Hey, Miss J!

I’m at one of those easy and relaxed periods right now. I had a wonderful call with a friend and explained to her that I wanted to get rid of my old piano.

• That piano is part of my past, sure.
• I have beautiful memories wrapped up in it, yes.

It’s going unused though. It’s a wonderfully, beautifully old piece of display furniture basically. It’s doing nothing but taking up space.

If I want to play, I have a keyboard that I can plug in.

I had a fun day out with another friend too. I needed to return my hinge spring because that thing is far too big for the space its occupying. Then, I forgot that I’d bought two. My friend told me that I had bought two of them, but I thought it was a mistake in scanning.

I told her that I’ll check tonight, and if I see that I do have that part, I’ll head back to the hardware store and return it to Customer Service. I didn’t need either one of them.

The gentleman at Customer Service was so nice too. I’m not sure what I expected, but that wasn’t it at all.

I had to go to a different store about an hour out to get a new hinge that fit the measurements correctly.

When you’re dealing with old technology, you need to make sure stuff fits properly.

We visited one of the stores I used to work at and got stuff we wanted. I got snack chips, cos why not? I’m hammering out this post before sitting down to pen my list for tonight and tomorrow. Then, I’ll get to handling everything. Or attempting. Coffee might be needed.

There’s lots to do. I also want to write half of “Perspectives” tonight. At least.

No idea how it’ll go.

Famous last words, eh?

Medicated me feels fantastic… but I slept so hard this morning. I struggled to get up. Tomorrow, I have my rescheduled flu shot, so I’ll just take my gleeful yellow pills.

Strange how my pills have such bright and vivid colors.

It’s been immensely enjoyable to be able to smile so much. It’s usually difficult for me to have something I can genuinely smile about – especially if I have things from the past in mind.

I have to learn to push bad memories aside. There’s nothing I can do about what’s happened.

All I can do is move forward.

Here’s hoping these insights survive tonight.
