This morning I threw caution to the winds, insofar as torn rotator cuffs allow, and ordered a dozen cotton handkerchiefs from Amazon. Then I doubled the order. So what if I leave a drawer with more handkerchiefs than I absolutely need? I think often of the funniest thing I said in 2020, "I want to keep this." What it was I have forgotten, but it was something very complimentary and unexpected and I wanted to save it where I could retrieve it. Then I laughed and laughed because I had just been told that I was going to go completely blind and might have to undergo enucleanation of the right eye before dying of Lymphoma. Yet here I was acting (for the moment) as if there stretched an indefinite future ahead. It's confidence in the indefinite future that drove my extravagant order of 24 handkerchiefs this morning.
