WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

I rested here awhile after the second cataract procedure
9/24

 Then home for the month long drops regimen,
but I could see within a day
9/25
I'm reading again!  An old favorite

Ventured out to the book launch of poet friends
9/26

 Saw the moon through buildings on the way home

 On the night of the full lunar eclipse I was with the
Amateur Astronomers of New York up on the High line
9/27

 It was awesome

 9/29
I made a melange of raw kale, apple, carrot, and cashew

 Then, the temperature dropped and the rain began.
 10/1
I packed for my planned week away on long Island.  But, in the morning I woke up blighted hard by a nasty cold
10/2
Remedies of choice + sleep and soup

Kept hoping it would let go
10/3

It rained and rained + no heat
10/4

 A trip to the market for supplies during a break in the weather
Noted wild grass growing beautifully

I lifted my head from the sick bed imagining sunlight

 New addition of an old remedy from Ananda days.
Mix with honey-take teaspoons every hour or so.

 The rain departed and skies got blue
but I'm still ill and never got away

 Consulting turtles

 Reading blogs, emails and Face book

Changed my cover shot

10/5
 Ventured out for a meditation and encountered the birthday party
for one of the monks at Zen Center for Contemplative care
 (that's Koshin's name on a delicious cake)

 10/6
 A night time walk around Gramarcy Park
Crickets and cicadas still singing
"Get well-Get well-Get well Michelle"

Back to bed

Perhaps tomorrow...
