April 30, 2026

April was actually more comforting than the previous three months even though I have spent most of it waiting for doctor appointments in May.  But I've allowed myself to rest and do what my body is telling me to do.  It's very strange and awkward, but I think it's been good for me.



I had an extremely slow day.  I had an extremely horrific nightmare last night.  I made myself get up and go to the bathroom and then I tried to remember it as a whole, which I did.  Then I went back to bed wanting to remember it because I felt it was an important dream.  I don't remember any of it now.  I don't remember who was in it and I remember I was in a car, but that's it.   I think it I'm going to have these epic dreams I'm going to have to keep a dream journal by my bed.  I know last night's was important.

Gerard and I went up to the rookery this afternoon.  It was quite meditative, serene.   There were kingfishers, but too far away for me to capture, so here's one from last year.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  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.
