1. Nursing friend slept over Saturday night and had to be up at 6, so naturally I woke at that hour and was able to send her out into the rain with a borrowed umbrella and a croissant for the road. Monday as I was falling back asleep from a bathroom visit got a 7:15 call for an 8:30 shift. Today had only a 10 am appointment, so set my clock for 9 just to be on the safe side, went to bed at 11:30 certain of waking with the light as ever, and was ripped from a sound sleep by the alarm. Have been a bit fuzzy all day in consequence.

Irises are out all over the neighbourhood, as they should be. Allergies are also redivivus, alas.
