Docent at the cathedral yesterday. Had a couple from Minnesota who spent their time relating how Governor Walz was a disappointment. About halfway through my stint, phlebitis struck. I did get home to my pills in time to render it not-that-awful, but I sat through a GMC planning session wishing everyone would shut up and go home, and I did have a night of such deep shivering my entire torso is sore this morning. Longed to stay in bed, but it was cleaning lady day, so I headed to the river (you can feel bad in one place as well as another) where I watched a father and son fish, wrote a poem, watched bears playing on the far side of the river. I called out to the fisherboy so he could see them too.
