We Keep On Going

          This post is a sort-of follow-up to my one last week, where I mentioned the local wind and fires in and around LA. At the moment, at least, things are still okay where I live, though the wind may pick up again for another day or so.

            But the one thing I wanted to mention is how wonderful some people are! We’ve been doing fine, but, along with people we’ve kept in touch with, friends and relatives we haven’t seen or heard from in ages have contacted us by phone, text and email to see how we’re doing. The news about the fires is out there, of course, and they’ve heard and are concerned about us. 

            And I really appreciate them and their checking! They ask about how my husband and I, and our dogs, are doing and coping with the bad air. And how close the fires are, and do we remain safe?

            Fortunately, I can give them all good reports, other than occasional fire miles away but not close, and bad air at times, even requiring us to wear masks when we walk the dogs—and I wish I had masks that worked for them too.

            Anyway, all’s as okay as it can be right now. I’ve been catching up on some non-writing stuff that I needed to do but am about to get back to my writing.

            And I hope all of you, near fires or not, are doing well!
