How are you? October is almost here. I personally cannot wait. It’s still getting colder, thank heavens. The grass is getting greener, ironically, with the rain! Are you alright over there? I hope everything’s going smoothly.
Pearl got some medication (Prozac) and we’ll see if that makes her less distressed. Yesterday she was acting wildly during school, but she’s calmer today. Perhaps the medication is working? Speaking of cats, Mom told me recently that Mme. Katherine’s cat Chinny was transgender. In what direction, unknown. Alas, we cannot ask her since her passing. I wonder how she could tell?
I have also learned that I don’t have to write an entire novel for my capstone, just an outline and the first chapter. Thank God, I was freaking out!! I have so much time to agonize over name choices and research now. How is school going? I presume you’re settled in by now. Are you still online, or in public school? I’ve seen people on both sides of the coin, so who’s to say?
Something I’ve been pondering: have you gotten The Vaccine? I know Mom (Mel) doesn’t like them, but she seems very concerned with appearances and social acceptability, so perhaps. I don’t want to talk about this at length, though — such a matter of passionate controversy, recently.
Regardless, I hope you’re well. I miss you. I always have Wilde’s Requiescat on my mind. “Coffin-board, heavy stone, lie upon her breast, I vex my heart alone; She is at rest.”
With love,
Alice
