Two Things

One guy that I was talking to commented that, for him, getting one thing done every day was enough. It is not like when you were working and then had to do shopping, yard care, and all those other things. Now, to us retired guys, one thing a day makes for a complete day. Got something done, yeah it is good.

Today I am feeling great because I got two things done.

As a member of the Portland Art Museum, I get to visit it for free as much as I like. Even better it opens up an hour earlier for members. As it turns out I don’t take advantage of that benefit too much. I have not noticed people to be in abundance yet. The official title of the show, the special show, on now is “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism”. There is a lot to see in this show. I have gone four times (I think that is how much) and once again I saw new to my eyes works. Like two paintings of the same subject showing the differences in their approaches to the same person. Or a line of portraits from the late 20s through the 40s. 1930 featured a, well had the photo was not featured at all, but if you are a photographer seeing an Edward Weston and Imogene Cunningham is special. There was also a series of drawing by Frida Kahlo with her notes in preparation for a painting. T have until June 5 to get my fill. Hopefully, I will not be discovering new to my eyes pieces by then.

How is your experience with getting anything done with a medical person? For me, it involves waiting. Minimum 15 minutes. I take books every time. Or meditate. Or something that I have to do because just sitting there and waiting is not what I want. Today, however, was different. Show up, park, figure out where I need to be, walk-in, and BOOM I am into the maw of the medical folks and I do not stop moving until I am done. If only everything could be like getting an initial shot or a booster. Which is what I did today. Got my second booster for Covid. — ea

I might have two things scheduled for tomorrow. But, I den! + know, I do not want to overwhelm myself here. We will find out.
