Back to Dull

I forgot to mention that when I wrote about my weight being 144 pounds, I think my scale was broken. I weighed myself again and I weighed 158 pounds. That seems far more likely to be my accurate weight. 

Friday was cool but it wasn’t raining; I decided not to walk with our friends. My speech is challenging right now, and I didn’t want to talk to anyone. Besides, they wanted to walk on a trail that is dark and often wet, and I didn’t. Sheba and I walked the Elder Cedar trail we like because it is an ideal length and there are no hills. An, the sun came out! When we were done, we came home so I could Zoom with Nicola.

Niki and I chatted for ninety minutes, and then I bid her adieu because I wanted some silent time before I chatted with Aidan at 14:00. My call with Aidan was disappointing because he does not want to approach hospitals. Instead, he wants to approach small clinics, and he’s the boss, so I must start over and see if I can learn how clinics function.

After the call, it was time to walk with Her Highness because the sun was out and I wanted to get outdoors. The walk was great. I loved being out in the sunshine, but it is still quite cool, so I was happy to return to basecamp and read until dinnertime. 

I fed everyone and then got on the chaise to have my dinner and to watch Hamnet. It was fine, after all, Paul Mescal. But I was not terribly moved by the film. I was expecting more. Maybe it was because I read the book, but it was not the overwhelming experience I expected to have.

This morning is chilly but bright. We’ll get more sunshine and no rain, and we need rain. Sigh. But maybe tomorrow. I have no plans for today except to walk, read and to keep the fire going. 

Yum! A chaise to die for!
