Dear Friends,
Beginning this morning — oh, it seems so long ago — I began working on wrapping things up. Wrapping my life up. Oooh, sounds like a shroud. I don’t mean that. Just that there are so many, many details that I took for granted and now I have to reinvent them in California. I want to figure it all out soon.
Like how much calcium? how much vitamin D?
I spent an hour this morning trying to answer. After my GP appointment in Tallahassee in the spring I was told something about these bone-builders. I was faithful with whatever it was. But when Clark died everything went blank and I stopped taking care of myself, eating frozen dinners and ice cream, sleeping whenever I could, quitting the exercise habits of decades. I didn’t decide to stop; I just stopped.
Now I’m in the dark about that new bone-building recommendation. I called Dr. Perry’s office today, but they don’t know, since they've closed my records. I Googled it: take more calcium; calcium causes problems; eat sardines.
This is just one venture into normalcy; I spent an hour on it this morning. I decided to take some pills and deal with the numbers later.
More issues are what to eat for dinner when you’re cooking for yourself; how to exercise with/without a dog; do condos get as dusty as houses?
In a way it’s exciting -- to be making things up as I go along. To be thinking what would Clark recommend? To be asking what do I want?
Leslie called me out of the blue today. It was morning for me and noon for her.What a lovely surprise!
Love,
k
