Momma and calf rhino at San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Taken 9.25.2020) |
I never thought I had any heart or lung problems until I've recently realized how much lighter my heart feels, how much deeper I can breathe seeing the inauguration so close on the horizon. Me and Darren celebrated in the speakeasy last night and finished watching Lupin on Netflix. I'm looking forward to the next few days of San Diego winter, vegging around the house, and rejoicing, though there is still a day and a half to get through and let's just know that it is still scary and anything can happen.
I've been trying to find more animal stories, because why not, but also have all the usual dreary links. Stay safe out there...we're so close to vaccinations it would feel so dumb to catch this virus now.
