The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

A Journal of the Plague Year
Last week my husband became sick with a fever of 100.7 F so he signed up for a COVID-19 test. The only opening he could get was Tuesday morning of this week. Yesterday we got the results back- negative. This morning I realized how much of a relief that was for me because when I woke up I did not feel as if a great weight was on me. This afternoon I realize just how much pressure I had been under since he first got sick because I am now exhausted in the same way I would be exhausted at the end of finals week in college.

Caught In A Trap
Because I love myself too much, Baby
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

The Leaves Of Autumn
Beautiful autumn Saturday in Sunshine Park.

No To White Supremacists
We have a neighbor who has been in my house. Who is a dog person. Whose wife died a year ago and who we emotionally supported for the last year. He is now flying a Don't Tread On Me flag and the Betsy Ross flag. Either he is a white supremacist or he hasn't a clue to what it means. Either way, I'm shunning him.

The Best Laid Plans Of Mice And Women
At the beginning of this COVID mess I had big plans. Get up early, sew, color a page out of one of my coloring books each morning, study Spanish, bake my own bread, make my own yogurt, and work in my garden. Now I am at the point where I am still in my PJs at 10:00 in the morning and wondering if there is really any reason to get dressed.
