A Monday interlude...

To explain, I work an off shift...

4pm to 4am.  So I still consider it a night shift.  I come home around 4:30am, unwind, and then sleep till 1pm or 2 pm, get up, and am ready to go.

This morning, I had a wake-up moment, as the housekeeper knocked on my door and tried to enter.  I have told the front desk countless times, that I only need service once a week, and I have even scheduled it...

Multiple requests, even telling individuals, "If you see the bike, I am sleeping!  Please do not come in."

Regardless, I am now awake for awhile...

In my last post, I mentioned that I had some time to reflect and had some memories.  Some of them will remain sequestered, however...

Tweety-bird
Oriole Street
Trains
a pedal-powered toy
the PB&J
a mud-fest!

and in Arizona...

Pecos Lane
my Grandparents
my Uncle and his Dodge 442!
school and growing up
Scouting and how that brought me to now

I am still thinking about and remembering these things, even today.

Last night, I rode back over to my former residence.  Found/met Rick, the maintenance guy. Went with him to visit his aunt.  To make a long story short, I have a new Aunt!  Ricardo, is a sobrino, a nephew... I was with him, accepted into this family, withstood the jokes...

Rick introduced me as a friend, an "amigo," and a nurse, "enfermero," specializing in/working in the Emergency Department, "Emergencia."

His tia (aunt) embraced me and said to me, "You are my nephew's friend, now, I make you the same, 'Hola, mi sobrino!'"

And as the matriarch of this family, with those words, I am now a member of this family!

Last night, I gained an Aunt!  Tengo una tia nuevo!
