Today marks the start of a new subject: Everyday Objects. When so much is terrible, when we have so little control over the pandemic or politics or the state of the world, we must ground ourselves in the small things, the Everyday Objects.
Object 1: the fish coaster. I like its cheerful yellow and its substantive wood construction. I believe there is a fish napkin ring somewhere in the house that is of similar design. It sits on my desk, reminding me to stay hydrated, and occasionally cradling my can of fizzy water.
Lesson 1 in taking care of oneself: have some water.
