People even decorate in alleys!
This week I've taken many short walks. In alleys. I am so tired of my neighborhood that I decided to walk thru the alleys. Alleys are interesting. Well, at least they were, until I saw the dead cat.
The most significant event this week is that my niece lost her place, and is moving in with me. With her dog. For a "month." I'm getting much better at say no to money -- I don't have any to give -- but I am a sucker for a sob story. Apparently she lost her job a while ago and didn't tell anyone. Clearly she did not get my sister's ability to communicate and stretch a dollar till it is ready to snap. It's barely been a month since the last "temporary stay" left after 6 months and a jail stint. At least she started a new job. It's a step in the right direction.
Tomorrow is moving day. It will be an upper body workout at the storage facility near my house. That's where I will be helping at. Not the house. I rented her a u-haul because she lives in the middle of nowhere and nobody wants to drive a half hour back and forth with boxes. It also made it slightly easier to get helper bees. Of course, when she finds another place, she need to organize a moving group again. And it will be winter.
Tomorrow night I am hoping to go down toward the Banana Factory, and take a night walk and take pictures—or try to—of the store windows and some decorations. Everything looks pretty.
Sunday morning, I'm hoping to get a good walk before I have to run my teen niece to Girl Scouts. I'm even thinking about taking her little brother to see Santa while she's at her service project. I don't think he's ever been. Most eight-year-olds would be too old. Even though he's very smart for his age, he still likes little kid things like Thomas the Train and Veggie Tales. And I want an excuse to go see the herd of reindeer at the farm.
