My jaw pain returned massively
this afternoon. I have spent the time since trying to reduce it without noticeable
results. Thankfully, I have a dental appointment at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.
I missed taking new
photographs of the kittens today. When I finally went back into the walk-in
closet all three were huddled together beneath the hanging clothes. I decided not
to awaken them with the flash from my camera.
I am beginning to miss not
having a television set. In recent days I have been watching the BBC series Wallander
on Netflix. Actually, at a cost of less than $9.00 a month, Netflix is much
superior to Direct TV at over $100.00 per month. I do miss some cable programs,
such as Chelsea Lately, baseball, and soccer.
In the last episode of Wallander
that I watched, his father, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, says to
him: Find someone to sit with. You’re not
strong enough to do it alone. Nobody is. Those words struck a note, if not
a chord, within me.
I have now been living
alone for about 16 years. I joke about being a hermit and perhaps I have become
one. A gentleman hermit, I would like to think: a cat gentleman. A gentleman
hermit living with cats. That’s me, I suppose.

"A gentleman hermit living with cats" Yes, Rev Saint, that is you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, Rex. Just maybe.
DeleteI like that description too! But you are not a hermit, Nick - not as long as you have the internet and so many friends from all over who are reading your words and having conversations with you. It is amazing how different life is now with computers.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mauigirl, you are right. However, I think I do prefer live interaction with the kitty kids over human beings.
