I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
Lately I've been very interested in weather and Alzheimers, neither of which is predictable or controllable. Weather has always been something I notice, perhaps in relation to gardening or plans to do indoor or outdoor activities, usually involving house upkeep. I like knowing what the moon is doing, how meteorologists collect information, how they forecast or how they cover weather events during and after the fact.
I look for measurements, whether it is rain, snow, wind or the UV index. I've been learning new terms for my own amusement or maybe to keep from being saddened by the confusing relationship I now have with my husband. Like some nights, the stars are so bright and clear then an hour later, clouds cover more than half of the sky. I might be mistaking sundowning with noctilucent clouds, but I think it's the wrong time of year for this hemisphere.
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been
lyrics, by Paul Simon
