It all seems pretty empty. I fill my day with nothing. I did some straightening, putting some things away that I have been looking at for weeks, if not months. I did some gardening. That's the best. I'm interacting with something other than myself.
Dorothy and I got together on Zoom to work on the PowerPoint Presentation. It was mostly her reading the slides and seeing if everything made sense. I love discussing the work with her; fortunately, she loves doing the work too. It is a good interaction for both of us for so many reasons; I get the presentation done too. I think the ideas I have to present are valuable. I don't think she is as invested in the process as I am. We already agreed she would reread the article I wrote after we finish the presentation; doing it has given her a whole new perspective on the work.
She had looked up some features of PowerPoint. She discovered it has its own whiteboard. If I use the one with PowerPoint, I don't have to go out of share, open Zoom's whiteboard, and then close that and go back into PowerPoint. She also came up with some way to add items to a single slide as you are making the presentation. I could do neither on my computer. Dorothy said she would do research on how to get it for me.
I feel I didn't do much. I am going to have to figure out how to live on my own. In the late afternoon, Jean, my hanai sister or my sister-wife, called. Oh, it was so good to hear from her. She puts out energy in a way I can relate to. When she puts out love to me- I feel loved. It's very comforting. We spoke for about an hour.
I told her about the family planned game Zoom get-together because I didn't want her to find out about it after the fact. I told her that she hadn't been invited because it didn't look like she enjoyed her time on Zoom. She has hearing problems. No, she was interested. I contacted Damon to let him know and Yvette so she could send her a link. I am happy she was there, and it worked out.
The Zoom meeting started at 4:30 Hawaii time, 6:30 California time, and 9:30 in New Jersey. Yvette, Mowg, Damon, and I were on immediately. We were waiting for Lilith, Dorothy, and Jean. Jean came on. Lilith would not participate; she was involved with her family on the east coast where she was visiting. I called Dorothy to get her plans. She said she was too tired to participate.
Damon had picked a game called Code Names. We were divided into two teams. Damon, Cylin, and Jean were one; Yvette, Mowg, and I were on the other. It was fun. Playing games is a good way to structure the interactions. We are still ourselves, interacting with each other. Child psychologists use play therapy with children. They use the structure of games to help children learn how to interact appropriately. We reveal ourselves, no matter what we do.
