If you don’t have one, get on it!!!
Today I just want to tell you that if you don’t have a friend like my friend Brigid, do everything in your power IMMEDIATELY to remedy the situation. I have known Brigid for twenty or thirty years. Or maybe more. I don’t know her well — as in I don’t think I have ever met her son, Tom, or any other members of her family. We’ve never travelled together, nor have we gone partying or double-dating. Nevertheless, I consider her a good friend. If you are lucky, there is a Brigid in your life.
Yesterday I received a present from Brigid. I thought, at first, it was some sort of whacky greeting card. The envelope was sort of fat, but fit into my P.O. box handily. What it turned out to be is the best medicine a lady with an attack of degenerative disc disease could ask for. Or so I am willing to believe.
Being pain free right now, I haven’t yet applied one of these magical patches, but it is nice to know that there is an alternative treatment waiting in the wings — five “pages” of neat-and-tidy patches. Best case scenario, of course, is that they won’t be needed anytime soon. The expiration date on the package says May 6, 2022, so Brigid has me covered, so to speak, for some time to come. Thirty times over! WOOT! WOOT!
This is the first post I’ve received via the home page (newsfeed) in months. Nice gesture from your friend. Stay well. We taped the “Just Read It” episode in which you were to appear. Missed having you with us. We like the format and have decided to go with Zoom with or without the pandemic. I hope you can solve your transmission problems so you can be a guest.
Hi Caroline!
I guess I’m as much on the “outs” with responses to my own blog as you are in seeing it at all. (Isn’t that a doozy of a sentence? Hope you can interpret it.) In any case, I just saw this and wanted you to know that I was glad to get your report on the taping of “Just Read It.” It sounds as though you are definitely on the cutting edge!
I don’t know if our “transmission problems” will ever be solved. It has everything to do with internet coverage (or lack thereof) in a rural area. I hear now and then about a push for broadband in rural America, but sometimes I wonder if anyone knows that our little Peninsula is even on this continent. And, if I think about that very much, I’m usually just as happy being ignored. So… we will see. The first order of business, though, is to outlast this pesky pandemic. So far so good. Although, an even greater priority is the upcoming election. And dare we hope that RBG’s seat will stay vacant for a few months more?
Cheers!
