"A shapeless mass of weeks were piled behind her." - I feel like this has been my entire year so far, and I'm not sure how to get out of it. A few of my animals are elderly now, and my job has become caretaker, and I forgot how difficult and stressful it can be. It has been one long blur of worry and vet bills and the occasional day of relief when everyone is doing okay and eating. I've lost my sense of self or any sense of purpose. Maybe this is my purpose? Sense of purpose has always been a big one for me. I think I need therapy, Allison. ha ha (but I do)
I curse Andy Cohen for bringing those Housewives shows into existence. All of those shallow, tacky "reality" shows, along with Fox News, are a huge part of why this country is so dumbed down it can barely function anymore. Anytime I've been forced to watch something like that (doctor's office, etc) I feel like I need a soul bleaching. I am sorry you experienced that ick, but I understand exactly what you mean. If you haven't watched "After Life" on Netflix yet (Ricky Gervais show), it is surprisingly sweet, heartbreaking (I got teary and/or sobbed in almost every episode), and uplifting. It's also very funny. xx
Thanks again for your amazing loyalty with the “Sunday List”, “Come hell or high-water” seems very appropriate in this case. I hope you’ve made it home by now! Px❤️
So sorry you had yet another bad experience with NYC airports. That was quite a rainstorm, but I was lucky not to have to take the subway or deal with any floods. Hope you make it home safely in one piece. The weather is gorgeous today for a change. All the rain we’ve been having makes one appreciate the sunshine even more. October seems to be turning a new leaf🍁

you probably already know this, but there was a long article/interview with jenna lyons in the sept. 11-24 issue of new york magazine. i’m not sure it would really illuminate much about her decision to be a ‘housewife’ or if you want to waste another instant on any of it, but since you’re interested in her (or were 😂) i wondered what you would think. regardless thank you for your always thoughtful and interesting posts. (ps i have never seen a ‘housewives’ episode and after hearing your opinion i’m quite sure i never will!) ❤️
Allison: Like many, if not most of us, you ,due to your predicament with air travel were unwittingly sucked into the narcotic abyss of mlndlessness designed to stupify the masses. Marshall McLuhan(sp) addressed the pitfalls of such a wasteland of the innane over 50 years ago but I just use his name to make myself sound scholarly. While the tyranny of evil men (I borrowed that from "Pulp Fiction) is not so slowly imposing its plan to control us as a nation/world, a gigantic portion of our fellow man is too busy drinking this dreck flavored kool aid to be aware of the events occuring in the world around us that is designed to take what's left of our one time wsy of life. I could go on and on but let me say this: it could've been worse, the television could've been stuck on The Game Show Network.
"A shapeless mass of weeks were piled behind her." Goodness this resonated with me. I lost my Mother early August due to medical neglect and the weeks leading up to that event were shapeless. My heart is still broken and my mind wonders......what is it all for, not one of us is going to live forever. So what difference does it make if I'm not in tip top shape, is this occupation that I'm in really worth the stress I feel to complete my open action items? I feel like my zest for life has been stolen from me. Is this part of grieving? I don't know, but as of late, all I can do is one day at a time. Sorry for the doom and gloom post, the words just sort of spilled out of me. Let's all make it a good day today, be kind to yourself one another.
Happy Sunday Allison-they are always interesting ❤️

I like the reflection picture you took
I feel badly for the folks in NYC that lost so much in the flooding
