Odetta (December 31 1930 - December 2 2008).

Foggy morning

The morning is cool and grey, made calm and beautiful by a light fog that muffles sounds and hides things in the distance. Tires hiss on the dampened roads, and pedestrians materialize out of the mist a block away.

I wrap the beautiful, gentle fog around my mind and try not to look too far ahead.

Colleen[15]: The Cat came back...

It was incredibly nice to have Colleen home for a Wednesday, even if all there was time for was the shopping, and a little less than three hours at home. The house misses her when she's gone.

I had originally decided to work from home on Wednesdays, but had meetings in both the morning and afternoon. I did skip my lunchtime walk and spend an hour or so with her instead.

She's in pretty good spirits, considering, and feeling a lot better.
