I’m from New Jersey.
but I wasn’t born there.
and I somehow knew I wouldn’t stay.
I was allured to the farm here in PA when Mom and Dad and my sister moved here in the 80’s but wasn’t welcomed here. Neither was my brother Steve. I made my own lateral move here via the state hospital. And then, a paradigm shift through Buffalo (off of NYC/Boston) and baby Ian. So now I am from here.
in the meantime I have lived in Texas, Southern California, Buffalo, Maryland, and Florida, in that order, since leaving PA in 1991
And I was also born in PA although not near here. It is a confusing story.
I plan to retire here if I live long enough. But to the next county over.
Here I am living with mice. There are two running boldly around the floor right now. I had a pet mouse with Ian and I am insufficiently primed against mice and these two have crept up on me. Don’t know what to do. I hate to kill them.
Travis and Tanner the cats would so help me with this if they were near.
I long to be at home with them in my own place.
Resolved: I will talk with the building superintendent tomorrow morning about the mice. This is just too crazy.
