Bladder dysfunction is the problem.  My problem, but not my medical team’s problem.  They are fighting cancer.  I want to pee easily and not so often. The cancer is invisible to me, an abstraction, but bladder irritation is right in my face.

My master gardener cousin came to visit and see the famous dead looking tree.  I point out the tree out right next to my house.  Some green leaves but mostly bare limbs. The birds have found a comfortable home in the dead looking tree.

Lots of excitement this morning as the various family members get ready to drive to San Juan Bautista for the annual visit to the graves of our early gold rush relatives. and to eat a fabulous lunch. Hurry up, hurry up.  I am staying home in the quiet house to continue my recovery.

More rain today, more mud in the driveway, more streams of water running down the street. More water in the bucket under the skylight.
