So I sent off that note. She sent me a sweet note back.
I decided to add a detail I hadn’t mentioned: that the consul’s American counterpart had taken my picture. That my hair was not having a good day at all but I still felt like I looked good because of how good her blouse looked on me.
She told me she’d laughed, and thanked me.
Which means I just spent the whole day (even through the Jan 6 committee hearing) quite delighted that I’d made someone in Ukraine have a good chuckle at the world.
Meantime, I was working on this.

Laughter is the best medicine. And your blanket is beautiful.

May I share your story (no names) with a Ukrainian contact. It may brighten their day a bit too.
