When I am calm and listen to family members, I realize we all have difficulties and being sick is not the worst possible issue. And yet I seem to drift into talking about my experiences as the most important. I am slowly learning to be quiet and pay attention to the others.

The Thursday sun warms up the house in the afternoon.  Doors and windows open and then, the fan is turned on. I have the house mostly to myself as the gang takes a long hot hike at Garland Park in Carmel Valley.

I have been struggling with Lowes in Salinas about an unsuccessful delivery of a table for my deck. For weeks, multiple emails and texts announce deliveries that don’t happen.   Maybe they will deliver it on this Tuesday.

I have finished the memoir STILL PICTURES, by Janet Malcolm. A perfect book for me.
