     I wake up to warm rain dripping on the glass ceiling. I wake up from intense emotional dreams whose stories I can’t remember.  I don’t want to get out of bed. Sirens in the distance and dogs barking.

     The young poet and the charming gardener are here in the house. The poet is staying for one night, the gardener lives here.  The poet’s room stays here and is mostly empty while she is going to the university. I am here all the time, sometimes gladly and sometimes I am restless to get out.

     A new book by Sanjay Gupta, MD, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO HURT, your smart guide to a pain free life.  I wasn’t sure I would like it but I do.  Lots of new information about how pain is created in the brain. Also advice for patients on working with their doctor on pain issues. My kind of book.

     I started a new series on Netflix, DOC. The story of a woman doctor who loses 8 years of her memory in an accident. Not sure I if will stay with it. I have a a long list of shows I didn’t finish watching.
