Today I am grateful for:

More beautiful weather for this time of year. Above freezing.

Meeting up with a woman and buying a fantastic "Anatomy for the Artist" book. We ended up talking for a while. We have art as a common interest, and horses. We met at the local gas station, in the parking lot.

On a sad/frustrating note, the woman working at the local gas station, someone that I see often and that I definitely see as part of the community, doesn't wear a mask at all. This really hurts. A few weeks ago she was working, and wasn't wearing a mask, and for some reason I thought it was an anomaly. Today she wasn't wearing one, and wasn't asking anyone else to wear one either. The guy who owns the gas station wears a mask, so I'm not sure why his employee won't wear one. He's at quite a risk if the business is reported. Lots of people are in and out of that building (you have to go inside to pay for the fuel, still) all day long. Most of the patrons wore masks, that I could see. Once again, this just demonstrates a complete lack of consideration for the people of our community. If this woman became infected, she would transmit that virus to the community that supports that business. We all touch that debit card machine that she likely isn't sanitizing in between patrons.

A quiet evening at home. I talked briefly with one of my sisters. I sort of tried to make some sense out of the mess our house is in, and failed to make much of a dent in the disorder. I did some laundry.

I watched a movie called "London River" that was well done.
