“Being game” is defined as “eager or willing to do something new, unusual or challenging”. Which makes people who are game a lot more fun to be around. They're exciting.
I will linger. Making myself stay until I really see. Because I know that if I really see, I will have that to carry with me. Life changes on a dime.
I'm on vacation. It's September. I came now because I knew that the world had returned to its post summer routines. But I have not returned to these things. I'm on vacation. Extending the summer. It's too short.
I have lost touch with being female. Her. She. I'm not sure how you hold onto that over a lifetime. When I was a child, there were tools. Dolls. Pink chalk. Crinolines.
We are all getting back into dinner parties. Of some sort. Often inside. Without puffy coats. WE ARE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME. Often there are six to eight invitees. Six to eight. or more.

My friend got a vaccine. “DON'T TELL ANYBODY”, SHE SAID. No one wants to hear that you've gotten your vaccine. It's cutthroat out there. We're all competing against each other.

I think I have writer’s block. I can’t think of anything to say. I mean obviously there’s a lot to say. The world is being stalked by a killer virus and I’m on the scary, vulnerable, “you’re next” list. We have a nincompoop for a president. The West Coast keeps burning. There are zero jobs.
