"Donna and I live together" I worked with her last week.
I have to make Donna a get well blog entry. She's on bedrest a week after I thought I had a possible "life-threatening disease like kidney dialysis", which I don't. It was interesting to have to answer the person working in the coffee shop who was getting too conversational with my, "Donna and I live together." When she was having her coffee we realized that it has now been for the last 10 and a half months. Last week she asked me to work with her Friday and then for the five day week following. She was beginning to feel sick on Friday so I'll look through the periodicals I usually read from between 1900-1930 and find something as an old-fashioned get well card. She worked in Copley Square, Boston before we met, so I held out this illustration- most full page magazine ads from before 1930 can now serve as posters.

Easter
My "tests were normal". No prescription, i.e. I kicked it. It looked serious. While waiting I got a quick e-mail hello from the discjockey on Magic.106.7, David Allen Boucher and he was the only "writer" with which I corresponded. Donna listens to the station, not I, so I noted that this week I had been listening to The Sunny Side of Life, by Gordon Lightfoot and 99 Miles from L.A by Art Garfuncle/Albert Hammond and Mine for Me by Rod Stewart. I worked with Donna Friday morning, and by all accounts might be working with her tommorow morning- usually I type when she's there
This morning:
The little girl next door then brought us luck and two easter eggs. I asked her her name and she introduced herself as Madeline.
Donna asked to go to church and we attended the Park Street Church for our second service there. Actually, In like the building and they included a hymn today by Charles Wesley. I like the artist enough to include a link.

Anne of Green Gables in Photoplay:Jan-Jun 1920-The evening with Donna
I was on my way to Mass General from Government Center when she called me. Thoughts of my own death, nearly for the first time. I went back to her apartment and she allowed me to sleep. I'm weak. I hadn't experienced it in this way, so it is time for reflection. She me made dinner, a fish sandwich.
She mentioned Anne of Green Gables and I found this copy. Its the novelization of the film adaptation . If you need this copy, its just something I would give her if she liked.

A rose for Donna, the weekend we slept late
Friday I brought Donna a rose and we were thinking of going to Boston Saturday morning, and then returning again for a church service at The Park Street Church, which we attended together last week. She had an odd question, whether God would forgive her if she didn't make it to the service-so when she was shopping for clothes and I saw a King James Bible, I noticed a volume of ecclesiastical poetry with passages laid out in concordance for specific times of meditation. I brought her a jewelry box to go with it. We did go to breakfast (eggs and french toast) yesterday (Saturday) morning but have really allowed the weather to keep us here.
I got a little bit of a jolt when looking for copies of films to study when I came across a Harold Pinter, meaning writing a novel can always be sensitivity-depth, so it is with that in mind that I thought of her and whether she would like a book.
