Good evening friends! Open skies, a dilute icy blue plumed with hazy white trails and firework-crowned trees, gold swallowing up the green more every day. Air smelling cleana nd sharp. Crackle and crunch quickly returning to leaf drifts as they dry out, fluttering cushions of pink and bronze and ivory.

A plodding, somewhat hazy recovery day. Relieved that I still haven’t suffered a massive backlash from judo, thanks in large part to the teachers working with me to pace my participation. Thanks to my girlfriend too who’s looking after me and took me for a flu shot this afternoon, which will likely keep me feeling a little sorry for myself for a few days.

May we find comfort and solidarity in communities of care today!
