Just read a beautiful tribute by actor D.B. on the death of his wife, and their relationsherip. His wife had AlS and his description of what she had to go through is terrifying. I had to stop everything that I was doing as I took it all in. Very deeply felt.
Lots of errands today---laundry, library, moved around quite a bit. Feeling kind of strong at this point. Two new books in my life. I just bought As I Lay Dying, by Faulkner, from the neighborhood second hand bookstore. Read the first chapter, really an introduction---very intense, had to really focus---the novel should be good for me to read--will compel me to really focus and lose myself. Second book is about a very different world then the one that Faulkner has created. Its BuzzSaw, an account of the Washginton Nationals' 2019 season, a season in which they overcame some serious problems early on to win the world series. It's a day by day, month by month story--that can be interesting or, even if one enjoys baseball and reading about it, monotonous. The last book I started, about the Yankees of 2018, turned out that way.
Not much else to say---yesterday, had to change my Medicare coverage, because a doctor that I am working with was not in the network of my new plan. So I returned to the old group, but this took some doing, long phone calls, long waits--more complications to be worked out that I did not want to work on today. When I found out I needed to change plans, it came as a shock to me---luckily I figured out what to do, but I still am not clear if everyting worked. Its pragmatic, just approach it one phone call at a time. Nothing else to do .
Rest of the day, some phone calls to friends, will try to listen to the Nets-76 ers game this evening; I have a small bet on the Nets, wish me luck!
