OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

A morning in bed, with writing and reading and Salieri. Then the working day took over and only let go of me just before six p.m., when it was time to cook dinner and wait for my love to arrive. Today was the first time this week that I did not feel entirely helpless in the face of the workload in front of me. I made a list, got through some of it, and now I am entering the weekend with a sense of optimism.

My inbox is full of unanswered emails, though. I hope to be forgiven. There isn’t enough of me and there aren’t enough hours in the day to cope entirely.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
