8/1: acting normally

...is hard for me, and perhaps harder over the summer since I spend so much time on my own, mostly socializing with Chris and the cats.  Today in the grocery story I had some awkward moments, but this evening I managed to have a smooth exchange with a man who was looking for his lost dog.  I am so sorry about his dog and will help to spread the word; still, I was glad to meet such a nice person and have a conversation with him.
