Went to the Y, where the endorphin released by my weight set almost put me to sleep. Even Starbucks has not quite awakened me.

Planting of ferns and hellebore.

Maria diagnosed my racking cough as reaction to blood pressure medicine. The things that have REALLY bothered me have never been diagnosed, or helped much, by professional doctors. Always someone remarking, “I had that, that’s–“ Diet and exercise, it seems to me, address about 70% of my ills.

Cantaria is 17 years old, and I’ve been with t from the first. A little shocking. We are better than we were. Weak praise, but praise.
