I have long desired four things in a residence: a designated parking spot, a backyard in which to grow vegetables, a dog, and my own washer and dryer. (Quiet, safety, and sunshiny rooms are a given.) Where I currently live offers two of these--parking and a dog. When I was married, I had the other two. For the rest of my adult life, I've either had one (a backyard) or none, so I'm getting closer.
This afternoon, after a month of rewiring and repiping and painting, a washer and dryer were installed in a small utility room at the back of the house. It is for use by all six units, but it's still a lot nicer than having to cart my dirty clothes to the laundramat. So I guess you'd say that I now have 2 1/2 of the four essentials. Yippee!
Mystical experiences, yearnings, politics, little dramas, poetry, kidney dialysis, insulin-dependent diabetes, and opportunities for gratitude.

About Me
- Heidi's heart
- Southern California, United States
- Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
