Tonight is the last night as Castle Macbeth. Oddly, I had a test anxiety dream last night, surely the result of the move. Haven't had one of those in so many years as it's been a quarter century since I've had to take a test. In the dream, it was like an EMT test, and I was dawdling despite the test going on. There was only one other examinee. I realized I only had this tiny pad of paper to write my answers on, but it didn't really matter. I guess it wasn't really an anxiety dream as I wasn't very anxious during it.
On another odd aside - I went to Fry's yesterday to get another charger from my burner phone. I need to set one up at the Beach Bungalow and another up at my folks house as I'll be staying there on odd nights. Turns out you can get all sorts of chargers for iphones and androids, but not burner phones. It would be cheaper for me to buy a new burner phone, toss the phone and keep the charger. Then, in the last stage of cleaning out my garage, I found another charger. It was for S's burner phone, which she had eons ago (she's now a loyal iPhoner). That burner was passed down to T, but she never used it and she's got a new better burner phone now, one that takes photos and has a slide keyboard. Glad I didn't buy that phone.
I've had a lot of conversations with my neighbors at Macbeth, more than I've had in the 12 years of living there, and potentially less than I've already had with the new neighbors in the Cruz.
T chose to hang one of KB's pieces prominently in her new room. The moon in the trees one, a blue field with a brown and copper tree across a white moon (not sure if that's the actual title). We have a ton of art - beyond KB's canvases and a few odd things of mine, S has some artist friends that have given us paintings and large photos, along with miscellaneous stuff we've collected over the years. Our new place is much smaller, 8/13ths the size, so we've had to store a lot. But that piece made it. T really likes it. I emailed a shout out to KB, just to let him know, as it's been ages since he's been around here.
There's one beer left at MacBeth Circle, which I will drink tonight. I'm going to toss that Johnnie Walker Red I think. Tomorrow, we close Macbeth.
