I drove out to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir today. It's a lovely 2 mile walk. Driving Violet to school has the advantage of getting me out of the ruts. I hope she will be able to walk sometimes, but with Shakespeare rehearsals, she's really tired.

Happily, the broken down box of stuff came back from Ireland yesterday. Nothing was missing, but there was no indication of why the rejected it. There is a sticker with a checkbox that says "Refused". No idea why. I'm not trying that again. She also got the credit card, so that's two lead weights I can throw off my back. If we can make some progress on the condo this week, I should be feeling good.

It's sunny and warm for October. Glorious. No decision on the weekend yet. At this point, I'm not sure if DH can get the day off. He's been feeling sick too. Am I going to make it out unscathed?

This morning I walked out to the Muddy. Yesterday I went to the reservoir. I like walking there but the traffic is terrible in the early AM. I'm listening to Bridgewater, which is very entertaining and has me planning trips to state forests. There is so much we don't know, so much we've forgotten or erased, and that's what haunts us. Echos. This morning I saw vapor rising from the tree trunk in the sunlight. Magic.

The holidays and vacation have thrown my time out of joint. I do believe it's Friday. Yesterday I put the school calendar info in my calendar. Laid out the whole year through June in a very satisfactory way. It's comforting to make plans. We lost all of that in the plague.

Also lost is Oberon. Harvard is giving up the lease. So many magical nights in that space. I wonder if I can remember them all? Two Donkey Shows, two David Bowie dance parties, Cabaret, First time I saw Amanda and Evelyn Evelyn, We're All Gonna Die, Beowulf, HMS Pinafore, Org: Last Day on Earth, Army of Toys, Jaggery, Kansas City Choir Boy (w/ Courtney Love where I saw Sarah Bareilles), Miss You Like Hell, Lunar Labyrinth, Nightmare Before Christmas Burlesque, Who Would Be King. I looked them up. Maybe I can post something about it and get others to pitch in. The performances I saw there changed my life.

Sign. We watched Eurovision which was better than I ever expected with a great performance by Dan Stevens. Today the condo insurance dude comes so that's progress. May be going to see the Toys at the Arboretum tomorrow. Lovely weather continues and I shall enjoy it!

I walked at Kendrick Pond today. Lots of puddles and mud under a gray sky. I listened to Levar today, as I'm struggling and the Sandman is so heavy.

Last night I drove Violet in to see her cousin. It was raining so the driving was tricky, but I got a few things done and spent time at home. I watched an emotional Finding Your Roots with Audra and Mandy and it got me upset. Hard to sleep in the heat and the noise.

Ordering and planning for Honey's trip is making it very real. Can't wait to see her, can't wait for her adventure to begin. This fucking plague though.
