth fixed and everyone was soliciting money from her friends.

I grappled with that a lot, as she had a good job at whole foods, which she worked minimum hours there to get by, then quit the job. I gave her 20 and swore to myself I wouldn't do it again. I just feel on some level, given the chance (ie she had a job, and didn't have to wait 2 years to get one), to be responsible and provide for the day after tomorrow!

In some ways, these people are my reflection, responsible and not, and it tweeks me and gets under my skin. The uncomfortable reflection is too close to home. No wonder I feel instant love for a surgeon far removed from Joe's Smoke Shop (down the street) and the porn video store (across from Joe's) and beggars that ask for money as you exit your front door.

P.S. This move 1/4 mile down the rode has eliminated so much of that visual blight, of people not doing well. It is kind of nice. I am ok with not rubbing shoulders with destitution and smeared purpose in life.

That's about the latest. Went thru all my paperwork and got everything organized. Even ordered pics of the honie for my scrap book.

talk soon x

hope you feel 100%

I am feeling a bit better, not anywhere near 100% but better.  Slept again last night about 10 hours.

Oh, I wish I could come over to your place as well.  I’d eat lots of lobster and we’d toast with champagne.

It is not only a good thing but really necessary that we are grateful for what we have in our lives and that we consciously make room for more of that good stuff.  What you wrote about driving through the beggars and feeling good about going to your place that you like is a good thing.  You need to feel good about it.  You need to remind yourself regularly that you are moving forward and you are in a good place right now.  Doesn’t mean it can’t get better, just means it’s good and better than it was.  All this reinforces good things in your subconscious.  We so often get wrapped up in our everyday problems and stresses and then we forget to be grateful for who we are and where we are.

I agree with you about the chick and the money to get her teeth fixed.  Not right.  One of my pet peeves.  People who take it easy, quit a job or work short hours because they want to take it easy and then depend on others to foot their bills.

Let me see how I continue to feel and hopefully continue to get better.  It’s been a long time not feeling well and I’m tired of it.  My daughter hopefully comes in on Sunday evening unless the standby flights are full and then who knows how long it will take.  But if things go well, I’ll be picking her up around 6 PM on Sunday.  Maybe you and I can do our session on Sunday or even if we don’t do that, maybe we can at least talk a bit.  It’s good to talk things out, you know.  Gives clarity to some things.

I can understand being sick and tired of being sick and tired.  :(

Thanks for the thoughts of reinforcement. I think because I have arrived at a new status quo, I have become a bit lackadaisical in my intent or purpose as I try to figure out what next for me.

An area rug that brings my room and furnishings together, centers my feeling of place. Also love the cush underfoot. Kind of feel like, now it is home and inviting and comfortable.

Hello!

So much has happened since we last talked.

Our reviews at work. I didn't get a raise. New structure, either you get a .60 cent raise or not. It was due to being written up for customer service (the somalian lady with the avocados). I got negative marks as a team player which I thought was fictional and made - up and said so. Libbi, the first mate under the captain (Tracy) reviewed me. She didn't agree with me as a negative team player either, so changed it. 

I do work hard there, and she knows it. Nonetheless, the value of customer service at TJ is weighted, and I understand that, as I hear customers glow about their positive interactions. I expressed that to Libbi, and agreed with her or the review, and said to let the chips fall where they may.

She expressed relief.

While I was in the interview, I felt I was losing control of how I would like it to go, and then I just decided not to control it, nor be emotionally invested in the outcome. The fact of the matter is, I am getting by on this wage, and it is never going to pay me exceedingly well, but can provide me sustainability to do my own thing. I also got very clear with myself as to why I work there, and this is because I like it.

---

I had an opportunity to write up a manager that was snarky and temperamental. Funny to be on the other side of the emotionally well-coifed side of the stick.

---

Moving has been overwhelming at times as I watch my belongings expand exponentially and get the  best of me. Still putting stuff in its place, however, I do have enough space!!!

My sewing gig has had a deadline as late, so while I was working at TJ and moving I was also sewing in my free time, then working and moving again. I have been very weary.

I started a class. Colored pencil. Thankfully, it is not even a block away. It will be a great grounding in color theory as I make color wheel after color wheel. I feel the burden of the assignment already. Trying to clear a path so I can do some home work ...

---

Tracy the captain got promoted!  Found out a few days ago. She will be leaving for Virginia.

Found out today that Libbi will be the new captain. She is a good boss, leader, and is very approachable and personable. Yeah!!! I find her much easier to connect with!

---

My shifts got moved up in the day, and I haven't been able to work on my place and get it buttoned up like I would like to, so I can start living in it. I'm anxious, and have been tired at work. Just trying to keep it together until my days off, although I am halfway thinking of taking a day off as my days off aren't enough (with sewing, class, and the wood project I have put on hold for 2 weeks).

Anyway, it's good!

Yes, love the place. I sleep better all ready. It is quiet, with a little white noise. No drunken derelicts singing off-key and atrociously loud cover tunes and picking fights with their self outside the window. I didn't move that far, but it is just a nicer part of town, and I am up 4 floors.

Did the art-walk here on Friday. They had a party in the lobby of my building and were showing student work. It is easy to meet and mingle. I feel very good about this place. It suits me. The loft/studio style and arrangement. I like coming home!

My plants are infront of the 8x9 foot window, ready for my boomerang table. I anticipate cooking soon, deliberately, from cookbooks and such, with a glass of wine. I haven't done this for a while.

A lot of things coming together. People at work have communicated they would like to do something together : beach, dog walk, skating, sewing, gym. movie, dinner... I am in a good space in Maine. I wouldn't have thought it was possible.

As for the session, Let me see where I am later this week. Saturday may be the perfect time to segue into living vs working to start living.

Anything new with you?

Hello Cheryl,

The heater in the bathroom has been fixed.

These others are small detail to note, but I thought I should mention it, because these apartments are so pristine.

I need to get pads to go under my iron bed posts. The people that fixed the heater slid my bed on the floor to get access to the vent in the main area. This was done while I was away.

The surface on the floor is marred. I am hoping it is mostly wax.

The other surface that I noticed that is marred is the white counter in the bathroom.  From a certain angle, you can see that someone used sandpaper on it on one 4-5 inch area.

Down the line, this non-glossy surface may change color.

Just thought I would mention it now.

(It wasn't me!)

Angela - how busy are you this month, and how flexible is Trader Joes?  I'd take you full time at $400/week through March 1, plus pay for movers for you up to $200 (I did Tiny Tims last time I moved, they were awesome).  I'm so busy, I'm going to have to start cancelling orders...   Give me a call tomorrow if you can.

Hey,

Just got this email. I can give away my days except for weekends as most employees work. If you have work, I will give away days. I can also schedule time off with about 2 weeks advance, sometimes less.

On the current order, when do you want it to ship in full? I can make this plus the other a priority.

Hey,

I am super busy with this sewing order and plan to sew fri and sat, then move the remainder of my stuff sunday from the old apartment and go to work from there.

These last couple of weeks have left me weary.

Nick, the guy I do subcontract work for, wants me for the whole month of Feb as he has so many orders.

Felt lately in my new space, that I really want a dog, really miss Honie, and still have misgivings about putting her down.

Lingered over my mother's death, but more in terms of, longing for what could have been but never was.

The place feels quiet and alone. and not warm and fuzzy. Kind of not sure how to go forward, with meaning, without my life feeling whole with a pet to come home to and respond to doing the same things I like to do outdoors ...)

Andy left a key for one of his girlfriends, and I don't like her. She is meek but in a fake reserved way, in a way to draw attention to her reserve. I find it vain and vapid and it really annoys me, and it really perturbs me when she moves my stuff.

I haven't seen her much in my process of moving. But I have recently. Trying not to pick a fight with her, but she is always there, and has moved in! I have one last load to move and clean. I told her I would be there Sunday (as my schedule allows), and asked her matter of factly, not to be there.

I find it annoying that she wants to clean up his place and do his laundry and all this motherly-mate stuff, when she has a perfectly good home that she has neglected, of her own. I can't stand that she is choosing her life expression as cleaning for a man, that has umpteen girlfriends. It really bothers me, and the feeling that I am being judged for not being like minded.

Maybe I also don't like that she was of an opinion about Honie being peculiar and worthless, while her own point of reference comes from aged-before-her-time stagnancy. I just  don't like this person, her perspective, opinions, definitely not touching my stuff, and her presence.

Ow!  She reminds me a bit of my mom.

Kind of pissed at Andy for putting this on me, as I pay rent to be there. Or did. Now Andy is sending me emails that Linda is not comfortable staying there. I let him know it was his problem and how she inquired about all the woman that have been over on his facebook page.

Am I spiteful? Sometimes I don't know why I do the things I do, except to stir things up?!

Andy only likes her if she dumps him. I've seen him scramble. I hate men like that. Stupid chimps. He sent an email trying to be all legit on me, and yet he would like to find a way into my life so I can be one of his girlfriends too.

Wacky, convoluted, just want to be far away from this. He forgot that he allowed me to use half of my deposit to pay rent once. He thinks he allowed me to use my whole deposit. Alas, this move may not be the last I hear from him. I don't like this situation. I suspect he is going to press when he gets back, and I will have to have my bank provide proof of my checks. I do believe I put a notation on it... other than that it is my memory against his and I Know what he said/ half. I don't want to split any difference if we can't reach an agreement.

I miss Honie. I am glad to have a home that I feel at peace in, that agrees with my good and efficient design sensibility,  plenty of light and privacy, advantageous art associations. My life really works on one level, and now I wish Honie were here. The 2 of us being happy doing things or just cuddling in the warmth.

I feel another dog would make me miss Honie less, but what I really want is Hon.

Still a little agitated, but strong and happy (and tired :)

It will seem a bit empty for a while, then you will start to adjust to that and enjoy it all the more.  I understand about missing Honie.  I know how I have felt in similar situations.  You cannot have a pet there, though, isn't that right?  Sometimes that just makes us want one more.  What about something else, something like a bunny.....

Maybe we'll be able to squeeze in a session next weekend.

I can have a cat. Starting to think about that, however I am getting so busy. It wouldn't do to have a pet now.

Truth, not being able to have a dog makes me crave one! And, truth,  the conditions I put Honie down will not be kind to me. I have very circular issues, which I resolve and then the unresolve peaks.

I suspect I feel a little aggression towards my former house mates, and being influenced. All in all, I need a whole way forward. A place for me an Honie, preferably that I liked, which is one reason I suffered that slanty walled room. It was cheap for sustenance and surviving.

And getting my car on the road, so Honie and I could run in the grass fields. That would practically make our life whole.

By the way, I am getting my car fixed. It was towed Friday. I wait to hear if it will be worth it  to repair or not.

Anyway, I am in a better position with self-sufficiency, and in a fine place that feeds me artistically and I want to call home. I regret I couldn't bring this together with Honie, or have faith to suss out another way.

There was a woman I met at the post office. She loved Honie. I have since seen her at TJ and she wants me to give her a call. She has a dog. She has a big heart. I just didn't trust that anyone else would care to care for Honie, particularly since she was blind.

But, I think back, and perhaps there would have been a way forward. With me moving into this place, and maybe that woman housing Honie, and I could scoop her up every day in my wee car and take her to the park / the best quality time.

It still kills me how much she enjoyed the park the day I put her down. She LOVES it, and it was Our thing.

And, it kills me to, that morning, her staring and me and engaging me with foot stammers and tail wagging in anticipation of this day ... and then climbing very insistently to sit in my lap.

She is very special to me, and I can't help but feel I wronged her, by being weak in this economy and how I feel about faith in other people ie hope in a way forward that would break that stagnancy of us living there.

My life gets to go forward here. I just wish I would-could have put it together whollistically with foresight, and clarity.

I feel bad about my roommate initiating the first damage by leaving the door open so she could stay out 24/7 and have her first stroke.

What a fucking jerk. He never said he was sorry.

Actually, I am angry now. I was in survival mode then, and taking my cue from him as per emotional response. I'm pretty angry about that scenario. Linda was there, the woman that is staying there now 24/7 while he is away.

I'm not too happy with her by association of that experience, looking back.

I understand your anger about Honie and I believe it will stay with you a long time.  You know I felt it was something you should not have done at that time.  But the truth is that when something involves us, we are in the middle of it and often cannot really see it clearly.

Mars is retrograde and that is forcing us to look back at things we regret.  I've been having a hard time with that right now as well.  It isn't easy or pleasant.  But it is important not to stay there.  We don't do anyone any good living in regret and anger.  So, give yourself a bit of time with them both because you may need them right now, then try to put them away and move forward.  You don't have to forgive your ex house mates, but you should forgive yourself.

Feb 9th I called the maintenance # and left a detailed message, including my apt @ at Oakstreet, name and phone #, and have heard nothing back.

Subject: hijacking

Date: February 18, 2012 2:31:40 AM EST

To: Angela Cook <xubrnt@mac.com>

Libbi,

I had the opportunity for one of the crew members to proselytize with missionary zeal the importance of the new and improved "safe" way to collect shopping carts in the parking lot.

The ceaseless hounding, to the crease in my forehead and beyond, seemed to be instilled as if by a message heard on High.

Needless to say, my reason as my spoken word, proved of no valor in such circumstance as dealing with a self-proclaimed and unmitigated "messenger" (of "god").

In the event that this trickle-down come review time, amounts to the "fact" on paper that I am not a "team player,"  or perhaps just willy-nilly "defiant," I would like to offer my thoughts and experience on this matter with my crew member advocating said safety policy, as I know he sits in counsel with you and other managers at Trader Joe's safety meetings.

Per the hounding to walk to the side of the cart, I said that it was not kinesthetically aware nor chiropractor approved.

I was told that I HAD to collect the carts by walking on the side. I was told to talk to Libbi. I was told that it was Trader Joes, not Angela Joes. For this I said to the crew member that it wasn't his store,  shaking my head at profligate and effusive empty-headed-ness, and walked off to collect more carts.

Call me a lone trumpeter, I never get confused that talking about the safety is Not the safety in deed. It is a common mistake for people that are not kinesthetically aware, and are much obliged by their ego that they are making a difference in reality vs just adding decor to the unfounded discourse of their own mind, blabbered prolifically upon others, when and where "opportunity" conspires, particularly as a value-rich add-on.

To the crew member, I said that I have a twisted torso, and that I see a chiropractor for a twisted torso. For as long as I have been going to a chiropractor, it is to untwist my torso. I can't think of an activity more geared for twisting a torso so that I can visit the chiropractor more often then walking to the side of carts with the objective to move them.

The crew member said that you/ I face forward, implying that no twisted torso was involved. I would like his comment to serve as the evidence for him not being kinesthetically aware, as even though the body is facing forward, the musculature is providing torque on the skeletal frame to propel the carts forward with the body. Used in this "fashion," the body aligned in this way is the wrong tool for the job. That is, if you want to use the body for other things, than being cruelly twisted to one side as a way of life.

My experience with said crew member while he moved the carts by walking on the side of them, and I moved the carts in the straight-forward and ergonomic way, is that he had exceeding difficulty negotiating the hair-pin turn into the stall. This difficulty was multiplied when customers with carts were desiring to exit the store, and others wished to enter.

I did take the opportunity to tell the crew member my observation, while he was in the thick of it and nearly stalled of momentum or any measurable applied force, that the method was working really well for him. For this he said that he was just the (relentless and myopic and self-unaware and dogmatic) "messenger."

A customer asked if they may have a cart. The advocate of "safety" and I presume "awareness" was unable to acknowledge or respond, so transfixed by his every  rightly- placed step and wholesome alignment of carts. I gladly gave the customer one of my carts from my stack.

Which brings me to a tertiary problem, which may instinctually and rightly address the center, and that is the subtle advocation of micro-management of every literal foot step, with a Christian Commandment's One-and-Only foothold.

I don't like it.

I do hope this is not what the Trader Joes experience is going to become for those of us that find our contribution and identity in the larger sphere of matters in this world, and not just in pressing our noses to the ground at Trader Joes (in the name and aim of "looking closely"  ((and -squarely-)) at things)  to make sure that other's in the fold are doing likewise. It seems like such an honest to goodness hijacking, and beleaguered waste to natural resources, In Deed.

Sincerely,

Angela Cook

Hello Ben,

I met you today with George, in the parking lot at Oak Street Lofts.

These pictures may clarify my skills and training in decorative plaster. I know of the traditional cycles of plaster application, including the many protective layers, however my applied experience is only in the last 5, or so, decorative layers.

My approach with this "cubed" project, (pic) is to turn plaster with ground marble in it, back into looking like marble, with texture and veining complete. I did have the chance to attend the international marble convention in Verona, Italy, and gained a lot of insight and inspiration.

Thanks for looking,

It takes a lot to make me weary, but it is only recently that I have started to live (and sit) in my place.

Glad you're getting moved in.  You sound busy, but some of it sounds fun.

You asked about my divorce.  I hired a new attorney on Feb 6 because

my old attorney was absolutely useless/worthless (there went another

$5350).  I met with him on Feb 15 to prepare court documents that were

due for a Feb 22 court date.  Based on a conversation he had with

Tamara's attorney on the night of the 14th and based on a settlement

offer my new attorney and I made on the 6th (the day I hired him!),

the attorneys think Tamara and I are close to settling and can avoid

court (heard that one before).  My new attorney recommends a 45 day

continuation for the following reasons:

1.  I will spend $2000 to $3000 on Feb 15 alone preparing for court.

This is wasted money if we can settle.

2.  My file is a mess and the case is all messed up (blame the old attorney).

3.  This will give Tamara a chance to see if she can refinance the

house in her name (buy me out).

I agreed to my attorneys recommendation.  We have a new settlement

hearing scheduled for April 16.  If we can't settle then, we select a

new court date.  It's a long process in CA. Money will be tight for

awhile.

Keep you posted.  Mike

Yes, I have been busy, and it has been fun, too. I did over-estimate the impact of moving, along with work and then class. It is hard to live in disarray, so even if you are living with your stuff (and it is not in its place), it still acts as a job unfinished, that you wake up with and go to bed to, until it is.

Your divorce sounds like a long, drawn out process...

Hi Angela!

Thanks for the file.

Is this going to be flat, no folds?

It looks fine, but there is one issue.

There is a brown color design around the edges, and when the woven labels

are cut, there is about 1mm error allowance because it tends to move when it

is cut, so it might come out to be off centered.  So, we usually recommend

customers to delete border line that are very close to the edges.

What do you think?

Hello,

Yes, this is a flat label.

I think I want to keep the brown scalloped border, however maybe there is a way to work with the margin of error by increasing the blue border to be just a little thicker, so that it absorbs the margin of error?

Does this sound like a workable idea?

Hello,

Glad you are getting some sleep under your belt.

I've been working a lot with contract sewing outside of TJ, which has been great because I got my car on the road, and got it fixed, again... and feel confident it is up to speed. It is nice to know it is operable, and I had the money in the bank to do so. Granted, I wanted to spend it on something else, but now my car should be taken 100%  for a while.

I'm kind of looking forward to getting my focus and ambition back, pre-economic downturn. I am getting a better sense of my independent self living here, and really can't wait to be owning this space I occupy and my life, more prolifically and to my liking.

Andy went to see the doctor today, because his spleen is really big, and they did tests. He will know Monday -- they think it is leukemia or myo -- something / where your bone doesn't make marrow. It doesn't sound like a good thing.

I was there at his house sewing, when he returned, and glad I was there, so he had someone to talk to, etc. This may mean, at  some point, sooner or later, I will need to have the means to get my sewing machines etc into a work space other than his house ie, if he passes away... it is hard to say. 

He feels his health has made a significant down turn in a matter of days.

Did you have a nice birthday, by the way? Did you do anything special / treat your self?

My schedule this week is:

angela

ps...

one of the crazy things that i have noticed lately, and i don't think it is a fluke, but more like i am not used to this as the new normal, is i shoot out of bed, make it, and start my day when the alarm goes off.

i wake up and pull the shades up and start my day vigorously, in the old way, where "up is up!"

instead of sleeping in, getting up to eat, and judging the time i had to be to work, take another nap or 2.

just feels weird and unusual. i have things to do, that i want to do. like this morning, to work on my color wheel assignment before class. i'm anxious to meet the day and get going.

This is all good!  I'll print out your schedule and keep it with me and get in touch when I know something definite.

My birthday was nice.  Tom took out Cameron and me.

Too bad about Andy, but good you were there so he had you to talk to.

I talked to him today, he seemed in good spirits. Went to the gym, as usual, and was meeting his brother's wife for lunch, whom he is close too, and she works in the hospital.

This sort of news, i imagine, could force you to live one of 2 ways: with desperation and abandonment, or serenely in the now.

He seems like he has good balance and support, thus far.

Ben,

Pictures and info continued:

This is a pic of prontomuro (sand in plaster) with tinted lime plaster, and embedded mica from Norway, Maine.

Bottom pic is an addition to a barn, that is a modern day residence. This is the master bedroom ceiling with cupola. I distressed and aged the ceiling to look like it was harmonious with the age of the original architecture.

Thanks for looking,

Angela Cook

Hello V,

I can take her to Canada if she has a passport, as a possibility, to the dentist I see there. However, this is regular dental care. They did a root canal on me, and it was a back molar with a curved nerve. Back molar root canals are usually referred to a specialist. However they did it for a lot less. An option.

Do you have a paypal address I can send cash?

Also, I applied to community dental at 640 Brighton. 274-1028.  It is a sliding scale dental care based on your income. This takes time to process your first appointment based on your paper work, and it may be just for x-ray, exams, and cleaning...

These may be proactive options to consider, once no longer in crisis...

talk soon,

a

Would it be possible to order needles from you, as I cannot find the size I need locally?

Thanks,

Okay, I found the other sheet and pillowcase, they were in one of the drawers in the hallway chest.  Are you coming back for the little stands and the chair in the hallway, or should I get rid of them?

Sorry you don't have the time.  There are two pieces of mail here, one from Post Office regarding forwarding of mail and one from Trader Joe's, looks like w-2s. I'll set them aside until I get back in April, unless you want other arrangements.
