     I have reached that stage of healing where I am too tired to sit in the doctor’s waiting room but not sick enough for emergency or hospital care. Missed my doctor’s appointment today.  Couldn’t imagine being able to walk down the long hallway or sitting in the waiting room. I am curious to see what comes next.

     I had thought I would be exempt from the vicissitudes of old age. No escape. I realize it is up to my body to heal. The medical people have supported my body in healing itself. A long slow process.

     Clusters of birds are in the front yard in the afternoon darting from one limb to another. Big birds, little birds, red birds, brown birds. They don’t seem to mind the foggy sky.

     I finish reading THE EMPEROR OF GLADNESS. This story will stick with me for a long time. We watch another episode of my favorite British detective series, THE LAST DETECTIVE. Almost finished the four seasons. Humorous, thoughtful kind stories.
