17. Ms. H's perspective

 

Smashburger's for lunch and now a stop at Kroger's on North State. You took yesterday off, Mr. Orndorff. I'm delighted. – Ms. Havisham

 

1527. I was a bit surprised too. We were busy doing who knows what, plus we watched the last new episode of The Crown and Friday night's "Blue Bloods." Carol and I are both getting more forgetful, not much we can do about it, but from now on, if we have a long list at the Kroger's, I'm going in with her to help. She appears to have much less short-term memory than I do; let's say, it is more noticeable. It is all that more important for me to write things down. 1532.

 

Most people are wearing masks. 

 

1535. I forgot to wear one into Kroger's on Columbus Pike last night. Very embarrassing. No one said anything. Carol didn't notice. The one good thing is that between seven and eight there were very few people in the store. I thought I had one on; that's the weird part. As we walked out of the store, and the breeze hit my face, I realized it was still sitting in the car waiting for me to pick it up. 1540.

 

Mr. Orndorff, your mask is not living; it has no sense of waiting or anything else. – Ms. H. 

 

1542. Just a figure of speech, Ms. H.

 

Sometimes you write like you are a figure of speech too. – Ms. H.

 

1544. That is quite bizarre because, in that sentence, I am a second person singular pronoun. 

 

Not from my perspective. – Ms. H. 

 

1547. Now, that is an interesting comment. From your perspective, a representative of my heartansoulanmind, what am I? That is, what is left of me besides heartansoulanmind?

 

Grandma Earth and biochemical physics; mostly consciousness, water, and chemicals. – Ms. H.

 

2250. Consciousness comes; first, consciousness comes with Grandma Earth. 

 

That's the way it read in your blogs; consciousness with a common 'c.' – Ms. H. 

 

2253. Consciousness is similar in essence to background radiation from the Big Bang. 2254.

 

Yes, for purposes in a reasonable analogy in broader understanding within these books and blogs. All for tonight. – Ms. Havisham

 

2258. Good night, Ms. Havisham.

 

Good night, Mr. Orndorff.
