I devote myself wholeheartedly to recovery from pneumonia. This is very pleasant as it gives me the opportunity to do very little without the usual guilt.

I go for a CT scan. It reveals that my lungs are drying out nicely but also that I have 2 fractured ribs. I fell when I was at the Teddy Bears’ Picnic in November. https://thequietripple.com/2025/10/23/bear-minimum/

I thought my ribs were bruised and just waited for the pain to go away, which it eventually did. Not bruised but broken.

Hayes St is just behind the house. Lovely old Edwardian houses, excellent coffee shops and restaurants.

I visit James in the Botanical Garden. Spring is here and Camelias and Magnolias are happy.

On Sunday mornings, I stroll down the Panhandle to the Farmers’ Market. https://www.pcfma.org/market/divisadero-farmers-market

I think I will have a little nap.
