spring and all

The title of a William Carlos Williams' book that I particularly like and probably haven't read since grad school. Not a lot to report here. Lots of heavy rain has the yard so green that the weeds look gorgeous along with the plants and flowering trees. Dinner last night with an old friend was followed by a late night trip to the ER that lasted all night. I'm off the new medication for now, calling two specialists on Monday. Steve and I fell into bed at 8am and slept until 11:30am, when I woke to find an invitation from Hannah Grieco to visit her class via Zoom for a CNF editors' panel and a note from CURRENT with edits on "Shoplifting," which I haven't looked at yet. Finished up edits on a group of micros on teachers' pets yesterday  that I think might be ready to send out. Need to do more research on Virginia Woolf but I think I have the outlines of the chapter/essay/flash completed. Courtney sent me Helene Hanff's 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD and it was perfect reading for the ER. I hope I never have to go there again. Exercising 25 minutes a day on instructions from the new cardiologist. It's surprisingly hard to fit in just 25 minutes, but invigorating. Steve and I have been walking at Lake Chabot. I've been listening to music on the exercise bike the last couple of days because it's been raining. Here's Lake Chabot.
