Not the first time. I remember, back in 1994, that we had about 15 inches of snow on March 15 in Baltimore. It melted quickly, but still snarled things up quite a bit.
I am better. Getting better each day. However, I have come to realize that this affliction I have,
Late Radiation Cystitis, may eventually destroy the tissue of the bladder. Watching what I eat/drink may help to avoid this for a good while. I did think to myself, "Is this what will eventually kill me?"
No use in worrying about it. My general numbness of emotion helps. My friends tell me I am so strong and brave, but I can be so phlegmatic because generally I am numb.
So it goes, as it says in Slaughterhouse Five, which I just finished with my students.
Meanwhile, in the larger world, Russia has invaded and attacked Ukraine, and the people are suffering terribly. I don't know how this will end. I keep thinking about how Germany invaded Poland in 1939.
