OK.\u00a0 Turns out I had read the numbers right.\u00a0 No sudden shower of wealth.\u00a0 No happy Buddha of good fortune.\u00a0 Also, no tears.\u00a0 We have enough, more than most.\u00a0 We have each other, family, the dogs, our property, our friends, our creative work.\u00a0 And our Latin.\u00a0 None of that changes, so the amount of money is just what it is.\u00a0 Still, that brief interlude when we thought we had an unexpected windfall made us realize that we could absorb any amount of extra cash.\u00a0 Big surprise there, eh?<\/p>\n
In for my 6 month eye exam.\u00a0 A space invaders day with visual field dots and the clicker.\u00a0 The machine thought I pressed the button too frequently, but I just followed the tech’s suggestion to press the clicker when I thought I saw something.\u00a0 My pressures are normal, my nerve unchanged.\u00a0 Jane West, my eye doc, said, “Someone else might look at this and say its physiologic.”\u00a0 How’s that?\u00a0 “That you were just born with unusual nerves.\u00a0 Still, they’re round and they stay the same from photograph to photograph.”\u00a0 They took portraits of my retina’s every once in a while.\u00a0 Physiologic, eh?\u00a0 Explains a lot.<\/p>\n
Home.\u00a0 Reread my e-mails.\u00a0 Oops.\u00a0 Education for an exhibition I’m touring, Until Now.\u00a0 So, brief nap, back in the car, back into the city.\u00a0 I spent an hour after the education wandering the museum, looking at the Art Remix objects.\u00a0 I have a Remix tour on May 6th.<\/p>\n
I also checked out two print shows, The Wild Things and Old Testament prints.\u00a0 These are well worth catching.\u00a0 Prints are the ephemerals of the museum, their sensitivity to light means their exhibition has limits.\u00a0 They can’t be exposed to even dull light for very long.\u00a0 So they come up, like daffodils, hang out for a brief time, then they’re gone, often not to be seen again for years.<\/p>\n
Kate went to see the back surgeon today.\u00a0 He thinks her right hip pain may well respond to a hip replacement.\u00a0 I hope so.\u00a0 This has gotten pretty bad, too.\u00a0 It’s not as bad as it was, but before was really bad.\u00a0 More tests.\u00a0 More doctor’s appointments.\u00a0 Still, perhaps a little hope at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
