Oct. 25th, 2025

A somewhat unexpected day, but not bad. I woke up not feeling very good. Wrote some cards for the Sparrowhawk to take to the post before pickup time--early, on Saturdays. One sympathy card for a death, one thinking-of-you card for someone having chemo, one birthday. That seems about the ratio these days. The Sparrowhawk and I discussed going to the farmers market and reached a mutual conclusion that we very much want some good meat from the farm ladies, but we don't want it badly enough to go there and hike through the market. Agreed to order ahead of time next week, and then it will be easier to just pick it up.

Forced myself to take a shower and get dressed. Still didn't feel like doing anything afterwards. Fetched the clean laundry up from the basement. Ate some leftovers for lunch. Still didn't want to do anything. At this point, Strawberry Star and her husband Nebraska texted and asked if we'd like to come over for dinner, and we said yes. So then I thought it would be nice to bring some apple crisp, and I went forth and created some.

It has been a long time since we had friends who would ask us to dinner on the spur of the moment, and it is very, very nice to enjoy that privilege again. Nebraska is on a cardiac rehab diet after a scare with his heart. He cooked dinner--herbed chicken and a rice mixture with North African spices that was very tasty. Strawberry Star made some yummy pesto with the remnant basil from her garden. Nebraska made a fire in the fireplace, because yes it is that cold now. There was frost on the grass this morning!
