We woke up to snow on this, the first day of February! I dropped off Mason and then dashed about doing my Monday errands: groceries, cleaners and Starbucks! I was tickled to see my coffee prepared with a smiley face. I was also jazzed that Grape Nuts were FINALLY restocked at the grocery store. They […]
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 […]
Today was the first day of vacation for the boys and as such I didn’t see them very early. That gave me plenty of time to jump on the exercise machine and knit another coffee cozy. My collection is growing but I have a few more to go until I get to 30. Bill went […]
Bill had today off from work and we took advantage of the time to go for an urban walk. When we initially discovered Alvord Boulevard a few weeks ago, we walked north. Today we parked near that starting point and walked south, making our way up and down the side streets which we called fingers. […]
At 5:30 am the parking lot of the Orthopedic Hospital was empty. It was so empty that I wondered if we were in the right place. However, despite the open lot, the staff was there to greet us for our Covid-19 screening before admitting Bill for his knee surgery. Bill kept this procedure on the […]
Today was the first time we have ventured out for a doctor’s appointment since Covid-19 started. A nurse greeted us in the foyer, gloved and masked, and then scanned our forehead with a no-touch thermometer. Before granting us entrance, we had to answer these questions: 1. Have you come into close contact (within 6 feet) […]
I was rewarded for my morning run with this eye-catching sunrise. It was an especially nice treat since I realized when I got out the door, dressed and ready to go, that my GPS watch needed to be charged. Mid-morning I took Walker to have his wisdom teeth extracted. We were not sure until just […]
Covid-19 is introducing me to new words and expressions. Take, for example, don, doff and PPE. There is a protocol of how to properly don and doff one’s PPE; that is to say, one must take care when one puts on and takes off one’s Protective Personal Equipment. Today Bill worked his first shift at […]
