Appreciating the Good in Life

Doing this thing called life and enjoying it, if I don’t listen to the news too much. Physically feeling good, better than I have in years. Winter is over, sunshine and warmth are in the foreseeable forecast.
Robert, the owner of the building I live in, has made it to age 84 with no immediate health issues. He does require eye drops everyday and an anti-viral due to the shingles a year ago that went to his eye. So get your shingles vaccine. I’ve had my first and waiting until I have a day or two to lay low after the 2nd shot. There were no side effects from the 1st shot but I’ve heard from folks and the doctor the 2nd shot can make you feel yucky.
Not too much news to report from the hotel I live in. Our house kitty, Brenda, became constipated yesterday. Thank goodness one of my housemates, took her to the vet to get relief since I am pet sitting for the next few weeks. Brenda is old, we think around 17, and really in pretty good shape for her age.
A friend of mine is coming for a few months this summer and will rent a room at the hotel. That will be fun.
Living at the hotel is such a good fit for my life right now. Very low rent, downtown living, even though it’s community living there is space for autonomy and privacy. A nice mix. My 3rd floor room is spacious with southern facing windows. I get my house and yard fix when I house sit. Presently, I am pet sitting for long time friends who happen to live next door to a house I rented for years tucked into a central quiet neighbor hood. I was touched yesterday when the owner who now lives in the house came out to say hello and mentioned I was her favorite renter. Again, it was the perfect little house for me when I moved back to Missoula in 2010.
My love of animals and babies has a place to go with a calendar full of pet sitting and babysitting. With mom’s permission I share with you some joy and the reason, my lips are numb today from going along with this little guy yesterday.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for reading.

  1. Oh, happy that I can respond via email because I haven’t been able to respond to your other source—password issues. You sound great, and that pleases me. Your situation does sound ideal.

    I’m hanging in for now, but I am increasingly getting weaker. Those muscles are atrophying quicker than I thought they would. Damn, disease.

    I always enjoy your stories, and it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Things are pretty different here at Baja Serena. Asa, Mayra’s son, lives here and runs it like a corporation. Even though they inherit my place when I die, they see the need to raise my space rent. In the last year, it was a $100.00 increase. I stay home much of the time, and my life quality is still adequate — not bad enough to throw in the towel.

    Happy that you’re happy and that I have the privilege of knowing you. You are a quality lady.

    1. So glad to hear from you! Sorry to hear of the changes at Serena.
      Sue and I see each other regularly and discuss coming down to see you. I’d like it if we make it happen this fall or winter. I’ll message you on Facebook.
      Love ya
