HOW DID THANKSGIVING SNEAK UP ON ME!?

I am NOT ready for this.

I'm sorta blaming my mom's death* but, idk, I think it's just general malaise. Or maybe a cold. I think I might have a cold. I haven't had one in ages, because covid, but I've been stuffed up and my thoughts are all fuzzy.

* I can hear her voice now - "Sure, blame the dead woman!"

** Actually, I told her well before she died that I'd absolutely blame everything on her death once she passed, and she said it then, so I can hear her voice very accurately. It was a joking around conversation. And I'm glad we had it!

I'm on the Poetry Foundation "Poem of the Day" email list

and often they have a little note in the email explaining why that day's poem was chosen.

The note for today's poem states that today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. It occurs to me that they might have to field some ridiculous complaint emails, because transphobes gonna transphobe, so I'm now trying to word a non-complaint email.

So far I've got "Thank you for mentioning the Transgender Day of Remembrance and its significance in today's email" and I might stop there.
