colorless or colorful?
today was a blah day. not bad. just blah. i got a COVID booster shot yesterday because i have an autoimmune condition (sjogren’s syndrome). and i woke up today feeling puny. with a mild temp and swollen lymph nodes. nothing serious. just puny. so i pretty much spent the day cuddled with the dog reading. in other words, i sort of felt like these oak leaves. drained of color. but, then my husband walked into the bedroom and said “you know what day it is, right?”. i looked at my phone, october 8? friday? is it suppose to mean something? he paused with a shit eating grin on his face, until i exclaimed “OMG, IT’S FRIDAY! TED LASSO DAY!!” and just like that my blah day got all sparkly and full of expectant hopefulness. yes, i, like so many others, am a huge ted lasso fan. and today, the last episode of season 2 dropped. we have a bedtime routine for watching ted lasso, so i still have a few hours to wait. giddy with anticipation. not blah at all.

Yes, booster yesterday- worse reaction yes. I am the color of these leaves.- and for me “call The Midwife” tomorrow will perk me up – I hope
Booster day before yesterday, fatigued yest and today. But today a friend is coming to help in the yard. I suspect a lot of leaves, about those colors, will be involved! And it perked me up! We just need to find the right lever to lift us up.
