Thanks to recommendations of friends and neighbors I have a plumber and a handyman coming to work in June. The deck and fence will be repaired. The fence blew down in the wind and the deck’s railing is wobbly.

I also reduced meals on wheels deliveries to three days a week. I am ready to start taking control of my eating life. For the last two years I have had MOW fulltime.  I am grateful and want a bigger variety of meals. I am almost ready to shop in grocery stores.

I finished reading DINNERS WITH RUTH by Nina Totenberg. These women journalists in Washington DC lived in a constricted world and reminded me of my life struggles.  For decades NPR was alive as I drove my car. I have a bit of envy of these women’s colorful lives.

Last night I slept in a new set of soft yellow flannel sheets. Wonderful. My old sheets had become scratchy and stiff.
