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.
