Hello, my dear, dear Asha. How are you this morning? Oh, I'm okay. How are you? I think the definition

of okay has changed in this era. So it's, I don't know, maybe that, maybe that little pause and sigh. Maybe that told you more than anything else.

I was just talking to a friend, you know, I'm texting lots of emojis these days to friends.

heart because that is what seems to communicate how I feel the most right now. Like I love you and this is

sort of the state of my mood. And it's it's all those things. So that's that's sort of where it's at.

The black heart emoji.
