Phone Call

My mother called me early this morning at about 7 am. She told me the kittens have been in heat. Suzy was already in heat and Jasmine is in heat now. I could hear her yowling in the background. I do miss the kittens, but I think they are doing better in their new home. I live in a one-room "box" here in Korea. They have much more space where they are now and they are getting along with the other three cats and two dogs. I am glad I am not putting up with their heat cycles now. My mother said she will have them fixed soon. Lately I have been wishing I could cuddle them, yet I think I did the right thing in giving them to my family.
I am greatful my mother called because my phone died last night. My cellphone had little power and I made a few calls and it went kaput. It's my only alarm. I will have to bring it into the shop.

If you had problems sleeping with the kittens scratching the door, imagine how much worse it would be now, especially with the bill to pay for fixing them. Glad they have a safe, happy, healthy home with your family.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually...

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less ti...
