puppetmaker | This That and the Other Thing (Reply)

I am still here. I am still grieving for Peter.

However, I am doing things and getting out of the house more. My therapist says that this is a good thing.

I saw George and Brad Takei. That was special. They expressed their sympathies and George told me that Peter will always live in his heart. Then Friday I went in and saw the children’s author Sachiko Kashiwaba who wrote “The Village beyond the Mist” which is one of the books that inspired “Spirited Away”. Then Saturday I had lunch with a friend and then marched as an advocate in the Lesbian parade.

Today is paperwork day. All the calls and paperwork that gets stacked up from Friday and the weekend.

I am taking care of myself which is also good. The only thing I must remind myself is to eat. I’m not hungry. Thirsty yea, hungry no. I do eat at least two meals a day.

I am still working on puppets and keeping up with the house.

It’s bits and pieces but they are healing bits and pieces.

I am still in paperwork hell and will be probably for a couple of years. I don’t understand why filling a will is such hell. I own the estate. I am the executer of the will. But it must wind its way through the court. I am guessing two years and that is both a long and short time.

The house is in puppet mode which means I have fur, fabric, and other puppet making supplies everywhere. I plan a clean-up for tomorrow after I get back from work. The truck has moved to Tuesday, so my early morning workday has moved and gone to once every two weeks rather than once a week.

Got conventions coming up. I will be at Shoreleave, GalaxyCon Raleigh, IL Who and DragonCon. There might be one or two later in the autumn like NYCC but that is not a solid yet. Please feel free to say “Hi” I love meeting people and I love meeting Peter’s fans.

Now off for another round of sewing and laundry.

I am grateful for that which makes me feel better.
