I've been cupboard sorting today and found an entire trunk full of letters that I thought I had gotten rid of - I haven't sat and read them all, but I did browse through a few from those people I've lost. My beautiful Cheryl in particular - and although you never forget how much you miss someone, it does fade into the background at times - re reading just a handful of her letters - those we exchanged when we were both unhappy at uni, but still there for each other and still full of humour and stupid in jokes and little things sent and cards and throwaway remarks - it's like a gift - I feel loved and snuggled ♥
Other things I found astonished me - a pencil case full of ratty old Crayola crayons - that were probably last used in 1976 - why have I still got those?
I have been quite ruthless - old greetings cards, letters etc from those who are no longer important to me have gone, I have a few more cases to go through, and then who knows I may have a storage space that is actually useable for current items instead of old things.
I found my old child's weaving loom too - that's going nowhere though. I can't be that ruthless! I used to love that and it still makes me go "Aww" when I see it.
~~~
Today there has been much movement in my neighbour's house - workmen appear to be painting things, which suggest it is being prepared for another let - it also suggests that the last stink bag tennants damaged the property, 'cos it was only revamped just before they moved in.
~~~
I intended to restart my diet last week, indeed I had a good Monday and Tuesday, but then Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun I had social events that required eating out - and I have two more meals Tues and Wed of this week, so I haven't been overly succesful - Otoh, I've had a really nice week so far!
~~~
SPN this week was very good ( spoiler ) Next week's episode (I've seen no spoilers) is going to be so exciting!
Though - I stumbled across a vid saved on to my computer at the weekend and although it was an angsty vid (to Mika's No Happy Ending, I don't know who made it, I'd have to research), in the midst there was this interlude of happiness (to the "A little bit of love" section) and it was - the boys were so appealing and I realised - they don't smile anymore. And I know they've good reason, but I miss the happy.
I found it:
This is n't a gripe about where the show is, I'm loving it right now. More an observation of change.
