Tues 9/6

Apparently “end of summer blues” is a very real thing. Two things that might be bullshit or may not - talk to yourself like you’d talk to someone you care about who’s grappling with the seasonal malady - i.e. gently.

It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.

Big howling ensued from inside the house. It became intergenerational family lore and I recalled it today when I opened the card from my dear companion.
