Turn and face the strange

I walked out around Leverett and Wards Pond. The leaves are coming out in that bright green of spring and it's lovely. I'm feeling much better. The vaccine had me feeling poorly for several days. Not really sick, just that feeling of an oncoming illness. Aches in my spine, fatigue, scratchy throat and swollen glands. It's interesting to know that it's my immune response. I haven't been sick in so long, it felt novel. I kept working though, as I had already taken time off for the vax and MD appts.

Big changes here at home. Violet goes to in-person school on Monday. This is her last day of having high school at home. We applied for Honey's passport this week and wheels are in motion for her to go to Dublin. This time of the four of us on a desert island (with never ending food and TV) is ending. Will we ever look back on it as a good time? Not forgetting that there could still be twists in the road.

This week I finished the second season of Unforgotten. It was very good in that it surprised me. As always, the acting is superb. It somehow rose able the melodrama and has diverse characters. I finished Philosopher Kings last night, which has a great whiz bang ending. I like a good whiz bang. Again, surprise me.

Starting to look forward to Ptown. Looking at restaurants and activities. We can be out every night. No KIDS! Lots of biking, KAYAKING, sunsets, booze and beaches with no one to stop me. Just keep swimming.
