Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

*Eat* I made crunchy peanut butter fudge. It tasted fine and set up great. My neighbor really liked it.

*Flipflops5* What kind of shoes to wear to Japan... if I get to Japan. I think something that would not have laces up to my knees might be wise! Like loafers...

*Cellphone* My phone balance is $55.88. That's $44 spent in 12 weeks. The pay-as-you-go phone plan is saving me money. Still not as convenient as I wish...

*Bug* Today they will spray the baseboards around the halls. Plus spray my bed and futon. We are nearing the end...

*Clock2* I've been staying up too late, been too stressed to properly sleep. I set two alarms this morning and managed quite fine. That's my good news for the day...

me:

I finally have my rooms set up the way I want them. Kinda... I liked reading on the futon/couch last week. Like how the plants are arranged. Like having my kitchen table clear. After the exterminator leaves I can put it all back together again. *Rolleyes*

My place has finally gotten back to feeling like MY place... it's been depressing... since Summer of 2012.

In other Snews... Hobie called yesterday and I answered (thankfully; it wasn't a day to use my phone). He had valuable insight in traveling in Japan. Like... don't go during Golden Week. Nara is great. Travel with a phrase book. Eat lunch, not supper (too expensive). Avoid August unless one visits the north. If I arrange to go I'll have to call him again.

I had a great chat with Debra on Saturday. She's my age and easy to talk to. She'd love to have a trinket (like a brush) from Japan as she once worked for a Japanese fabric design company.

Family is doing well. My mother is 92 and hoping to travel to my sister's this Summer. My sister is making progress with the family genealogy. Our great-great gran Julia McCarthy may have been born in May of 1844 in Tralee, Ireland. It would be so nice to have that confirmed before I go to Ireland... some day.
