Covid is showing up at WdC and scored some pretty cards.

Covid-19 Deniers won "Turd of the Year" according to Elisa: Middle Aged Stik It wasn't the only candidate. "Record Breaking Turdout"  I concur. I'm sure she would appreciate a read and a comment.

Lots of people getting covid now... showing up in the blogs here. Recently innerlight member since 2014 , now Mighty . I'm sure there are others. Hope the Whartons are doing better. Locally, numbers have eased a bit in Montana but I'm careful.

"Where I'm From"   [E] by StarrQueen

Mini-review: Well done by a newbie here. Quite poetic in feel. The short (~19 syllable) verses flow well. Lines at the end of verses 2,3,4,5 rhyme. No tortured syntax (thank-you). I think that verse #2 needs to be rethought and trimmed (it's a tad long but not annoyingly so, just sticks out). The poem strengthens from verse #3 to the end. Really like the ending. I feel it needs a second look and edit, although it's very good as is. I give it a 4.8.

Prompt: The author here describes where they are from in poetic terms. How would you describe where you are from?

I've done this before so I'll skip.

Need to send out more cards and postcards (sent one today). Found some beautiful cards, 3 handmade locally at the thrift store. Paid $.50 for all 10+ ... I'm thrilled. Also got bright red shorts for wearing around my place. I think I'll be able to use them for travel/sleeping as well and some blue sweat pants. Paid $4.00 for both.

I have piles of books here but if I need a special paperback for traveling (got lots of those but...) I can buy one for $.50.

In other snews... misplaced my glasses, searched for over an hour. Anybody seen them?

I put some non-prescription amber-tinted glasses on to go out because I feel naked without glasses (have worn since age 6). At home I take them off to read. So I'm fine. It was time to clean anyways...

I mentioned to Bill and Laxmi that I was paranoid thinking that someone stole them ... that I caught myself and thought ... who'd steal my glasses? Ridiculous, I know, but both chimed in with stories about how common my reaction is. Bill specifically mentioned that past traumas might be at the root of it. So here I sit. Reading and writing. And waiting for water to boil for another cup of mocha (I mix cocoa and coffee, add cinnamon and a bit of butter).
