Then I made it to bookclub. I hadn't read the book beyond the online sample, (Chloe Dalton's Leveret), but I wanted to see everybody. L had made everyone copies of my poems to read for the next meeting. L has just been promoting my work to people! I've tried asking her not to, but she is genuinely happy and proud of me, and that reminds me a bit of my mom, so I'm shutting up.
Then Big A and I went to get drinks, apps and see Is God Is--compelling with some cute vibes, but more violence than I needed.

How wonderful to have your friend celebrate you this way! I'm glad you finally allowed her this joy. We often forget how Doing Nice Things makes the Doer feel so good, and we cannot take away their fulfillment and happiness, despite our own modesty.
I also am glad that you let your friend do this for you. I’m feeling lonely because I don’t have local friends anymore. Maybe I should try to find a book club.
How nice of your friend.
At first I was jealous of you having Nu home for the summer and then I remembered we each have one kid home and one away.
