I don't know if the groundhog saw his shadow today, or not. Had he lived here, he wouldn't have. The heavy overcast assured that no shadows other than its own fell on the rain-saturated ground. I saw a small bird drinking from a pool of rain water which had accumulated under the mulberry tree. The acorn woodpeckers were on the utility pole again, but there were only four of them today. All the purple gladiolas along the fence are blooming, though their spiky green leaves droop from the hours of pounding rain. Three camellias have bloomed, as well, and add a bright splash of red to the gray and green view from my window. The rain finally stopped late in the afternoon, so perhaps the moon will emerge tonight and make the raindrops still hanging from twigs and clinging to bushes sparkle with its limpid light. That would be nice.

Reset Forty-Eight, Day Thirty-Three
Barely keeping my eyes open after midnight, probably because I got no afternoon or evening nap Sunday. Also I'm feeling a bit sick to my stomach. I…

Reset Forty-Eight, Day Thirty-Two
Didn't feel like eating what I'd planned for dinner Friday. That was like three days in a row. Instead I dug out a microwave meal from the freezer.…
