Today's public health gesture

well over SEVEN hours of sleep.


4+ hours then up and then go back to bed for almost 3 more.


12 pack of berry LaCroix
Birthday Present!
The delivery is
a big part of the present

Let's hear it for a month of almost nonstop Zoom excursions and vigorous exercise yesterday. I should not feel so achy today just because of exercise yesterday. 


Wonderful writing group: before next meeting a month out I will elaborate in starters generated from the prompts:

My mother is a purple carboard box full of cans of fizzy fruit flavored water and labelledparly in aforeigh languages.


Of else the blue and green dinosaur is the perfect metaphor for my dissertation because. 


Channel Gogol. Channel kafka. Channel magical realism.


Oh and my public health gesture while listening to the biweekly community covid call: Change AmbassadorThwack's twitter name to Amb. Thwack Vaxxed and Masked."

So the rest of the bunch gets sauted and frozen for soup.  I brought yams to microwave if anyone wanted but kitchen logistics clobbered that.
