Country!

Ah, Linn, I have those fragile days as well and for less reason than you have currently, but we each respond to our own reasons. I decided - for me - many years ago that these sorts of days/"depression", perhaps? are ways of giving our inner selves space to heal. That freed me from being worried about my "depression" and, for me, that helped a great deal. I don't know this Archie but I would consider Garnet something to look forward to. A light to guide me into the next piece of future.

Did one more load of laundry today after feeding R and getting him off to work. Also spent 2.5 hours on the phone with my friend/health consultant in PA; a wonderful catching up and sharing of ideas on many subjects. Finally got on the road just in time to get to the country, stop by the Cafe Racine for the grand opening, and get to the writers group - where I understood so little of the spoken language that when I made a comment I was informed, "That's what they were just saying."

It is very hard to determine how much is failure on the part of the brain to process and how much could be a hearing deficit. Up until recently, it seemed clearly a brain dysfunction but tonight seemed different Once I get my health card, I shall see about a hearing assessment. I was close to tears tonight, so frustrating not to understand and to feel left out.

Going to have an early night. Supposed to be above freezing for next few days!!! May see some bare ground up here soon.
