How are you doing? I hope everything’s going alright. There was a big thunderstorm here a few days ago – coming down from Canada – and it was very loud with thunder and rain. I think we’ve needed a rain, but now it is getting steadily colder, and it seems our short summer is starting to end. Did it go south to you back home? Do you feel the change too?
I’m writing this on Thursday since I’m going to a sleepover tomorrow. Technically I’m having a different one now, but it’s bedtime. We did lots of chalk art with another friend for a few hours and went around town. We’re also playing Minecraft together. Perhaps I’ve mentioned this before, but one of my strongest wishes as an eleven-year-old, after I lost all my friends, was to have someone to play Minecraft with. It feels good.
I have also started writing again. It’s a tentative start since I finished my last story in Novemberish, but it’s still a start. It feels wrong to not be writing at all. Mom is making another mouse-shaped lantern. She also wants to make a cat-shaped one. When it comes to art, she always comes back to rodents. I quite like it.
I hope you’re alright. As always. The broken record repeats its love. There’s little else to say most of the time.
With love,
Alice
