     My house has visitors.  How neat should we be?  My roommate and I have lots of interests that involve stuff. Books, newspapers, fake chickens, papers, unopened mail and boxes. Blankets and pillows live on chairs in case the house gets too cold. It feels comfy and like home. Sometimes I am uncomfortable with my clutter, the stuff of life.  But this is my life.

     During this cold spell I have stayed indoors. Short walks on the cold deck to check out the progress of the back yard. Am I getting sick again or maybe just tired of my present life. Sunday, Time for a break from my daily exercise routine. The last couple of evening I take Tylenol pills for an achy body. This morning, I am ready to start again.

      My personal librarian and her energetic puppy visit in the late afternoon.  We decide to watch two episodes of THE CLOSER. We both are tired and need to not talk. Don’t watch any news at all. No new tired stories of the incompetent and malicious president.

     I am continuing to read Octavia Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER. Such a scary sad story.
