The InterPlay Inspiration Deck Arrives (well almost)

it is 3pm and still no cards….every time i hear a noise i freeze and wonder if the 9 boxes, weighing in at 318 pounds are about to be dropped off on my porch.  they were suppose to arrive yesterday, Oct. 21st at 4:30pm.  so, what was i doing at that time: sweeping the porch, of course!  what else do i do when i am nervous-i clean ( well, many times i eat but that is a whole different story)! so the porch looks great, clean floor, plants watered, and furniture rearranged.

it is as if they are long awaited guests that i have to prepare for-relatives that i have not seen in awhile.  my relationship to them is kind of like that though. for months and months they were so present to me, day in and day out they demanded my attention.  they required patience, dedication and time, in large quantities.  and then one day they left and went to a far away land for a very long journey.  we had some contact at first as they got settled in but then, nothing…….weeks and weeks of nothing.  i kind of lost touch with them, found it difficult to focus on them or even to think about them.

then on monday, october 19th, chris (who works for fedex), called from missouri.  as an aside, he was so friendly and chatty that for a moment i almost considered the midwest as a possible place to relocate.  i am, obviously, easily impressed.  chris is the one that is really responsible for the clean porch.  he is the one that told me that fedex was slated to deliver on wednesday at 4:30pm.  he was getting information from me so that customs in new delhi, india could release the boxes to come to the united states. they left india on monday, went to memphis, TN and are – according to the fedex website-intransit to delaware water gap, PA.  even though there are no cards, i think a picture of the porch could be in order……..as an added bonus, that’s me in the glass of the door.  stay tuned!
