Is it possible that I am on some sort of “Groundhog’s Day” type of time loop? Again, I thought I was ‘over’ this stomach bug… only to be proven very…. very wrong. Today marks 3 weeks of it. Today though, I was able to eat some yogurt, and just finished a plate of baked tater tots… so we’ll see. Sleep has been ‘wonky’… but I seem to be getting some good rest in the mid afternoons// so I’ll take it. Otherwise, it’s been sort of status quo. I’ve made a couple small items and gotten them mailed off. I made some food…. I’ve lit candles for friends going thru yucky things. I’ve nurtured the plants… and talked with a few folks… and just… been.

Last night I walked a little bit of the apartment complex, taking photos of the blue beam lit at the Pentagon (in the distance) as a memorial to those lost on 9/11. I am deeply saddened by the loss… but also… and not any less importantly, the loss of nearly as many… and almost daily…. from CoVid. And yet, the over 660,000 deaths nationally from CoVid has not had the same impact on people…. even though the threat has been (and continues to be) just as serious.

>>sigh<<. We can only do what we can do.

There is such tragedy in the world right now. But there is beauty too. I am trying to find it… and hope you are able to as well. Below are my 365 photos from this past week…. and my daily studio shots from this week.
