Maybe she won’t move-inn. Maybe she will. Universe will decide.
Sabado Grande Mi gente, Welcome to another day of magic, above ground.
Magic happens every day and most times we don’t notice it. We, in this case, meaning humans. That’s another way the Beast system steals our souls. Many of us are so inundated with meaningless drama, that we’re too agitated to experience the magic. Magic, is Universe at work. It’s the Cosmocracy having your back. Finding the penny you need for a grocery bill that's $19.01, and you have some Jackson action in your pocket. (That’s a $20 bill for those reading from elsewhere in the world.) Nobody wants to count out 99 cents.
It’s showing up just in time to help a lady load her groceries into the trunk of her car.
The other day, it was randomly running into my former neighbor, (she lived over me, in my last apartment), as she was finally looking for a new apartment.
I spotted her figure from across the street. She’s very fit. Her outfit, two piece sky blue exercise gear, stood out against the gloom of the overcast day. I didn’t know it was her. My eyes don’t focus on details from that far away. But I did want to get a closer look. She slipped into her car, which I didn’t recognize. She lingered in the spot until I got there.
“Hey, What’s up?” she hollered, as the passenger window descended.
“I’m looking for a new apartment.” She doesn’t remember my name. Ego has an issue with that, but not a big one. “Where do you stay?” she asks.
“Over there,” I point.
It wasn’t deja vu. More like, “wouldn’t it be funny if she moved into where I was staying.” This was not today’s thought. This was a year and a half ago when I got out of the previous situation, where she was living in the unit above mine. She’d been talking about moving out since I moved out. She never asked where I moved to, exactly. I was vague. “Up the street. Yeah, it’s so much better than the “Villas.” But always stopped short of telling her exactly where it was. Besides, I had gotten the last available apartment.
She asked if there was anything available.
There are. I sort of invited her to check the place out. Less than 100 yards away.
She had to go to the mechanic because there was a nail in her rear tire. She was already riding on a spare. Front passenger side.
I screenshot the rent sign and sent it to her phone.
If this is the exact right spot for her to be, then she’ll be here. We had the same parameters. We wanted to stay in the neighborhood, if not on the same street. There are many more rental options today than there were two-years ago. But I felt the market, and the neighborhood changing. Tenants come and go. The time I did chat with the property owner he said something about trying to get people to stay. There’s been quite the turnover just since I’ve been here. But on the other hand, there are some solid neighbors here as well. Of the five apartments on my side of the court, on my level, three were here when I arrived. One neighbor had already been here six years, so I expect she’s going on eight-now, if she hasn’t passed it.
Most of the buildings are decades old. The one I moved out of was built 100 years ago. The one I’m in now was built 60 years ago. My next abode won’t be finished until 2028. I may be able to move in by 2030.
El Nino.
We got poured on in the park on Thursday. We saw it coming too, and we waited for it to hit.
Got rained out yesterday. The upside is we got a lot of work done, and had the encounter previously mentioned. Might not have run into former, and possibly future neighbor, had I gone to the park. Plus, we had a good recovery day.
We are aiming to get down to the Monkey Bars this morning, Weather permitting. Perhaps we can get a Saturday-Sunday double in this weekend. The vessel is becoming measurably stronger, so maybe we can add one more day of training after the equinox drops.
We’ll wrap it up for now.
Stay sane, stay strong, stay safe, stay savvy, stay serene, stay sovereign, stay subscribed. PEACE.
