Thanksgiving was a more subdued affair than usual. I didn’t cook for the whole extended family, or much at all for that matter: aside from some oversized sourdough rolls (my pandemic baking project!) we ordered everything carry out the day before to reheat on thanksgiving. But we still bought some fun new table decorations and the food was great. Plus we were able to see family via zoom and FaceTime, including family that we wouldn’t normally see on thanksgiving so although I am looking forward to having everyone together next year, this year was still a net positive. Lots to be thankful for.

This has been a strange week! I had a bit of a melt-down, with the news of several deaths of friends - unrelated to the virus - and a health issue of my own (my back crashed on me!) So I am not my usual heel-clicking ebullient self today. One of the issues that I am finding interesting is how - after 3 months - I have gotten used to this isolation. I wonder if it will be easy to go back to normal. There is a strange kind of comfort in the repetitiveness of these days. Several of my friends are struggling with the same awareness. We may be permanently changed!!??
