Well, I really shouldn’t eat or drink again for quite some time… Two birthday lunches, one on Saturday here with J&R, one on Sunday with Chita and Len, and then a wonderful zoom session with my mostly NY homies (plus Joan in CA, Dino in Arizona?) – sooo much fun to see everyone – I feel very well celebrated! Can’t wrap my mind around the actual milestone – it truly doesn’t compute… But there it is… Starting another chapter…
Sis is trying very hard to help however she can, which is heartening – every little bit helps. She is getting dressed every day now – not constantly seeing her in her nightie and dressing gown is a big improvement. And we actually had an early birthday meal at Txoko the week before – her first outing, other than hospital and/or physio, in over a year. And I got her down to the sea on her birthday – all good forward motion…
Speaking of weather, the island is bone dry, the earth cracked already – so little rain has fallen this winter, it’s really scary. It looks like late May, not early April. I fear that there will be a fair amount of attrition in the garden this year – time to let things go if they can’t survive on their own, or at least with only minimal help…
