A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

The rain isn't going to stop for the dock work today.

Sit on the kitchen chair, unwrap the damp bandage, and prepare the saline solution to debride the ankle.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing again; the humidity is making the gauze stick. I need to clean that infection before it gets truly angry.

Boat's tomorrow. Dock holds one more offload.

Set the kettle on the stove and pull two mugs down from the shelf.

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. Barometer's falling and the rain's settling in. Dock work can wait — the tide's wrong anyway. She's steady with the debridement. Always is.

Good. I need you to check something on the dock - the north piling's still showing stress fractures. If the tide pushes too hard tomorrow...

Wrap the cleaned ankle with fresh gauze, then head to the porch to check the barometer reading.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer's dropping faster than I thought - he's already preparing for the unload, but I need to finish this infection first.

I'll walk it at high water. Tap every bolt.

Walk to the porch door and pull on my oilskin jacket.

💭 peek at the thought

She saw what I saw. North piling's been singing under load since the last swell. If the boat comes in heavy tomorrow, the stringer takes the hit.

🌿 Jenny02:41

I'm checking the soil pH map before we go. If it's dropped more than half a point...

Cut open the medical kit and retrieve the doxycycline blister pack.

💭 peek at the thought

He's touching my jacket like I'm contagious - what's he really afraid of?

🔧 Kevin02:41

Take the pills. I'll check the map.

Step onto the porch after her, pull the notebook from the high shelf, and flip to the pH log page.

💭 peek at the thought

She's mapping the garden while her ankle's hot enough to brand iron. Stubborn as the bedrock.
