Serious Aspects of the Helen Story Sequence

Of course, the musical parts of the Helen stories are serious; in fact the whole story is serious.  In each story, though—and I didn't set out to have it turn out this way, trust me—Helen slowly matures.  I had noticed that Helen was a big baby, in the earlier stories, and tried to get her to be more responsible, and somehow it turned out that in each story, Helen was painfully learning to join the dots, and to take pleasure in the happiness of the people around her. 

I recently wrote a blog post over on the other blog ('Don't wait for the Movie') on the subject of adulting, and there were lots of references to the Helen stories, so I thought I may as well sort of cross-post that post over here.

Its title is Adulting.

Just Keeping in Touch

Actually, a lot happened today, most importantly, I watched the Barbie movie!  I have to let that sink in some, so I'll give you my take on it tomorrow. 

I was at my friend's just at meal time again, so I got to feed the pets!  The dogs were cute, as always, but the kitten was just so perfect!!!  There's nothing fancy, you know; you serve the food out, and the dogs just inhale it.  But the cat just slowly and deliberately eats it, but it's super cute!  Oh man; whoever invented cats needs to get some sort of reward!

Well, that's the other thing; the only pets that I noticed in 'Barbieland' were horses!  How stupid is that?  I suppose Mattel never made Barbie kittens, then?

See you tomorrow!

Sheila

Just read Flowershop Girl.  Somehow, I had deleted my own copy, so I had to (1) set the price to 0, (2) go back on the Smashwords website, (3) actually buy the story—which should have been free to me, as the author— (4) download it, and read it.  There's one more step: (5) set the price to what it was.  I'll do it tomorrow!

Sheila, the Flowershop Girl, is just such a 💓!  (What's that emoji?  I should read all the available emoji research ...)  In addition to Sheila and Helen, the story also colors in Lorna's personality a lot!
