Holy Shit! April is here! I am so glad I work well, well, best? under some pressure. It's my little fuck-you to the establishment; the universe at this point.
It's about list making. Another form of procrastination, maybe, I like to think of it as focused procrastination. :::bg::: then this will happen:
and I'll get to work!
I've got stacks and pages and scribbles of my talk at Life is Good, later this month... I'm ready to take a deep breath and actually create ONE document of notes, bullet points and outlined sections becoming what I share. I even have the little Mary Engelbreit notebook for the job. Found the perfect pen yesterday.
The car is CLOSE to being done. It's currently driveable, though Uncle Troy says there's a "rats nest" in the blower, which he'll remove and he wants to replace the waterpump before I go too far. He'll be registered, licensed and insured tomorrow!!! The first short trip will be to Summit, SD (3 hours north of here, just past Watertown), to rescue our belongings and tires from Hermione, say our farewells and see that Howard is broken in well :)
I have a son in a fragile space. He's open and loving and joyful and happy; more often than before. He's also much more open about his grief and his loneliness. I know that while I focus on getting us up and out of town at a non-panicked, calm and jubilant date this month, with time to do the extra stuff we want to do (like the imperative visit to Saylor!!) and still get home in time for the circus, I need to be kind and calm and joyful.
We're going nuts the next couple of months because we love it; because it's what we do and how we live. A couple of weeks of sunshine and great friends, (Life outside of the basement :) not to mention my all time favorite car-time with my boy, I think we'll be revved up enough to get our shit together and move it to our new, perfect home.
Here is my intention for our home. When we return (late April) our easily affordable, roomy, sunny apartment, utilities paid, will be waiting for us in the downtown area of Sioux Falls. Scotty has opened doors for me to bake for his friend Natasha's restaurant and sandwich shop. I will bake her some samples this week (she currently buys at :::wretch::: Sam's Club and would just love to have homemade things). I can use her restaurant's kitchen during the night, a'la Sunnyside Up --Thanks Mary and Jon for the inspiration!! I'll have the extra monies I need, with a flexible work situation. And I give back to downtown, support the businesses a fellow young widowed mother, and do what I love in the, well, all the time ♥ ♥
Today Scotty said he will ask Natasha if we can use her basement to have Amy play in May!! They host a lot of musicians through Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues -- maybe Amy should come back and do Jazzfest in July :)
So there. It all lines up somehow, in the typical diana fashion. At this point I have zero expectations of my trip. I have several route options available in my head ::g:: It's not gonna look like what we thought 6 months ago or even 6 weeks ago! It's gonna be so much fun!!
Life Rocks!
