     I check my email several times Monday looking for a response from the Coastal Commission to my Sunday letter of concern. Nothing yet and maybe never. Communicating through the internet does seem to be futile, as if I am playing a game. I do my daily exercises of walking on the deck and yoga chair exercises.

     Monday is an unexpected two nap day. I look for causes of tiredness so I can find solutions.  I curl up on the couch and doze for awhile. Not quite asleep and not awake, a strange state of mind.

     Cloudy damp morning.  Garbage truck is lumbering up the street. Neighbor’s dog is barking. Sometimes I wonder if a barking dog means someone needs help. I just don’t know.  The barking has stopped now.

     I am totally engrossed with reading THE SENSE OF AN ENDING, a novel by Julian Barnes. He creates an immediacy in the narrative. The story stays in my mind.  In the evening my roommate is on zoom meetings. I watch more episodes of the CLOSER.  Surely I can find some other good shows to watch.
