Day 225

My day by myself was only challenged by a couple of texts. Felt good to go without people. I had two brisk walks that felt wonderful and a sleep that was restful. Today Mother Leslie will be at church so communion will happen. Other than a quick trip to the store later, no agenda again. The orchids are watered. I’m trying to ignore the hideous political news. Makes me sad for Megan’s generation and glad that I’m at this end of my life.

day 224

Holy hot rocks. That was a special massage! Warmed my bones all the way through. Karen does a good job for my body. The CofC was quieter than expected. The car show people didn’t show up for information so we sipped coffee and ate pumpkin scones. The rain ruined the evening events and, hopefully, they had fun at the casino dance party. Today, no agenda. May or may not walk to the farmers’ market for Bosc pears. No interest in seeing the cars.

Day 223

Car is okay. The gas cap was not tight. I think the tank was siphoned. I may have to park in the hedge and climb out the passenger side. I got my senior flu shot and have a sore arm. Today is CofC and the bad news is that rain is due and it’s Sea Cruise weekend. It’s a big deal for the community. It’s also first Friday downtown so that will be an damp event. Later I’ll have a massage with Karen.

Day 222

Day 222

No A1C, yes to PT sessions, ear wax. Light on the dashboard that the engine needs service so I’m going to coast at 9 am. Randy messaged that he lost Annie. I met him at Battery Point and he talked for an hour. I didn’t like her and I’m sorry for his loss. He had seven dogs to get rid of and I gave him sources. Our history is unpleasant and I do want a relationship. I will not initiate but will participate.

Day 221

No museum duty and I’m feeling adrift. I need structure or I waste time. I have yardwork to do and greenhouse weeding but that’s all. I will see Joan later for a follow-up visit. I have a short list of questions about my health. Do I need A1C testing? May I have 3 sessions of PT? Can I get my senior flu shot? How are my ears and throat?  I may bring up my shortness of breath or not. I feel just fine.

Day 220

Time with Hollie is always satisfying and our activity made it even better. We ran into Larry who we haven’t seen for about 20 years! What a nice surprise and lots of hugs. I found four new tops and bought two pairs of jeans. We had lunch at the Mexican place in Smith River because Chan’s was closed. The Dem meeting was long, busy, and full of plans for the election. I will stuff door-hangers but will not precinct walk. I enjoy involvement.

day 219

Day 219

Hollie and I are finally going to Brookings to dink around. I have missed her and we can catch up today. I have a list for Freddy’s and also want to thrift shop and look for earrings to replace the lost loops. Later I’ll walk to Tracy for the final visit and then the Dem central committee for a meeting about the election. Right now I am also watering the orchids and charging the fitbit. Busy already on the first day of October.
