Shaking off the echoes of yesterday

[sovay]

How has this month been going? I woke up to spring and didn't even realize. It looks the part: the occasional crocus, a faint fluff of clouds in a harebell sky. Hestia is absorbing the sun-flood from my desk. I will be celebrating the equinox with an MRI. My major accomplishment of yesterday was successfully wresting a permit from the Parking Department. I am filing a request for an intercalary year.

By me the weather is still "erratic" -- 70s predicted for tomorrow and 50s predicted for the day after that. I am anxious for it to stay steadily warm enough for me to put my over-wintering houseplants outside.

I am fully expecting the seasonal reversion to winter any second now.

Here's to the best possible outcome from the MRI.

Thank you!

Hooray for Spring!

Strongly bound to forythia in my youth.

Bring your very best foamy earplugs to the MRI (mother of devils the things are getting even louder!)

Happy spring to you!

I was not allowed to use mine! I had to accept the official earplugs which were as usual nowhere near as effective. Ow. I was, however, permitted to retain my earrings which are gold wires, tricky to remove or replace, and have gone through brain MRIs before without suddenly becoming magnetically sensitive, which did make the experience easier.

I learned at lunch today that when my college advisor was young and dating his wife, she was working as a bank teller, so on the spring equinox he drove through her lane and put crocuses through the pneumatic tube to her. I find this story delightful and thought you might too.

Thank you for telling me. I love it.

May the MRI earn its keep by proving useful.

My crocuses are keeping an extremely low profile. But I should check on the snowdrops. P.

Thank you! I wish your snowdrops well.
