Today I got my new glasses! Funny how excited I am to have them. I also told the first local friend about my upcoming move. She is the gal who took me to get the glasses and we've helped each other out a lot. It went well, telling her. I was a bit concerned because she and my cousin have been good friends for many years. All I said was "Cousin has given me a deadline of September 30" and she took that in and immediately started making helpful offers. She will take me to buy the new computer. And when I told her about my new project (the Ecosystem REstoration Camps) she said she has a friend who is doing something local like that on some land, and she didn't have much detail but promised to put us in touch.
Cousin was away all day and then I went out on my errand and when I got back cousin was already in her room with door shut.
Except for some uncomfortable physical symptoms, I have felt pretty high all day.

That's so nice - I am so glad she's willing to help you out .

Aaaahhh.... Well, update time. Still no clarity where to go. Couple communications out there though. One is a guy my local friend knows who she said "is doing something about community and permaculture on his land" but she knew no details so gave me his contact info. I sent him a kinda long email yesterday and waiting/hoping to hear back. Then today, the gal I have bought a lot of crystals from, who's become an online friend, mentioned that one of her friends/suppliers who owns a mine in Arkansas (where Sandra Walter just move to, that state) and is desparate for help, may have a cottage I could live in, etc. and would I be interested? I said I'd love to talk with this person, so my friend has emailed HER and is waiting to hear back, she says probably this evening. Now that would be some kind of turn in the path! but I am not closing the door, my concern is how is the mining thing going to sit with me, really, as I get deeper into this environmental restoration work. At least this mine does not blast! so, we shall see, if this person is interested, we'll have a conversation and find out what's what then. Tomorrow I have a local garden contact coming over to take some plants, I hope, and, I hope, some other stuff. No idea if cousin will be here or not; she is not sharing her schedule or anything with me at this point. It would be easier and more pleasant if she is not here of course, but, whatever. Right now she is on the phone behind a closed door, no idea, hope it isn't about anything that affects me, that's always an anxiety that arises here. Aside from that though I feel pretty high and good.

Also, had this really interesting message on FB from one of the main organizers of the EcoCamps project, yesterday morning. He is Dutch, not a native English speaker so his word choice makes it even a bit more cryptic, but it made me feel good even though it's mighty mysterious: "Thanks a lot [bedeep] for all your work! Just to busy with the project together with John! So cannot do to much jet! But when i can explain, hopefully within a couple of weeks, trust me you will be very happy! Thanks again for all your support on the Camps!" What do you think this means? ?

Today was...weird. The garden thing I had planned didn't happen; the gal who was going to come take the potted plants canceled last minute since she has been sick -- we had a nice chat later and she's feeling better and will reschedule later in the week. Also, I thought the woman my cousin hires to clean every two weeks was due today. Well,she was, but that also had been canceled though I didn't find that out until she never showed up and I asked and cousin said, Oh, she's out of town this week. Now, it would have been nice to know that in advance, but one thing cousin has resented all along is having to tell me things about what's going on with people coming to the house and with her own schedule. So, she has just stopped doing that. Anyway. She did go to work today, but last night I was unable to sleep not knowing that, and thinking the whole plant thing might happend with both cousin here and the cleaning woman here, and how was that all going to work bla bla. Absurd. But it made me restless and nervous. Two communications out there about places to live including the crystal mine place have not been responded to. Maybe the weekend slows people down. Who knows? And I am really not able to do much more until I know where I am going! Because that really determines what to keep, what to let go of, all that. So, spent the day alternating between some garden tasks (mostly watering) and some online work to do with the Ecocamps project. That is moving along quite well. Now, cousin has invited two guys into the backyard where there is a tent/cabana thing, and they were sitting out the chatting for about an hour and I was wondering who it was -- she came upstairs to run a bath and they are still sitting there so I asked. Oh, it's T. and his brother (next door neighbor, really nice guy) she says, And I just told them to sit and chat out there as long as they like. Course it is right under my window.... At least I know who it is. Brother has a bit of a loud voice, though. Kind of thing that would not bother me as much except for having been shut out of communication.

hahaha!
And, well! Fancy this! Just got a quick note from one ecovillage contact I had thought was not possible, the guy is telling me they are only 20 minutes away and they would be happy to get me a ride next week so I can come out and visit!
Whoa. Fancy that. Hope this works out and even if it doesn't, it will be good for my soul to have time away.
Whew!

Wow , that sounds positive and encouraging ! Fingers crossed for you . "...but one thing cousin has resented all along is having to tell me things about what's going on with people coming to the house and with her own schedule. " That's when you know you're being treated like furniture instead of a human being . I can't stand people like that .

It's the splitting of the timelines. People are being moved around. It's interesting to hear your experiences as it shows how the separation is firming up. Nothing much happens here. I don't go out that much and I don't interact with many people outside my family.

Wow, hope it works.. What did he say? So accomodation is included? He just said he would call Monday and they could arrange a ride for me to come visit sometime this week. I hope I can go regardless because it will be good to get out of here for a bit! And the info still is that there is not much in the way of living space available til late fall/early winter, so not sure if that can be worked around or not! Still have two other queries out there unresponded to so this is not the last gasp but when that message came it felt like it released a ton of energy. And I have seen some other, unrelated situations free up during the night and early morning, so, something shifted somewhere. I sure feel a heck of a lot better.
