The Littlest Things That Take Me There

by retrodiva on April 26, 2009

The weekend flew back with typical weekend speed. The weather is gorgeous – bright, sunny, warm on my skin – it feels like summer.

I don’t remember last summer. Derek passed away March 1 and I don’t think I began feeling much else until the end of the summer…thus, I missed that warm skin feeling. It’s rather glorious, I might add.

My truck was broken into last night. Of course, they only took the stereo. I just bought the truck in January – the seller mentioned the stereo was “nice” and well, whatever…It plays music, right? Then it’s a-okay with me…

A few weeks ago, during the Sakura-con Weekend That Would Never End I had the alarm removed from my truck. Seems the “homegrown wiring” was randomly shorting out the 4-wheel drive, the right blinker and – this is the biggie – the windshield wipers. Ever try driving in Seattle without wipers? Just say no…. :)

And so…it would make perfectly good sense that a few weeks later the stereo would be taken…However, I am not completely peeved – I have working wipers – yes! and no stereo to be stolen…So once I fix this now-missing passenger window – it should follow that I won’t get broken into again…

(And if I were writing a novel, that last sentence would be Very Heavy Foreshadowing…)

Is this how I got you to email me last time? I tried to email you after I got settled in Cle Elum and never heard back from you.

Tracy, where are you? You haven’t written anything here for months! Hope all’s well.
