Adios, high school leather jacket!

The day dawned with CRASHES of thunder...I LOVE that!! It was a pretty good Monday...though I fear my "highlights" will appear pathetic in print. Namely, finally hauling off my 15-year-old leather jacket, that I wasn't happy with from day one, to the Salvation Army...along with my green velour J Crew top that was long past its expiration date. Sure got my money's worth out of it, though. And a couple other things went to the poor, too. Well, the OTHER poor...as i'm also poor. I also ripped up a calendar on my wall that depressed me every time I looked at it...pictures of trucks and cranes. Retrieved mom's calendar of exotic destinations to replace it. YAY! I've looked for work a lot, gardened a bit, hit ShopRite again. I know, nothing seismic in scale to the reader's eye. But I felt better. It was a lot of "little things" yet again. I realize it sounds absurd to say Maggie's death inspired me to throw out my coat!!!!! And a calendar!! But it did. I've been meaning to, but it just kept sitting there. I'd have done it anyway sooner than later...but it's those little things that are far easier to do now. Does that make sense? Yes, it does. **I don't think I mentioned that on Thursday evening, about 7:45pm, I went up on my roof for the first time this year. Maybe I did. It was fantastic, as it always is. One of the best things about living here. I also talked to Freddy again online today...always a pleasure. Tomorrow, the focus on self-improvement will continue. Because there's much to do!!
