Rexy

Rexy trimmed
My cold doesn't seem to be going away. I'm getting fainting spells each time I cough ... just like the onset of angina that I've experienced many times before. The whole body wobbles, the head is spinning and like a deep sleep I close my eyes and blackout. It's very calming though. There's total silence. Everything around doesn't exist. I wonder if death is like this.

Anyway everyone is worried about me going out alone because I might blackout and hurt myself or I might lose my memory and get lost. Everyone tells me to call back when I reach my destination so they'll be assured. I'm lucky to have people who care for me.

After my disclaimer last Sunday, viewership dropped  from 1800 to 40 ... which is normal. 

Doberman on walk
There's an article about our friars and nuns in Galilee who've decided to stay in their churches and with their local communities while missiles from Lebanon continue to rain down on them. It's a nice read about the daily heroism and commitment to their mission.  https://www.custodia.org/en/news/galilee-the-fraternity-that-defeats-fear/

Rexy the Pomeranian came for an afternoon last Saturday. It's always good to have him around ... he just wants to play till he's tired. High energy. Some mornings on my way to work I meet a doberman on his morning walk. He's about 3-4 years old. Docked tail and cropped ears ... not what many people nowadays agree ... but here we're decades behind the animal rights scene. I miss my dogs Rex and Regis. It's almost 15 years since they died.
