     I eat See’s chocolates after my nap. One after another. My hands work independently from my mind, and I keep at it. My mouth is filled with delicious flavors. I finally am able to stop. Lethargy creeps up on me.

     More rain, more sudden sunlight, more rain. And then wind. I watch the changing weather through the front window. The heater is on for most of the day.

     We watch more episodes of HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST. A confusing funny madcap series. The last two episodes are for tonight. I have no idea how it will end.

     I finish reading THE STOLEN HOURS, a mystery story by Allen Eskens. Set in Minnesota near the Mississippi River. A satisfying story. Once again, today I plan to go to the library to return books and pick up the tax forms. Planning is only the first step in taking action.
