THIS ONE IS MINE

Good morning from Ingleside!! I just woke up in what could soon be my new apartment!! Two friends of mine have rented a house near UCSF and there seems to be enough room (it's In-Laws apartment in the back) for me and my Dog Music.

The space needs a bit of work and a fierce cleaning but the rent Would be cheap and just what I can afford. Plus the pup would have a back yard to hang out in. And a place to have naked Bar-BQ's when the weather permits!! :-)

Details and plans are yet to be finalized but so far so good.

Today, I'll be heading to the bank to close a joint account Geoffrey and I had together. I'm glad I can take care of myself once again and do it mostly without help from Geoffrey. I allowed myself to become co dependent and that will never (I can only hope) happen again.

After the bank it's then off to the Doctors to get an abscess on my left lower leg lanced, drained and bandaged up. It's not the first time I've had one of these but it's been a good while since I had to be cut open.

Sigh..If it's not one thing it's another.

But I can deal because that's life...And this one is mine!

Buddhist Thought for the Week

I believe that words can help us move or keep us paralyzed, and that our choices of language and verbal tone have something—a great deal—to do with how we live our lives and whom we end up speaking with and hearing; and that we can deflect words, by trivialization, of course, but also by ritualized respect, or we can let them enter our souls and mix with the juices of our minds.
