Saturday morning email to mom... and stuff.

From My Mom:

It's 9 am. I'm just finishing breakfast listening to classical music on KUSC. We are (Steve Cunningham and Irma have done the most work). Walls are  muted greys and greens with white trim. Looks really great I'll send you some pics. Arnie went for a beach walk. I was eating breakfast. Just turned the heat on. KUSC music. I'm happy. We got a message from my neurologist Dr. Mayo that I can pickup paperwork.  Her evaluation of my mental capacity, if I m OK to drive.

my reply:

Hi Mom,

I had a turbulent morning with Santina, trying to involve me in  disagreement between her and Melissa.  I did my best to side-step it and let them work it out on their own, yet offered some measure of support to both of them.

My new tenant is a Korean lady, age 31, she works as an admissions consultant for college-bound students.  She graduated from RISD with a liberal arts degree.  She had lunch with James and I on Thursday at the pint pot and she hired James to help her paint the garage room where she is staying.

So I have a free room to use for an office/music studio.  I never really realized that this is something I haven't really set up before.

I'm using the space, but I feel its too much and I can't afford it.  I love my animals and I don't want to have to give any of them up.  Even Santina's calico, Apple, has found her place in my  little animal pack.

I'm having friends over to practice my Irish set for the pint pot.  This is something I haven't been able to do in the past, partly due to Melissa's social anxiety and phobias, and to some degree, my own.  I have supportive friends around me, and that is a relatively new development in the Life of Brian.

I hope the doctor gives you the 'green light' (pun intended)
