I thank you for your sympathy, now that i'm out from under the weight of the malaise.

The woman who comes every two weeks -- mistyped as "twice a week," oh my brain -- does cleaning for us, not my mother. And she eventually noted to Christine that she does use the COVID tracker, reassuring the both of us significantly.

And -- in my malaise i missed your news -- my sympathies for your loss of Lord Ivan. I know the ache and the sense of loss and hope it's eased a little -- although i know i still have tears from saying goodbye to some of our cats. With Light for you.
