happy spring


It's raining this first day of spring. And as I've done often during the self-quarantine, I walked to the eye doctor. I have been in that office more in the past month than I have since he opened the practice in the early 80s. I'm glad I had my surgery when I did. The surgery center is closed. I've heard the office staff talking about all the cancellations. I wonder if he will close, or maybe consolidate his hours. His practice is a lot of lasix, cataracts and glaucoma. Two are old people's diseases.

Yesterday was beautiful. The sun was out and it was warm. Like high 60s warm. I finished my annual report and walked during my break. About three blocks from home a former student, who is now a teacher, called. We talked for the next forty minutes and two miles. It was nice to have someone to talk to while walking.

Figen and I planned to do archery on Saturday. Everything is closed. I'd love to just go for a walk with her. Are we allowed? I'm not sure.

Pandemics are a pain in the ass. Life interrupted. It really makes you think about what is important in life. It also makes me want to remodel my whole house. Spending so much time indoors I can see how worn out and ugly everything is.

Enjoy the flowers. These were taken on Saturday, yesterday and today.
