Day 79

Random number 148

Reach out to someone

I messaged Kristi B in Ann Arbor, a sorority sister, who I worry about.

I reached out to AnnaMarie P, a gaming friend in PNW who I’ve never met, who’s had major health issues. I realized she hadn’t posted on FB since December. After she responded, I realized she has been on Blue Sky, so turns out she is doing ok after all.

I reached to Jen L from Tax Twitter, who’s displaced due to the fires in LA. She’s doing better than some but I still wanted her to know I was thinking of her.

I reached out to Monica about doing a labyrinth. I will go anyway even if I do not hear from her.

I reached out to Deb T whose eye isn’t healing as fast as hoped. I’ll see her Saturday and give her a little potion of healing.

Maybe I’ll paint these little wooden potion tokens tonight, and mail one to AnnaMaria too. She’d sent me some earring hooks last month, and as a gamer, she’ll appreciate the gesture.

Day 80
