I am well, overall. A bit melancholic, but okay. I'm healthy, I'm taking care of myself. My country is on (expletive) fire over here and that's certainly affecting me. But I personally am safe, and regarding pandemic my family and friends are also safe.
A bit warm to cook, but I'll get back into that. I've made mozzarella, ricotta, and mascarpone recently. I think cheeses might be my new hobby. I did make a few strawberry crostatas recently with berries I picked, and that was a summer treat I've been enjoying.
I'm still employed and grateful. I'm nervous for the future.
I've discovered that I love walking in the woods and I'm getting into hiking. I've taken many easy/moderate hikes but I'm getting noticeably stronger in my lungs and legs, so I'm aiming for harder. I have to avoid the hot days, but other than that I'm out hiking quite a bit. Gorgeous vistas of lakes and mountains.
But still, a deep sadness has come to me and is sitting quietly in my chest.
I'm working through it. I hope to be back and post more soon. Your hello made me very happy, thank you. Thinking of you too, as always.
