     Saturday is a day of rest. Laying on the couch listening to classical music, many trips to the bathroom for painful bladder. Trying various pills to calm the body. I remind myself that I am basically well, but I don’t feel well.

     In the afternoon, between naps, I watch a Norwegian TV series PERNILLE on Netflix. I watch all six episodes, dubbed in English. I am cautious about letting afternoon tv watching become normal. 3 more seasons to go while I recover. Thanks to my Santa Fe friend’s recommendation.

     More library books arrive along with the personal librarian. Lots of talk and laughter, Two old ladies enjoying each other’s company in the late afternoon.

     New Yorker subscription is running out soon.  I am going to renew it for a year, I am counting on still being alive. I start reading the novel THE EMPEROR OF GLADNESS by Ocean Vuong. A compelling book.
