My Day So Far

I think I’m too tired now to go to sleep.

Robbie has stopped eating: emergency visit to the vet tomorrow.

Physical therapy this morning. Not as easy as it looks: my hip is a mess.

Work for an hour on Ozias, Prince Enthroned. It isn’t going to write itself. Meanwhile, it’s getting very hot outside.

Last-ditch effort: a trip to the health food store (just try to find a parking space!) to buy tuna in spring water–maybe Robbie will eat some of that. Prayers all day long.

Thank you all for your prayers. We need ’em.

Where Was I?

So where have I been all day? Physical therapy, an hour and change. Grocery shopping, an hour and a half. And then I just had to sit down and smoke a cigar, because I was already dog-tired.

As I sat, a blackbird came walking up the sidewalk toward me. It was a stiff walk–the kind of walk you see from someone to whom you owe money and have been rather careless about repaying. Was he going to peck at my shoelaces? Or maybe fly onto my lap and give me a piece of his mind?

When he was about five feet away, he suddenly took off and flew out of the picture.

Still tired, but a lot calmer, let’s see if I can get this blog in order.
