Today was a better day.


I made plaster things with Zeke and I made a chocolate pound cake with Zoe. I bought groceries to last us for the rest of spring at Target, which was reassuringly deserted. I made baked potatoes with turkey chili for dinner. I have a call with a new client scheduled for tomorrow! Zoe spent a lot of time talking and laughing on zoom with various friends, which made me happy. Zeke was super excited to use his new Sharpies.
Notably, I spent little to no time reading upsetting things online. All the bad news will still be there for me later. Zoe and I ended the day by watching an episode of Queer Eye. It is impossible not to feel hopeful about humanity when you see the Fab Five work their magical positivity. I definitely needed a dose of that.

Betsy, I am grateful that you are able to write this column. Your ability to share joy, worry, sadness, curiosity, self-doubt, and the whole human gamut of feelings is amazing, and written so well and succinctly. Thanks for including me on your list. Sometimes it’s even a bellwether for my feelings.
