friday foto, monday edition

[ritaxis]

Gloria was much improved yesterday. We took her for a couple of short walks and some turns in the wheelchair. She still screamed when they took her blood pressure -- she tolerated the manual cuff better than the automatic one. She kept telling me to go away when she was agitated. I wrote down some of thethings she said. For a while she was calling me "citizen," and I don't know which of several places it came from. She told me, too, to "find the fields I like," which meant "go away."



Here's Rolfe and Gloria Sunday afternoon, which is therefore not a friday foto:





Here's a better friday foto, because I took it before friday. Look at it cropped, first:




Now look at the original:




Last, here's the reason I thought the stellaria littoralis might be a kind of claytonia:




That's the s. littoralis and the claytonia (miner's lettuce) growing together at Gloria's house.

Gloria looks pretty good!

Lots of people have great pain with the automatic BP machines. I not only have lots of pain, but they don't work on me. Both times will come up E. And then I have a giant bruise for weeks, so I just ask for the manual BP these days.
