No follow-up on the possible “murderer” in the neighborhood. My thought was that if there had actually been a fugitive in the area, by the time we heard about it s/he was a long distance away.

I finally made my way through the process of making an appointment for my COVID booster shot …. today at 1100. I bummed a ride with a neighbor and got there to find a sign on the door that said “Closed”. No explanation. I had not received any word about the situation. No email. No phone call.
So we went to lunch and talked a lot. All in all, it could have been worse.
Will update you later this week.

Weather has been nippy … frost in the morning and chilly days, even when the day turns sunny.

My Thanksgiving was quiet as it has become my habit since 2017.
To paraphrase Louise Erdrich …
Life will try to break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself just sit and listen. Tell yourself you tasted as much life as you could.
My day was quiet but I was and am grateful.
So … ‘til next week …
