[Magdalen] Where are we

[Jay Weigel]

Feeling a little bit that way myself. It's my usual SAD so I'm taking St.
John's wort as I usually do, but Christmas/Nativity feels pretty empty.
Maybe it's that spousal unit is still out of work so Christmas is a bit
sparse this year and since no one can go anywhere there aren't any surprise
visits from the south. I haven't been able to go to the cat jail for two
weeks in a row, once because I had a sore throat (non-Covid, thank
goodness) and the next week because it snowed and I couldn't get out of my
driveway, so that didn't help either. Prayers for all.
