My friend John and I are keeping in contact during this crisis. We text (his preference) and talk on the phone (mine). He sent me a message that, at first, seemed random, but once I took a moment to think, it was meaningful.
"Glad I have those That Girl and Brideshead Revisited DVDs."
Over the decades and decades of our friendship, I gave him those DVDs. How sweet of him to remember, and to mention it.
About me: My throat is still scratchy, third day in a row. But I have no more than the occasional cough and my temperature is 98.6ยบ. So I think I'm just stressing about this (like everyone else!).
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I really hope it's just a sore throat!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're sick with sore throat in these worrisome times. Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have friends like John reach out.
