In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Practice 

I've just come from the library. Doing work but not the work I need to be doing. Stalling. The house is just one big clutter room. I want less stuff. We don't have a lot of stuff and still I want less. (No Universe, I don't want a fire or flood or anything catastrophic; I will just give away some of our stuff.) Even the bowls. I'm ready to part with some bowls and with dishes. I bought more dishes in Mexico. What was I thinking? Must be some psychological thing about getting nourishment. Or wishing I was a dish. Or a bowl.

I kid the spinners.

Saw Linda Wednesday, did I say? She looks good. She's got some edema, but she's getting around much better. I'm going over there this afternoon. Everything else can just wait.

I went to the library after Mario's break to take care of some business. While on the phone, I got too hot (hot flashes or overdressed), so I took off my jacket. It was then I realized I still had on my pajama top. Now to be accurate—don't want to have Oprah after me—I don't wear pajamas to bed, but in the morning I put on pajamas or what they (whoever they are) call loungewear. So at the library I took off my jacket and there I was in my loungewear, just the top. My slacks were "real" slacks. I just had to laugh. Practicing being a bag lady, I suppose.

Need to make lunch. I have to say (again) that having Mario cook three meals a day for a month was really a joy. Who wouldn't like that? If ever I make enough money, I'm going to hire a cook. I'll pay her a good wage. Give her a place to live. (Have you read the book The Cook by Harry Kressing yet? Superb! And hard to find.)

This post is called stalling. I gots work to do.

Ta!
