Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yep. Still here. Our grandson is miserable and probably has rotavirus, which toddlers get and hopefully he will feel better by Friday, but we realize taking him up to the cabin is unwise. His covid test was negative, thank goodness, but he still has fever, cough, diarrhea and can't sleep well at all. The cabin is super dry and hotter, and if he can't get comfortable here then there is no point. So now we're aiming for next week, if he gets way better, and in the meantime, strolling him around the neighborhood and just laying low. It's another lesson in "everything changes" and "man plans and god laughs". Right now we couldn't go up without them because we'd have to be isolated from our friends until we're sure we don't have whatever virus our grandson has, especially because my friend's daughter is due in August and it would be horrible if she caught something from us. I'm kind of comfortable in isolation mode by now anyway. I can at least go to the bookstore with a mask on or some local walking and activities. I'm reading the memoir of one of the Central Park Five, Yusef Assam, and it's inspiring and wise. He earned his wisdom the hard way. And I have other books by my bedside. Sing a chorus of "Summer in the City".
