athena stopped by on her way south. We discussed the state of my lungs, which is a huge motivating factor in my decision to move away from these tiny rooms, and my current means of making money. Doing woodwork and remodeling homes is honest work and pays decently, but I have eaten too much of too many kinds of toxic dust in these situations. Lungs were not designed to be a garbage can. We are talking decades of abuse here, including smoking, which I quit 20 years ago. I got a serious bronchitis in Tuscany, and am still recovering 6 weeks later. It is time to go for the dream, and trust that it will somehow pay for itself.
We ate crab and asparagus, drank crysanthemum tea, and she eventually took off on another midnight ride.
