Today 24Sept2023

It was still Sunday night when I started this blog. Sunday is the day when I have to write two blogs.  I thought I should start a little early.

I am outside at the food cart pod(s) by City Hall in Beaverton. I am outside, having just had a dessert crepe and drinking a beer–definitely a Beaverton thing. Today, the high was 60F (16C), and we never saw any blue in the sky. The Oregon mist has been all day with an occasional rain to test our resolve. We wear coats and hats and pretend it is customary to stand in the rain, talk, and order dinner to eat outside. The rains start about now in our part of the Pacific Northwest, and there will be a fewer and fewer clear days. In November, the clear days will disappear and only visit a few times until May or June (or July). Our climate has changed these last five years, and it is hard to predict when the rains will end. Last year, it was in May, and we had our first excellent June.

I was with Susie at the hummingbird house before coming here and having Jambalaya from a cart and a local beer with it. There she had just been set in bed when I arrived in Air Volvo at Susie’s place at Allegiance Senior Care LLC, 9925 SW 82nd. Ave. Portland (Tigard), OR 97223; phone (503) 246-4116. Susie said she did not want to watch a movie, so we did M.A.S.H., season six. It is pretty good, and I do not remember it that well. Susie did not start to sleep until 3ish. I tried to be quiet. I had a call for work at 4:05 and managed to do that while Susie slept through it.

It was raining and cold, and Susie would rather stay inside and be comfortable today. I sat with her in her room all afternoon to keep her company. I wrote more for my Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) adventure and got Susie an Ensure to drink. A quiet, good day.

Before this, I was home writing a blog and following along at work. I reheated some tacos for breakfast and later had a cinnamon roll as a late snack. I heated some baked beans and made a cold ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. I woke at 8ish, just in time for the 8:30 status call at work.

I have written more D&D, including a poem to help the players. I have a perfect one from an old adventure from the 1980s that I copy from.

Well, that is about all the exciting stuff. Thanks for reading.
