Wherever the wind blows

• Bought five new books, classics in hardcover. Started reading them immediately on the walk home from the book store. Mostly, I am comfortable with getting around however I have to, walking or riding a bike, taking the bus or light rail or rapid transit system depending on where I am or where I am going. Having books around helps entertain my mind during this travel.
• Selling off old clothes, thinning out the collection of what I have. Selling off old CDs, the ones I don’t listen to anymore, things I’ve had forever. Selling off old books too, the paperback novels of the variety found at news stands and drug stores. I have no need for these books I will not read more than once. Generally thinning out the collection of THINGS I have for money. A simpler life is what I am after. As long as I have my good books, my candles and my art supplies, all is fine with me.
   Still looking to get a job at Nordstrom. Will probably be working with a few coworkers from Macy’s. This is good.
• Waiting for various packages in the mail. My tank tops from Old Navy, a sweater, and a corduroy purse that is big enough to fit my essentials {Hardcover journal, book of the moment, several art supplies such as glue and scissors for journal collages of found objects, my compact, wallet, cell phone and cigarettes}. Also looking forward to pocket watch necklace from Urban Outfitters, despite the fact that they have not even confirmed my order yet, I don’t think.
•  Been letting my hair flow wildly, how it wishes, curling and waving in all the wrong places. I don’t care anymore. 
• Went to the dollar store yesterday. Fleur de lis paper puncher, cheap frames I have already painted matte eggplant, tall jarred prayer candle, a small oil lamp…
