My neighbors down the road were having a fire. The boys (actually men older than me) keep an eye on the older lady (she's 77 but she really can take care of herself, they're just all friends and keep an eye on each other) and she knocked on my door earlier and invited me down to the fire. So we're all sitting by the river with the fire going in the fire pit, making hot dogs, playing with a couple nice dogs, and generally enjoying the evening. It was nice.

Hanging out by a fire is awesome. I think it's hard wired into our DNA or something.

It's kinda weird. You might have ten people standing around, and you can't have a conversation for everybody talking to everybody.
Get that fire going, and all of a sudden, only a couple of people are talking. Everyone else is staring into the fire. ETA: Lawn chairs, riverbank, cheap cigar, a nice, fat doobie, a little liquid refreshment...Tonight, perhaps. Alone.

That's how the early folks domesticated dogs and cats, luring them in with fire. It didn't work out well with the giant moths, however.

This is sad on my Mum's part, but it made me feel so special.
Text message: Keep smiling as u look lovely when u do. Dad not coping well. Miss u more than I thought in your calm way of handling him xx Actually I think it was more my way of handling her, handling him that she misses, but I get that she might not get that. If you get me. Seeing Dani this arvo. Enough to make anyone happy.

Just waved Dani off on her bus.
Had to explain to here that she had pole position (upstairs, front seat). I think it comes under the heading of "Things Cherry has made up" along with all the various games I play. Anyway, the girl did good. Travelled for hours to come and clean my kitchen. I'm in a far better place mentally and emotionally than when I moved in. Having the boy with me, and having worked my first shift at work have helped enormously. Slowly unpacking and piecemeal cleaning have also helped. Having someone come and roll their sleeves up helped even more. Oh, and medication of course. Another mention for all the extraordinary help I've had from the Cellar. I don't know whether Limey shared my response to my house-moving card/gift with those who contributed. I cried so hard I had to go to bed. Okay, a good cry was what I needed, but how wonderful to feel loved at a time when I really was at my most vulnerable and emotional. I can never pay Limey back for the extraordinary kindness and organisation she showed in this most difficult of moves. And the most wonderful thing is she doesn't think that way, and will probably welcome me into her house in January next year. Oh and I had a nightmare that first night. Literally (by my definition). I was trying to scream in my dream, not entirely sure what noise I made in reality but it was enough for Limes to wake me up and reassure me I was safe. Priceless. Dana too, who has rescued me enough times for it to be boring. All I can say is when the zombie apocalypse comes I'm not leaving without her. And everyone. Everyone on the Cellar. If the wheel of fortune turns your way then it's probably coincidence, but it's certainly no more than you deserve. I don't wake up in a state of sheer distress every day just because of you. Thank you.
