OCTOBER 26

Yesterday I hit a wall. The whole journey to normal seemed so long, endless, really. Intellectually I know that’s not true. Emotionally, it sure felt like it. Tired of sitting. Tired of TV. Happily, Terri was home and I really enjoy her company.

Today she’s at work all day and I will be alone with only Jessie, our cocker spaniel. I wish she could talk.

Rains have come to Austin. Forecasters are calling for 2 to 3 inches of rain today. It should be a good day to get snug in my chair with a book. Maybe Aleve will help with what I can only think to call inflammation. I will call a friend in Tennessee and usually those calls are full of laughs. Laughter IS the best medicine. Reader’s Digest was right.
