*three thoughts *on the third day *of the work week

*Lots going on in the world outside and students were on fire today, discussing--the Hijab protests in Iran, the Venezuelans trafficked to Martha's Vineyard, the floods in Pakistan and Puerto Rico... 

*I felt buoyed today by an internet friend becoming a more IRL friend, work friends finding non work ways to connect, and my sister's glee that her birthday is "just four months away."

*When I need to laugh, I come back to this picture of "Kangaroo Huck" with her feet rudely positioned on Scout's butt, her "dress" askew, looking at me for pets.

So much going on in the world right now, I can hardly process it. So I've been reading something really light that is getting me through.
The pups are so cute, and I identify with your sister, but in terms of Christmas! It's just over three months away!

Then at night we've been watching the Ken Burns Holocaust documentary, which is pretty heavy, while my mind is on what's going on at home.

It will be fun to be FB friends, I think.

That wasn't a duplicate at all, Nicole--I love it :)! I let my sister know that Christmas will interrupt the lead up to her birthday. LOL

StephLove--yes, and I need to pace myself with Ken Burns--I wandered in and out when Big A was watching the one on Vietnam. Hope things are better at home and where you are. <3
