You may or may not have noticed that I’m a wee bit behind on the posts. Important, unexpected extended family business needed tending to and while I meant to post a lovely photo of Woolf earlier today, I couldn’t even manage that without frustration.

I knew you’d forgive me.

But give me some time (a couple of days?) and I will be back on schedule. Yes, Lighthouse is coming soon! (But first to wrap Dalloway.)

Alas, I fear my “decaf” was not today and so although I kicked my caffeine habit beautifully last week, I am awake late but not alert enough to write cogently. (I think restaurants should have to certify that their decaf truly is.)

Let me try posting that Woolf photo again, albeit imperfectly edited.

Nope, still not working. Oh well.

Regardless of today not turning out as I had planned, there were moments of beauty.

—Brunch with my honey

—Helping a shy nephew with his homework and making over how becoming his longer hair is. We worked on social studies, science, and algebra!

—Spending time with one of my favorite doggies who insisted on incessant pettings. I think he believes he’s my brother!

—Seeing my eldest sister for the first time since Corona hit

Though I’m exhausted, it’s been a good day. I’m ending the night reading Glennon Doyle’s latest, Untamed. Very different from Woolf, to be sure, but if you’re a soulful, self-reflective person you’d enjoy it.

Good night, all. More soon.
