1. We did NOT get COVID from the friend who did get it and spent time with us before she knew. Go masks and booster vax!

1. I took a chance on a package of soft rolls for lunch sandwiches and it was perfect. They were soft as a cloud and squishy so it didn’t feel like I was getting 70% starch to the rest of the sandwich.

1. At first I was positively astonished that Biden bowed out and was a touch skeptical that this country will elect the first female and Black president. That was in the first hour of the announcement. I was imagining total chaos in the wake of his stepping down. I wanted to hold out hope because a baked potato would be better than Trump, never mind a relatively reasonable human with relevant experience.
Now I’m relieved at how the whole thing was managed to give her support immediately. I won’t pretend that I personally like Harris. I don’t know enough about her to say yet and I’m not a fan of the cult of personality type politics. However she does have a body of experience that’s highly relevant and she came out of the gate strong and that gives me hope. I do like the possibility that she might be a leader we can accomplish good things with even if we have to push her to them. We all know that’s absolutely nothing like what we’d get out of a second TFG presidency.

1. I treated myself to a $5 body wash in hopes it would smell super fruity (pink lemon and mandarin orange) and it’s totally what I hoped for but also it’s basically grapefruit.

1. Half the potato plants are turning yellow and brown. Sooooon, we harvest! 🤞🤞🤞
2. So far I’ve spotted two blueberries on the bush. Maybe we’ll have as many as three this season? Once again I’m so grateful this is a hobby and not a need.
