Day 103

Good fun to spend time and catch up with Eileen and Karen. Eileen and I have been friends for decades and I value her. Our conversations were deep and genuine. I’m lucky to have so many friends. I know I earn them. I walked a little yesterday, slow but I was outside. I hope this low energy spell goes away. Today is CofC visitors’ center duty. There may be news about our next ED. I have experienced at least seven EDs while volunteering there.

Day 102

Museum was slow. Only a couple of visitors and a school group. Michele picked me up and we had a good lunch. She brought me home and we visited for an hour. She wanted a photo of the rhody since it is beautiful. Today will start with a bit of house work and more yard stuff. Later, lunch at Good harvest with Eileen and Karen for Eileen’s birthday. I enjoy socializing and real conversation. I have deep connections and value them. Life is good.

Day 101

Worked in the yard and succeeded in filling the green bin in a short time. Made a trail around the lemon tree to get to the burned ends. Lots of new growth starting and I’m grateful for that. The shrub that was blocking light in the sun porch is much smaller now. Cleaned the greenhouse too. Walked the dogs individually and that works best for me. Minnie is slow and Jake wants to explore everywhere his long nose can find. Today is museum duty.

Day 100

Less headache this morning after a restless night. I’m glad it’s a day off with no obligation to fill. It was the best kind of busy yesterday at the CofC with people coming two and three at a time so we could hear travel stories. Today I will drive the car, buy some groceries, and work in the yard. I may cut down the giant shrub that is blocking the sunporch window. The lemon trees both need to have the burned parts cut off.

Day 99

The dull feeling from the headache slowed down my efforts at the CofC and I did leave after three hours. This morning my head is not back to normal and feels fragile. I’m on duty again at 9AM and hoping for a clear enough mind to be useful. The good thing yesterday was talking with Michele and making a lunch date for Wednesday. She is interesting and we want to get acquainted so she will pick me up at the museum after our duties..

Day 98

Woke up with a humdinger of a migraine. First one in more than six months. I’m okay now after an Imitrex injection and coffee. Hope it doesn’t color my day. After church I promised to work extra hours at CofC so Shirley won’t be alone. Yesterday was okay with a sunny walk with Hollie and Megan to the busy farmers’ market. It’s a special family ritual that we enjoy. Later, a couple of walks and the Giants won their game. New day, new week.

Great memory of Janet and the fun we had together. This was kindergarten ta Pine grove.1975

Day 97

Did get dinner at China Hut.. It’s okay but costs too much for rice and vegs. That’s okay too because I didn’t want to cook. The massage was a spring tonic complete with singing bowls. Slept well and feel refreshed this morning. The CofC was not busy. People came three or four at a time and that’s easy. Today is the first farmers’ market of the season. It’s dark and gloomy outside for June 1^st. This may be the weather for the summer too!
