Leaf Me Alone

Today's post will be written literally as leaves are falling on my head.   I just got out of radiology ~ ~ ~ (those are x-rays on my hand) and decided to log in here at the hospital's indoor atrium.  This medical facility has a waterfall, grass, flowers, trees, and a Dunkin Donuts.  It's beautiful here and sometimes I come just to relax and drink coffee with sick people. 

In the moment, a disgruntled hospital worker (or groundskeeper) is shaking the dead leaves out of the tree planted just up the hill from me.  Yes, the hill. In the hospital lobby.  It's working, the tree shaking. The dead leaves are falling.  Onto my computer and into my lap. If my thumb didn't hurt, I would signal for him to take a hike. Or find a rake.
