     Rainy day but not so cold. Rain comes and goes.  I move through the morning doing my usual tasks, writing, washing dishes, reading the paper, walking on the deck, putting clothes away, organizing the MOW meals. In the afternoon, lunch, a nap and then a new exercise routine, more walking and reading the current book I like. It is a good day.

     In the evening, We watch another episode of THE MORNING SHOW, Intense drama and confusing conflict. Later we watch the last two episodes of OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS, a series set in Spain, dubbed in English.  I have grown to love it and will miss it.

    The whole neighborhood is wet, puddles, vivid green trees, birds ignoring the rain as they fuss around in the bushes. Not many cars and people on the street.     No power outages in this town. I frequently look at the PG&E outage map on line.

     In the evening while settling in for the night I hear voices outside, people talking to each other, car doors slamming. I remember the neighbor say they are planning a pre wedding gathering for her daughter. And then, cars drive off and the neighborhood is quiet again. Weddings bring up conflicted memories.  Women cry at weddings, sad and happy for the bride, wishing her well. I don’t know what men do.
