Darkness at midday

We work overtime to keep our spirits buoyed on a very dreary day. Not sure how many more hunting and gathering trips I need to make to be sure I have enough ingredients for tomorrow's bird whacking. A trip to the weight gym yields an unpleasant surprise; all the people who have worked there, some almost as long as we've been going, like twenty some years, are gone or leaving this week. New young bucks have purchased the place, and we shall see how it changes. None of them was told until the deed was done, and were they ever knocked back. Lousy way to treat people one is supposedly "family friendly" with.
Off for sushi to brighten up the evening.
