Dear Katie:

I was planning on shopping at a store for a few gifts, but figure I better do it online, for the same reason you brought up. The infections are predicted to go up a week or so after the weekend holiday, a surge on top of the (fall/winter wave) surge.

I understand your therapist’s suggestion to ask him an open ended question (you have a smart therapist!), I thought about it myself when I posted to you last, but I was annoyed over the idea that he was working on .. forgiving you that I jumped into the idea of you finding out if that’s the (absurd) thing he was working on.

I am going to try to lie down for a short while before going on my 3.5 mile daily walk, something I don’t usually do. It is unusually bright out there and the sky is amazingly light blue, free of clouds, very unusual in the Pacific North West.
