Went to an author talk/reading tonight. Was nice, ran into a woman that I see often at aqua fitness and also at the senior center. She came and sat with me, that was nice. She was rewarded by winning an advanced copy of his next book, for sitting the closest to him! 😂 sort of sad that most of the folks there were seniors. Most of us could have been wearing red or purple hats! But it was nice to get out and it was also a pretty good weather day. The author talked a lot on how writing is a collaboration and mentioned other Minnesota writers. Got more names for my book lists. Thankfully we are blessed with a great bookstore that has a huge selection of Minnesota writers.
Me? I’m hanging in there. Still have waves of anxiety and grief that unexpectedly wash over me. I try to keep busy, but it’s hard having conversations. Was looking for a picture on my phone and came across the last picture I took of mum. The house is looking particularly empty with all of mum’s Nick nacks moved priced and ready for the garage sale.
In good news Sir ate well tonight. He’s gotten so skinny. And he always comes to greet me when I’ve been out. I do worry tho that a move is going to be too much for him.
