I haven't updated in many moons, probably because I haven't done a lot of writing. At any rate, here's my life in list form.
I have a job. I ring up hardware at a hardware store. I like it. It's simple, it lets me leave my work at work, and I enjoy the customers, almost all of whom are quite nice. And I'm learning a lot about home repair.
Joe and I are still waiting for news about our puppy from the breeder. We're getting kind of nervous, but we're also excited to get it.
The weather is slowly getting warmer and the snow is almost melted. Soon the woodchucks will be out and I'll see more wildlife. So far I've seen lots of birds returning: robins, doves, and little black birds so far. My parakeets love this. We have not had any mouse invaders in the house yet.
Around Easter, we're going to Cincinnati to replace a faucet in my grandfather's kitchen as a birthday present. I'm also going to offer to cook them Easter dinner. I think they'll like that, and it will be tasty and they'll appreciate it. It's just such a long drive.
Last night a boy of about 12 or 13 ran away from his father at the store across the street from where I work and came into my store. We had to lock down our store while we looked for him and called the police. Evidently the boy has a problem with running away and he was quite difficult to the father, the police officer who came, and the store management. I am still upset over this. I know that there was something organically wrong with the boy. My guess is some form of autism, but I'm not completely sure, because I don't know him. Regardless, it bothers me to no end, because I know it's going to happen again and again and I'm almost positive that it's not going to end well. This incident sparked nightmares about my brother and all kinds of things like that. Sigh.
But the weather is gorgeous and some new music just arrived for me to try out. I can make that worth my while.

It is a challenge to know how to hold the problems people have with one another. Letting go with love can be so difficult. It's not, however, impossible. Love will find a way if we'll allow it.
Voir un enfant qui s ' enfuit et souffre de tels problèmes provoque l ' émotion et je comprends que tu aies eu des cauchemars .
Je suis content de savoir que tu as trouvé un travail , même si ce n ' est pas en rapport avec la musique .
Et je suis content de voir que tu es heureuse .
Amitié à toi, Emily
