here it is, late thursday night, another week gone already....

it's now the second half of october, where does all the time go?

mom and jim are in florida for a family reunion with all of his brothers and sisters. i see from my missed call log on the mobile phone that mom called me last night again. i was sleeping, so i missed the call. we're having an aweful spell of heat and humidity in new york city these past few days...it came as a shock to me, as i left the apartment wearing a sweater, jeans, socks, shirt and real shoes for a change trying to get down to midtown for a meeting with my attorney....it had been in the mid to high 50's for the last week and half, which means, with my bedroom windows open and my kitchen window open, the breeze through the apartment has left the place chilly and very much comfortable for sleeping and bundling up in real clothes again.... that said, i found out the other day that while my apartment has great airflow and maintains a goodly chill, it's not the best predictor of how to dress for outside weather....

it's supposed to be torrential rain here tomorrow. i can hardly wait, that's always my favorite weather to sleep in or do anything else in.

i've been trying to visit my brother p.j. all week, but have yet to make it out of the city....i did manage to speak with him twice on the phone the other day and of course, this is the week he's home and available to hang out with me...go figure that i couldn't get beyond the doctor's office, the lawyer's office and bed bath & beyond to get into port authority so far....i'm supposed to go to new hope in pennsylvania for the weekend. my dear friend brad and i were going to a halloween costume party and pig roast on saturday night. so far, i've managed to not be ready to do anything halloween related, yet alone get my spare hair washed and set or any costumes/beads/bangles/etc. fumigated enough to wear on the weekend. now i don't even have time to bead and feather a pair of wings to wear over my underwear (always a hit with the new hope church ladies).....

i figured out what i'm going to do for a quilt for mom's sister, my aunt patsy...i've decided to create a quilt of "my green garden" for her. i know that green has always been her favorite color, and is mine as well, so i thought squares and patches of verdant, lush, mossy greens and creamy whites would be pleasant, soothing and easy to match with other jewel toned greens for a real impact on a simple quilt design...now to start cutting and stitching...i'm not so much looking forward to this part of the project...picking the colors and deciding what to call it was one thing...easy-peasy since aunt patsy always had a great garden, a green thumb and a thing for all those items in green...but the stitch-witch has left the building when it comes to my personal desire to hand sew and quilt anything ever again...after 3 major quilts, the making another one was really the last thing i wanted to do, but i MUST do it for aunt patsy...she needs it and she deserves it.....

more later.
