toward a new year

there are MANY spirals.  i think Enough.   I can make some now for my own blanket,  of things i love in their own order.   I think so.   

and as it goes,   NYT wrote me an article re my thoughts about covid protocol.  This morning it was there.   What It's Like Now That Many Have Moved On.    helping me become easier with it all.   How it's up to me to do what i need to do.  But be easier on those who need to move on…move on,  maybe a kind of    Just Going.   ok.   

Rain has begun again.   Puppy just came in.

there's a movie     Women Talking

    My friend and I talked of this tonight…how to live when this is the way of it…covid just here, always. It is hard for me to let go and relax, comfortably. I still choose to mask and stay home as much as possible. When will that change? I wonder.
    even next July, the planned trip to meet the grandson…to be able to find comfort in doing that. sigh.
    I heard interviews of this movie on NPR. Powerful. The ex’s family had very rigid rules for women. I did not fit in well.

    Glad you are making one for yourself too. 🙂
    It was over 60 degrees yesterday morning. So strange to think it was so cold last week…

    I read that article and thought of you. We have pretty much moved on from masking – haven’t got covid yet, and have okay lung function. But going to see a newborn baby in January and protective thoughts come up… I’ve heard about this movie too, haven’t seen it. It’s based on a book by an author I want to read, Miriam Toews.

    After the blizzard moved through my husband went to his sister’s, 5 hours away, I stayed home. He’s on his way home today. He called me last night to say his sister tested positive for covid on Monday morning after hosting christmas at her house. My husband has a heart condition. I have been ever so careful all these many months for fear of bringing covid home to him. I’m sitting with that today. Concerned, trying not to be angry. So now we’ll see…

    we weigh things. Newborn babies, the mothers of. What is Worth It.
    i probably won’t see the movie. i don’t know if i’ll read
    the book. I think about WHY this is the movie that is
    foremost in these days….
    i watch a lot of UTube about the making of, the women.
