This was a rainy day spent at home, mostly. At the outset I had a good time getting caught up in a new podcast find-"Stevie Nix" is a UK music critic that has lots of episodes on favorite artists and albums, which dovetailed nicely off of my vinyl spins the day prior. And yes one of the albums played did include" Rainy Days and Mondays". And yes I did feel down, too, but more on that later. Of course I also found myself on a ladder clearning gutters in the rain. No matter how much I plan and prep it seems inevitable. in an almost comforting manner. I felt inspired by Jen's efforts today to thin out some clothes and did the same, aggressively. I set aside almost half of the shoes and T-shirts I own because they are never worn and not really wanted. It feels great. I still have double what I would consider necessary. Then I turned my attention back onto the garage and someof my own additional clutter. Like the two emates, for example. Why are they even here? I do not and will not ever use them again. I wiped mine and cleared them both and took photos to post them and other similar tidbits and clutter on eBay in the hope of getting a fair and reasonable price while also getting it into the hands of someone who wants it more than me.
Insight. I did feel moody yesterday, and today, too. I feel affected by a wide range of emotions triggered by friends, travel constraints, and not knowing what the year ahead may hold for us. I feel very aware of the passage of time and the knowledge that all that I really enjoy and appreciate is fleeting and subject to change. I also found that Linda's emate had some personal entries that helped me reinfore wanting to portray he with accuracy and empathy and humanity in the book. These are a treasure to find as have been others I have dug up. I'll be doing some more excavating tomorrow.
