Sometimes I have a hard time thinking of a title for the day’s post. How does one put a title on stream of consciousness where you are never quite sure where you will end up. Am at the hospital today and just sitting quietly waiting for an idea to come and one of the nurses walking by said something about dangerous barrettes. Wow, that has got to be it right there!
Well, that’s a start. St James Cathedral is just a few blocks away from the hospital and I got a window seat here so I can see it. Two guys in bright orange rain gear are crawling around on one of the two towers doing some kind of work. I prayed for their safety.
Starting to get loud in here, need my ear plugs. Ah, that is better. That’s one of the improvements they could make here is better ambient noise control. What would Hildegard say about that?
Turned Don Quixote into the library this morning. He’s been my buddy for four months. Got a new book going that I just got last weekend because I roomed with a bookseller and I really tried not to go home with any new books but went home with one. It was one that he recommended. It is titled “The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations – Walking alongside people who believe differently”. Sounds like a good one.
I think it is time for a little nap. Oh, the nurses are here to change medications. There is always two of them because they double check everything. This is reassuring. This is my eighty ninth treatment and no screw ups.
So yesterday we had our usual Tuesday afternoon walk and we had tapas outside on the deck at least for a while. It started to sprinkle and we had to retreat to the living room. But hey we got a start on it. Also some talk about started the afternoon walks later as the day light increase is starting to be noticeable. I’m for waiting for tthe day that starts daylight savings in March, that way everyone will know. It will be here before you know it.
So, still don’t know too much about dangerous barrettes but that is probably OK, some things are better left alone. Time to call Catalina in Berkeley and catch up, she and her husband just had a new baby named Jack. Nice!
Bye for now, That’s it for another treatment day blog. Thinking of you, love, Felipe.
Don’t worry too much about what you say, how you say it or title it. It just is always you, just be you and the words will be a gift to us all!
Carol my Handler ~ Thank you. OK, I will blab on to my heart’s content. I really like Dangerous Barrettes as a title, thanks to my nurses. Miss you, Felipe.x
Jack, who was in utero on Phil’s Camino, looks forward to walking it with his own 2 feet in a couple of weeks – yeah, Veranda!
Catalina ~ we are so happy that you are making the trek up here and bringing the family too. It is going to be fun! Felipé.x
