Woo hoo! I was able to cancel my Covid and Flu vaccine appointment in Nanaimo and change it to a clinic here in our Community Hall. I am very glad to be able to stay on Gabriola and not go to Nanaimo. I’m nervous about doing anything involving transportation and a new environment because I’m afraid of having another major seizure.
At 9:30, I went out to see if I could see what had made the noise on the roof on Tuesday night, but I could see no fallen branch anywhere. I reckon it might have been a raccoon slipping on the metal roof panels. Finding nothing, Sheba and I headed to Rollo Park and what a pleasant surprise I had there!
She trotted for much of our walk, but she balked as I headed along the long trail, and so I turned back and she immediately trotted ahead of me along the shorter trail. It was a very happy walk for me, seeing her look so full of life.
Our west coast is dealing with a wind and storm alert, but we had neither strong winds nor rain yesterday morning. I loved our walk because it was a lovely and mild 14° as we walked. I would love to have gone on a long walk with her in the mildness of the morning, but that’s a thing of our past now.
Two of the greatest reading thrills of my life were The Professor and The Madman and The Map that Changed the World. Both books were written by Simon Winchester, and I was extremely sad to read that he died on November third of this year. Both books are non-fiction and tell extraordinary tales. If you like non-fiction, read these books!
Another author I loved was Oliver Sacks, and I recently read Insomnia City, written by Sacks’ partner, Bill Hays. That book is soon to be a movie starring Jonathan Baily and Bill Nighy. I’ll be watching for this one!
Our afternoon walk was great because it was very warm and quite windy, but it wasn’t raining and Sheba was trotting along and full of interest in every smell she encountered. She gives me hope on her good days. And it was wonderful to come home to so clean a house.
Finally, today, I see Dr. S. and our session may lead to a better understanding of how to avoid more major seizures. This afternoon, I’m going to see Sue and Bonnie’s new home.
