Shoutout to November

It’s November. A time to give thanks, go vote (or not), get out your winter gear (geography permitting) and keep COVID-19 in your rear view mirror. Check on your people. Actually, use your phone to make a phone call. Talk and listen, do they sound okay for real? Send someone a card or letter. We need the United States Postal Service, so start early and break out that holiday card list.

Eleven months on the calendar and nine months of Corona virus. Be thankful that you are symptom free. Continue to wash your hands and mask up. Check your license, registration, bike, helmet and smoke alarm. Get batteries for your flashlights, food for you and your people, gas up your car.

It’s November and I’m in a state that turns the clocks back. It feels like eleven pm and it’s only four o’clock. I could start dinner, Netflix or read a book. Ah, my pillow is calling and napping has won. I hope November brings some sun.
