I packed up some books in the computer room this morning. I went to the Chiropractor for my check up. I started to edge the other side of the front walk but it started raining. I took the grass and dirt outback and swept the walk. It was time to walk Danny so we went out in the mist.
I went to feed my fish and found Orangeade had gone to that great fish bowl in the sky. She was old and hadn’t been eating the last few days. She burrowed herself under a plant. She’d been doing that for several weeks. All the fish are gone now except for Sticky the Placo. I didn’t buy any new ones because of my plans to sell the house. When I get relocated, I’ll get some more fish. I didn’t get anything else done. I looked through my mail and found a flower catalog. They had a flowering plant that does well in the shade and would be perfect but I realized when I sell my house, I’m not going to be here. I felt sad for the rest of the afternoon. Sometimes it’s hard to come to terms with my life without Ted. He was so much a part of everything we did.
I didn’t go to Toastmasters. I just didn’t feel up to it.
Yesterday, when I got back from walking Danny, I heard the cry of the hawk. I looked up and saw five red-tailed hawks circling above my street. They had caught a warm thermal and were soaring upward. We also saw a Turkey Vulture land in a tree just above our heads. They are creepy. I told it to go away, we’re still kicking.
