Lifeboat pizza

2:08pm CDT Friday 5 July 2002

You have to leave your home and can only take 20 things with you.
What would you take?

That's the game I'm playing now. What do I take on my trek? What will I need? What will keep me entertained? What won't I need?

I've got all this shit in my apartment, and all these mental ties to it. Memories tied up all over the place and promises kept to people (I'll give this [book|software|music|unicycle] back to you when I'm done) and a whole pile of question marks in my mind.

And I've got this sneak preview garage sale from 4 to 7pm and then I remembered I'm going to yoga at 3pm.. Haven't taken a shower.. Oooky poopy bluh.

And then my other fear is that no one will show up. I trust that everything will work out nicely. I know Maggie plans to be here at 5 or 5:30. Maybe no one will really come until then, so I can get some more clearing/sorting/cleaning done before people arrive.

8:28pm

Yoga helped my peace. I arrived there 15 minutes early, got in a full 45 minute session. Learned a pose called Warrior #3 (I think it was 3), a sideways lean pose, and a version of Sun Salutation that is easy on the wrists cause my left wrist is still not optimal.

Stopped by Randall's and got some Ritz Bits crackers 2 for 1.

Arrived back at my apartment at 4:04 and medicated some by eating crackers to keep from focusing on my concern that no one would come. Crackers and soy milk. Mmmmmm.

Maggie and Kerry (sp) were the first to arrive at 5:15 or so, I think. Maybe it was 4:45, but around 5. Dennis came many minutes after them. I'm thankful that I could provide some shelving and desk for Kerry, books and a cat house for Dennis, an end table for Maggie, and CDs for all. So awesome.

Super wonderful duper special thanks to Kerry for treating Maggie and me to Star Pizza! We each got a 12" preceded by the baked goat cheese. Goat cheese. Mmmmmm.

Have just arrived back home from Star; I walked Maggie to her car and chatted a bit, told her how scared I've been and how much I'm learning and stretching. She drove off and I realized I had forgotten my phone at Star, so I walked back. When I came inside, I said, "I'm returning this pizza; naw just kidding..."

On second thought it would have been funnier to say, "I've got a pizza delivery!"
