Beautiful writing, Drew! Yes, time to cut AC and open windows at night, put a blanket on the bed. I set today as a closing off and a new beginning. I drove my new-to-me 2019 Ford Fiesta 100 miles to the north, up I-5 thru gorgeous California farmland. I had to fight to keep her on the road. Strong winds. I needed to meet with Fr. M. for Confession and to talk. I’m a convert and old and crazy at the best of times. We both got moved from Tahoe, he to Orland, me to W.Sacramento. Fr. Ripperger, an exorcist on You-Tube, said Confession is good for closing things off. I promised not to complain anymore about my outrageous suffering in Tahoe — even if a VA doctor asks! Too damned many intakes! No, time to be happy and grateful today. I also had a past life thing to talk about. He was patient, but we aren’t supposed to believe in that. I was his big sister in the immediate past life. I became a prostitute when the family fell on hard times. Intense love among us. I felt it when I met him! Oh boy! There are two more sisters in this life — more feelings of love — but sibling love, not man-woman. I needed to tell that. He was in remission from cancer. I voiced some affirmations about God being the perfect creator. I am resolved to be grateful and live my best, starting now. After a difficult drive home, I sat in my chair and slept so deeply for 45 minutes, I forgot who or where I was. Until the heater came on. Trick or treat, dear ones!
