What Did We Do Today?

Monday June 15 Livingston, TX

A Somewhat Less Poor Linda Day

By this afternoon Linda had been taking the antibiotics for 48 hours and I was looking for an sign of improvement. Meanwhile she was doing what she does best, leveling vast swaths of forest. To me those sounds were wonderfully uplifting because for the past few days I had not been hearing them as she struggled to sleep, continually tossing and turning. Deafened but Happy Bob.

Tropical Storm Bill is headed towards the Texas coast and we were seeing some of the leading edge rains. Things are all relative. In this case the rain was awesome. While all the felled trees were being removed so that Ms. Chainsaw could once again resume cutting, I mentioned to her that the storm was coming and that we may, and I want to emphasize I only said MAY, be accompanied with some 40 mph gusts. I thought that in response Linda had kind of implied that I might possibly want to raise the window awnings and lower the MotoSat dish.

Obviously I misunderstood her because because it wasn't long before she was wondering why I hadn't gone outside to raise the awnings. Was I ever happy to hear those words. Three plus days of listless behavior while occasionally grimacing in pain on her part and she was actually raising her voice to me. In response I could only smile and ignore her. Pretty soon she was telling me in her very special and quite vocal way that I should do it right NOW. She may not be better but it was sure sign she was on the mend. Happy Bob.

With that in mind we end the day with this quote from entertainer and activist Lena Horne: "Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death."
