UP TO DATE

      Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia, why did you rear your ugly face? GO BACK TO BED!  But, no, there's too much to do this morning, and Fio can sleep all afternoon--starting the cycle all over again.... 

      And exactly what sort of important things will you be doing this morning, Fiorella? Well, a visiting nurse will stop by for about an hour to be sure your girl is following doctor's orders, and, as soon as that is over, Fio will trot across the street with an offering of chocolates for Maria, a new arrival in the neighborhood whom she hopes to become friends with. It's probably because of the pandemic, but everyone in the area  seems to be buttoned down. No waving at each other when a car goes by, no walking along the sidewalk--except by Fiorella when she goes stir crazy and trots up the road to the neighborhood mailbox.

     Speaking of mailboxes, your girl, always on her toes 😕, had to walk up the street to it twice because she forgot to take the keys with her the first time.

     All in all, Fio ended up having a good day. She made a new friend, talked with Friend Suzy long distance, and got a nice message keeping her up to date with  Friend Ashley. Now, she'd like to hear from Friend Carol!
