Christina Ann Joanna Barrett About being busy, that’s an interesting thing to talk about, too. Like I said, I haven’t been in school/work much the past 10 years. It’s supposed to be depressing. I remember how “busy” music was and taking lessons, especially for me. I made myself not busy so I could do things I haven’t, but I mean being busy is good if you’re not like me and stayed up into increasing AM hours doing homework, on the floor, etc. They acted like I had to leave college and I mean it was summer. Up north they told me just to lighten my schedule cuz I came after it started cuza the hurricane where I lived. At my original college, I was at a loss for a desirable major after what I was questionably kicked out of without warning, just to annoy me. I’m more poor than busy. Holidays in the US are supposed to be busy and attention-getting. We never seemed to make it emotionally as a family. 1st, I dunno what it was. My brother was born and we moved to 2 apartments for 2 years each. It wasn’t decorative so un-festive. We moved to the oldest continuing city in the US and it got good, until something little happened that seemed to destroy the family and my life and reputation somehow.. We moved to a new house, but I know me for instance I was out of shape at the time, not fat but not skinny. We lived in 2 apartments and 1 house in Central Florida/Orlando. We had some high hopes in life. We need to make our house more welcoming, and I’m still in the process of doing that with my room. I need to buy things like a coat stand, a couple shelves, so that’s money. I’m using my money to get a new jacket, dye my hair so no one says I’m “exotic” again with black hair in college, anddna.ancestry.com. So, I’m like the ant in the story of the ant and the grasshopper.. saving up money but doing music like the grasshopper while I wait. I’m on some psychiatric pills, and those are keeping me down and tired, too. I assume a lot of middle aged people to busy are busy like you say with kids. Young adults, there’s college. Always some distraction. I don’t feel fit to do all my collegework away from home nor on campus. So, I’m studying from home, like I said. Trying to make it a home! I know when I was in the Cleveland area here for a 2nd time also for music/organ at a conservatory, I was there in early winter and the weather was so nice. I wish I could go back. There is a bend in a Great Lake right on top of where I was at, and I was at the bend. It seemed like from a story, like an emotional feel for life in winter and maybe a hint for a seasonal feel, in a way like Christmas. It’s so specific. Well, I hope it’s doing okay there, know here it has snowed in October. It was pretty cold. I hope it’s okay I added this bit, I saw I didn’t respond to that seemed interesting for some reason.
