     The afternoon warms up with some sunshine.  The winds start gusting again. My daughter waters the dry front yard. I feel lazy and unmotivated.

     My daughter asks me if I want to be cremated when I die.  Of course I say. I don’t feel near death but it is time to talk to my middle aged kids about what needs to be done when I do die. We will all be together in mid August. I will be making a list of things thy need to know about how my life functions, bank, password, house issues, possible memorial, what to do with my stuff, who can help.  Lots to think about. 

     I have been in a race to finish reading the library books I have and get them back to the library. I plan to focus on the books I bought that are stacked on the table. I miss my personal librarian.

     Today an old friend is visiting.  I miss our friendship. It is harder to socialize when I have low energy and stuck at home. Friends seem to be afraid to bother me as if I am doing important activities. I value visits by friends., and I do get tired easily.
