Field Notes- Thursday, May 25th. In FLUX.......feeling off balance.


 You get this image again.  The CRAP my friend sent along with a recipe continues to mess up my desktop.  This morning- I couldn't access the picture file so I had to drag something over.  The tiny images are difficult for me to SEE.  So, You get this.  Again.  I once thought of open shelving.  No Longer.

Her crap is littering the in box each and every morning.  It just keeps showing up.

I just deleted this image from the file.  That's how I will roll going forward- deleting what I use here. There may be a period of no image.....we'll live with that. I am learning to live with loss. And less.

Haircut day.  Difficult Parking Day.  For husband.  And then we will stop for Bird Food. At Tractor Supply.  On the way home on the right side.  He has forgotten where it is.......He has forgotten (I think) where the hair cut takes place.  Otherwise he seems normal.  Here at home.  Outside...not.  

I am guessing things here in the house are easy to remember.  Breakfast. Newspaper.  Word Search with four tangerines on the Sunporch.  Coloring Books.  Puzzle.  Chicken Parm at around 4 pm.  Television shows he likes or Puzzle.  Bedtime.  Same same every day..... I try and facilitate that. Same. Same.

The Water People came yesterday.  The tech used to report usage was no longer "supported"- I imagine the company folded........so a new company and new tech had to be found.....and all the houses in Town worked on to add this new tech....... and now my water usage will be reported........ correctly? we'll see.

More trucks.  Out on the street.  Neighbor getting something done.

Our Lawn Tractor and Walk Behind Mower are supposed to be returned today.  While we are gone or when we are back home.  No time given.... It's been a month.   I need to eat.....

In answer to that very important question: Tomorrow daughter is taking husband to gas station to fill the gas cans with him- as he no longer knows how to use the credit card to fill his car tank with gas. she will do that and the cans and the credit card.

We are moving slowly.......like with a frightened animal....
