10/7: two things

Chris and I saved a bird.  It was stunned and having a very hard time on the road (unable to right itself and wriggling on its back).  We brought it home in a box then put it in a safe place so that it could (hopefully) recover without the danger of being run over.  Later in the day it seemed to have flown off.

I booked a flight and hotel for a trip in December (my first since January 2020!), and then my mother called and we made more plans for the trip.
