As I’m sifting through the news of the weekend I find some points of light. I say all this to remind us all that your resistance to foolishness and fascism matters. Stay loud. Be safe. Refuse to be ruled.

A few of the hundreds of geese flying overhead during our walk this morning. They’ve been settling for the night in the rapidly-shrinking area of the lake that’s still ice-free, then heading to the fields in the morning to glean the last of the grain.

I must say, you meet the nicest people in the flu/COVID vaccination lineup. Had great chats about weather, agriculture and real estate, and got a line on a great little vintage/consignment shop.

My original list of things to do this month:
- decluttering closets
-Christmas baking
-Routine mammogram
My new list:
-Biopsy
-Getting results I was dreading (thanks, AHS health records app)
-Figuring how/when to tell my boss, who is facing her own biopsy for the same reason.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I do love a gloomy November day, especially if I can have stroopwafels with my morning coffee and homemade soup for supper.
