I am waiting for the storm to hit this morning.  So far just some rain and no wind.  A flock of tiny birds are busy feeding in the bottle bush tree. Heater is blowing and our lights work.

The family went on a quest to Big Sur on Tuesday leaving the house to me. I could do whatever I wanted.  Of course, I couldn’t remember what I wanted so I took a nap and read some more of my Irish history book.  My personal librarian brought me a new stack of books and took away the ones I had read or discarded.

The home health nurse showed up to discharge me from their service.  He was a talker and he told stories of finding severely injured patients in their homes. He said he had called me.  I don’t answer calls from strangers. Texting is better. He was afraid he would find me dead.

We are using fire logs in the living room. I discovered that I could order them from Target and they would deliver.
