Temporarily my life is totally dependent on others helping me out.  I kind of feel bad about how well my life has been moving along with me so dependent on my friends and family.  I feel an enormous amount of guilt about being  needy, but I feel so tremendously grateful for everyone in my life.  Jiro picked me up from  my x rays today and I got to hear about his life  as a 24 year old in this complicated world.
 


I spent my day focused on getting what I need done,  done.  I  was helped by good friends and treated well by people in the medical world and by my mechanics.  Thank  you everyone for being kind today, your kindness was truly appreciated by this person.

Cleaning  out the Jetta was a big ordeal, luckily the weather had stopped being wet nor  was it very cold.
This is the sky around 3 this afternoon.  Jiro  dropped me off home and I slept for a short nap. 

My head is still  hurting. Apparently the shot will interact with the diabetes for a few days.  In spite of the headache I stayed focused.
But now,  as I've paid attention to the news, I can't grasp it. I can't grasp any of what is happening.  I think about how naive I was to believe that this country would never have a dictator's reign.  But we are and unless something happens soon it is just going to get worse.  ICE agents killing a woman in cold blood on a neighborhood street in Minneapolis crashes into my head and says "Does not compute."  It happened.  How can we make sure this whole wave stops?  Now.

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.

December 4, 2025 A Hole In The Sky. I didn't get a nap today, I did get some stuff done.  I went out into the world today and I met the specialist doctor of the day. I feel that each merry go round. representing the three medical issues I am having, is organized and moving forward, which is better than 2 weeks ago when I felt trapped in a maze of the medical world's making.  I'm also going to teach myself the details of the digestive system of our bodies so I can have a better understanding of the information that is thrown at me in these appointments.   photo by Gary Gary went down in the basement, a job usually handled by T., and discovered I have more oil in my tank than I thought.  I was worried about running out during this 2 day cold burst.  But I have a month or so before I need to figure out emergency fuel stuff.  Tomorrow I will fill out all the forms though and be all set for when I need it.  I also have to fill out the forms for my Y me...

December 29, 2025 Happy Birthday Eliza Jean I get to see you this week.  YAYAY!!! www.brattleborotv.org/here-we-are/Kora Skeele, Director of Community SHOCK, NGO Here-we-are Kora Skeele I never get to brag about Kora, I should, but I don't get to hang with her in the same way I hang with EJ so I'm not regularly flashing the camera in her face.  I didn't even get to see her and the family at Christmas this year.  I may try to in the next couple days.  But Annie sent me this link today and I got to gloat about what a wonderful woman she is, I really love watching her be in the world.  If you got a little time, watch the interview.   She's kind of remarkable.  And yeah, I know I say that about a lot of my friend's kids, but it happens to be true and I happened to  be gifted with the role of Godmother to her.    Woke up this morning to ice and a sudden sense of despair.  I realized the idea of needing a new car was too overwhelming...
