Catalina from above, 2015.

  • Everyone has been telling me that I am so happy these days. They should feel lucky I stayed home with my bronchitis. Napping a lot makes me a very happy, weller person….if there is such a word.
  • Computer woes. I was never able to get into either my doctor’s Scripps page or the imaging page to see what they want me to see. After another one of those “naps,” I was able to blow it all off. They did let me know by both letter and phone call too. Managed to get a follow up appointment without accessing “my” pages.
  • Oldest daughter is still speaking to me. I’m really pleased about that. I even made her laugh yesterday. Youngest daughter can see well at last now both eyes are done. G and I are waiting for her hospital and doctor’s bills, and his, before we contemplate our next trip. The last was Catalina, and I have hope the next will be Yosemite.
  • Me, me, me: After caretaking my eldest, I came home to caretake me….to simplify my own home. Banish clutter to where? My surfaces now look clean, and life has been banished to the bookcases. Made me laugh.
  • G’s birthday. I knew he wanted something electronic for his birthday, but he surprised me with his request. He wanted a fancy new Keurig. I knew they made one single sized cup. I didn’t know that they made one giant cup too. They do. Nice clear, good tasting coffee. I cleaned out the Mr. Coffee, which is what it really needed, and got it ready for storage.
  • I haven’t tried to combine going to the pool and work on the same day yet. Today I stayed home yet again, but next week I might be brave. Maybe next Wednesday I can do both.
  • Gratitude too: That Lois Mc Master Boujold has a new Vorkosigan book coming out the first of next month. I called my local independent bookstore to put my name on one, and I asked the girl, yes you can tell a girl’s voice from a woman’s voice, if she had read them yet. “No,” she told me. I went into my spiel about how wonderful they were, and when she looked them up she said, “Oh, that’s why we ordered so many.”
  • Gratitudes: That I am feeling so much better. That we have breakfast out with friends both Saturday and Sunday. That the sun will come out at some point today. What more could one ask?
