Today was an incredibly full day! I volunteered again at the hospital this morning. Seeing how happy people are to get their vaccines continues to warm my heart. It was nice to see a friend across the room who was also volunteering. Today I chatted with a gentleman who was 99 years old. He ambulated […]
When I woke up, I knew I needed it to be a Monday. Mondays are my day to reset, clean and start my week. With the holiday and then my volunteer day, my Monday got pushed to today. However, I was starting my Monday really tired. I had to find the balance between easing into […]
I had another successful volunteer shift at the vaccine clinic today. I worked with a lovely volunteer whose husband is also a physician. At one point, she pulled out a needlepoint project and began stitching bicycles on a belt. The heavens opened up and I heard singing. I found my people. I reached for my […]
Both boys were out of school today in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. They enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in and laze the day away and I did my best to let them unencumbered by chores “because they were home.” (I make no friends that way.) In the meantime, I worked on the never […]
Catching up on the last few days, I’m happy to report I have felt great after my first dose of the vaccine. My arm was a little tender where I got the injection and sore when I lifted my arm, but otherwise I had no side effects. The other health update is for Walker. Tuesday […]
This morning I had the opportunity to join the ranks of those who are working in the fight against Covid-19. I volunteered at St. Vincent in the vaccine clinic as a non-medical observer. The vaccine process is as such: folks check in at the registration table, proceed to the vaccine station, move along to the […]
Good morning from Grogu! Baby Yoda is doing well and thriving at Bill’s office. I hit the ground running today. Most Mondays are red beans and rice days where I’m home all day working on laundry, housekeeping and chores but today I had a 7:30 am appointment. Since I was out already, I piggybacked some […]
Today when Bill got up, he told me he was feeling much better. That makes me wonder how badly he felt yesterday because he didn’t complain much at all. He has the ability to put aside any physical needs or discomfort and press on due to the training he had in both medical school and […]
One of the first things Bill did this morning was take his temperature. It was elevated since he usually runs in the 96s. After the second dose of the Covid vaccine, he was curious to monitor it. Three hours later, it was coming down and he was more satisfied. Because we didn’t know what to […]
It’s Friday and Bill’s day off however he had several appointments pretty close together. The first was at 7:30 am followed by his long overdue visit to the ophthalmologist. Then we met to pick out his new glasses. I had not anticipated how more challenging it would be during Covid when a fair portion of […]
