2. "The Shivers" - 26 August 2019
After noon. The men are replacing the ceiling in the kitchen area due to a structural problem corrected earlier. The end of the month and you will have owned the house for one year and the one-year warranty will be terminated. Other warranties continue to exist, one up through fifteen years with M/I Homes. Carol is napping on the bed, Jadah and Spooky, your two short hair cats are under the bed because of the periodic noise. You are in your black bedroom chair as usual. - Amorella
1227 hours. I don't know what's worth writing about. The news and social medias carry both the worthy and unworthy news from time to time each day. I will talk about our pets. Lots of people have cats and dogs. We have had both. Our first major pet was a pretty long hair cocker spaniel named Lady. She was named Lady because she reminded everybody older who knew her of the cocker in the Disney film, "Lady in the Tramp" back in the 1950's. She was a beautiful dog, at least she thought so because she loved to be brushed each day and ever so often we would take her to a very pet oriented middle-aged woman who would give her a bath and a coat trim from time to time. Lady was the cat's meow. As a family she was the only dog we ever owned. I remember her for her enthusiasm for living. When our daughter graduated from high school and moved over to Miami University for her Freshman year Lady was sad as a dog can be when a human companion leaves home for a time. Lady's great joy was when we took her along on the drive from Mason, our home at the time, over to Oxford. With the windows down, she enjoyed all the smells along the way, especially McDonalds and farms with livestock. Daughter was surprised and happy to be greeted by her number one four-legged friend. We loved our Lady and she loved us. Life is better being loved than not.
Old man, did you know love can go deep enough to be soul touched? mh
1259 hours. I know love can go pretty deep, but I didn't know it could touch your soul. How would anyone know when love was deep enough to touch their soul, Ms Havisham?
When one's heart of hearts becomes still and reflective, the soul shivers slightly. I know I do. - mh
1304 hours. I don't know that I ever got those shivers in return.
Sometimes those shivers run the length of the spine for no known reason, and sometimes a person looks around and sees no one else but her or himself but the person notes an unseen presence. Sometimes, that is one's own soul, still and reflective as usual. - mh
Post, old man, it's time to think about lunch. - Amorella.
Tom finished cleaning up about four this afternoon after his men repaired the ceiling and tomorrow they will be 'popping' a new ceiling in the kitchen, living room and hall. You had Smashburger's for supper, watched the news and another season fourteen, "Midsomer Murders" on Netflix for relaxation, then Rachael Maddow on MSNBC. - Amorella
2256 hours. We had a long day and a dreary rainy one at that. I'm too tired to write about our cats Jadah and Spooky tonight. Carol just turned off the light for sleep. It is difficult to focus on love or the soul when one is just plain physically and mentally tired. It is difficult to believe I am the same person this time of day as I was when writing about our cocker, Lady. If I have a soul where is she this time of day? She doesn't pop up, she has nothing to say.
Post. - Amorella
