about 2:30-yy-have finished all my tasks (laundry, banking, book searching) and am back at the apartment---aside for food for supper will not go out again today. Time becomes motionless, undefined, nothing to do but read and use the computer. Of course, there are some things that I am avoiding. I should find out what kind of co pay the radiation treatments that I expect to receive when the chemo is finished will cost. I should be considering the virtues and non virtues of remaining with my current Medicare supplementary plan. Are their less expensive co pays for the treatment that I am receiving, or do all the supplementary plans keep the prices similar? It would behoove me to find the answers to this and other pertinent questions, as I am seeing a lot of doctors between now and the end of the treatment. But I slack it off
Tomorrow it is supposed to rain all day---will really be stuck in the apartment---I suppose I can find out some of the answers to these questions tomorrow or Friday. Today, then it is just between surfing the computer and the books---one, the John Grisham mystery-novel that I interrupted so that I could immerse myself in Sherwin Nuland's autobiography---and secondly, a book of short stories by a writer whom I really admire---Kathleen Collins. I found the book on the one dollar shelf in front of the used book store which I wrote about in yesterday's entrees. Ms. Collins, who died in the late eighties, was the director--writer of the movie, Losing Ground--one of my favorites. She is considered one of the finest afro-American writers of her generation, even if her output was small. Looking forward to getting into those stories. What else...? Well, no sports tonight, for the first time in a long time. Where does that leave me..? Listening to Bob Sherman and his young artists---going on youtube for some old baseball films...? I suppose anything is possible. Well, let's see what happens, I will report soon.
