In case there are any Avocado Tree Fan Club Members wondering how My Pit is doing. It had a few unsettling weeks when leaves were dropping and things looked- sad (after the transplant to a larger pot). But a week or so out on the vestibule and the removal of 6 leaves from the bottom of the stem and we're back in business.
This week is just about perfect. Sunny and warm but not much moisture outdoors and cool and dark inside. Rain is expected by Wednesday. My neighbor is returning tomorrow so my house sitting duties will end. Well, actually, I just watered outdoor plants and carried in mail and packages. But it was something that gave some structure to my days. A job. Purpose.
Here in the house- no longer making the daily grilled cheese. He seems to have stopped eating lunch. Perhaps because he never knows what time it is. It has been difficult losing that mid day structural point. For me. He isn't aware of missing structural points other than breakfast and dessert times. Possibly exactly 12 hours apart.
I finished removing the red cross stitches from the square tablecloth. It actually exhausted my eyes more than my scissor fingers. The cloth will go into the next wash. Whenever that is.
I am considering whether I want to re-start ironing my summer linen shirts. So, I look less wrinkled. But then I think- who actually notices older women? No one. And if they do notice- do they care??? Like an unwatched clock- does it still tick?

What do you think would happen if you made grilled cheese for yourself?
As for being invisible, it's a superpower.
