I can’t believe it’s been almost five (5) years since I last posted “The Window” in September 2020. We were at the beginning of the pandemic. I was studying for my masters degree in Psychology and Addiction Counseling. I was living with my son and his family. There were four generations living in the house. There have been many changes in my life as well as changes in the way I communicate with you. I am in awe of what AI will mean in how we live our lives. There are unimaginable things to come, I know that.

I’m older, I move slower. Since I last posted I’ve moved three times and was homeless for the month of August 2024. I was so seriously concerned that I carried a shopping bag (one of the large ones from a Home Goods/Ross/TJ Max types of lovely monogramed bags) with a couple of rolls of toilet paper ‘just in case’, a roll of paper towels, a bar of soap, a wash cloth and a large towel. Two (2) pieces of luggage were in the trunk of my 1999 Lexus with some everyday clothing. The back seat held two blankets and other essentials such as a bag with wiring connectors and extensions. I was preparing for sleeping in my car. Life can be a B***h.
