     I know at bedtime there is something I forgot to do. I do the laundry, I wash dishes.  I water the plants on the deck, I eat lunch with my daughter while watching the noontime news. I fill out the online forms for my Thursday morning medical appointment. Oh yes, I forget to pick my mail again for the second day.

     I am back to reading an international mystery novel, INVISIBLE HELIX by Keigo Higashino. It is comfort reading for me.

     The bottle bush trees have exploded with red blossoms and the humming birds are all over them. Trails are appearing in the tall grasses in the back yard. Yes, there is unseen movement in the yard.

     And still ,it is dark too early in the day. I lock my doors and pull the curtains by 5pm each afternoon. We negotiate a lower price with Comcast TV. I eliminate some of my streaming services. I am trying a new cost saving strategy for TV watching.
