I’m Doing OK, and I Hope You are too!

Seriously. I know I haven’t posted since COVID, which… my bad. Sorry. I’m doing okay. So far, I don‘t think I’ve got any long COVID symptoms, but it did take us both a *really* long time to recover. And.. I don’t want to get it again. So, if you want to see my smiling face any time in the near future, it is going to be outside. I’ll do things inside, but will wear a mask.

Two Lektric ebikes, both white with blue lettering and fat tires. They're on the side of a bike path with the Sandia Mountains in the distance. The sky is blue with quite a bit of clouds, but they're arrayed like a fan. Another gorgeous day.
We got ebikes! Love them. This was about a 3 minute ride from home. Not bad!

 

Why?

 

Because you can get COVID again, and again, and again. And you’re supposed to wait 3 months after an infection to get a booster. So, I’m looking at mid-October to get a booster and a flu shot.

Arthur in my arms on his back, his tongue is folded a bit and his eyes are buggy and he just looks silly. He also has a stuffed chipmunk with him that's cuddled next to me.
I am ADORABLE.

 

A lot has been going on besides that. We’re starting to figure out how we want to make our new house awesome. We’re riding our e-bikes. For someone who wants to bike and hasn’t got the stamina - or who hasn’t been on a bike in 20 years like me - they’re great! Highly recommend.

 

We got the flooring done in my sister’s house! And she was finally able to have living room furniture and they are all moved in. Yay!

Sandia Tramway - a view out the western-facing window of a ridge with one of the support structures on it. Albuquerque is in the background. Blue sky, a few clouds, gorgeous day.
We've been doing stuff! The Sandia Tramway is pretty cool!

 

We also lost a friend this summer. We don’t know what happened, really, but I want you to remember: you are loved. Okay? Please don’t forget that. You are loved, and I want you here for as long as your natural life allows.

 

There are a lot of things going on in the world, so please remember to take care of yourself. Also, please remember to be kind to each other. Oh! And fascists ban books.

Arthur on a walk with his head stuffed in a plant. The plant is in a rock garden and there's a wall in the background - those are fences here.
Remember: Don't forget to stop and shove your head in a plant sometimes. I think that's the saying...
