I went out to the Arboretum this morning. I chose to drive on the Jway, even though it makes me nervous. Bold choices today. Yesterday, I went to Somerville to the doctor and remembered how only a few weeks ago that trip made me nervous. I need to widen the circle. It got hot at the Arboretum and there were mosquitos. Will I West Nile? Stay tuned. It was nice to see it in full bloom. Rain the rest of the day. I'm painting my nails because we are going to see Barbie downtown tonight. Nice to be part of the Zeitgeist. And to get out of our habitrail. Yesterday was the last for my colleagues. It was very heavy on me. Still is. The other shoe dropped.

We have been getting the mail on Brook St. Violet has been playing keyboard and has now started playing our piano. It's great to hear. I got new glasses yesterday. I was astonishingly blind and now everything thing is in high def. And it's a mess. Is this a metaphor? 

Last night we watched SNW, which was actually interesting. Tried making a Campari spritz to salute my comrades and soothe my mind. Turned out too bitter. Aperol is better. It was hard to go a week without seeing Honey. Soon it will be two weeks, then almost a year. We must try for the December trip. Ironically, she might have more time to talk when she's in Israel.

The future seems slippery and impenetrable. But we have Barbie tickets and plans to see Macbeth TOMORROW

I bought some. A huge bunch I could barely carry home but they are purple and irresistible. They remind me of home. Of my mother and summer in Phoenix Mills. That the kind of detail that would look well in author bio.

Last night Honey went back to camp and promptly broke her glasses. I mailed her old ones out this AM. It's a good reminder that when I travel, I should bring my old glasses. I could really get stuck though I still have my near sight. I can read, eat and see any approaching predators but not drive.

Violet and I went to see Roman Holiday which was lovely, despite the unmasked faces around us. Fingers crossed for good ventilation and our masks. Another week of wondering if we were exposed, waiting for the virus to grab us. Like Jean Jacket. The summer races by, but we are making good use of it.
