ForestMulch of Shadow
Nov. 8th, 2017 10:14 pmWhen I woke up this morning, I looked out the window and saw the rooftops white with frost in the first light. My groggy brain somehow saw white everywhere and concluded that a magically thick snowfall had covered everything! I swear I saw it! But when I had brushed my teeth and washed my face and looked again, the dream snow had vanished. Even the frost was melting as the sun rose. But something else had fallen. During the night, there was a frost, and the trees, with a sigh, were letting their leaves go. Leaves were still falling, with a patter like rain, and lying in variegated pools around the tree trunks. I spent an hour raking up four bags of leaves, and then had to stop, because that was all the bags we had.
I talked to the nurse at my mother's PCP's office and gave her the correct fax number (again) and she resent the order for Tylenol. It's hard to get a definite answer out of my mother lately, but I'm PRETTY sure she has started taking her Tylenol again as of tonight. This was after she consulted the podiatrist who showed up to cut the residents' toenails today , and asked HIM whether she should take her Tylenol or not. He wisely advised her to trust her doctor and do what the doctor instructed.
Tonight, we saw "Loving Vincent," an animated movie about Vincent Van Gogh. Every frame was painted, in the style of Van Gogh, so it's like walking through his pictures. It was quite marvelous, and lovely, but very sad because it's about how he died, and why, as well as aspects of his life.
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will.
