Today was another happy volunteer day for me! Each time I walk away with some good vibes. I spoke with Brandon, a checker from our grocery story. I asked him if he recognized me from the store but got a blank face. I tried to jog his memory by telling him that he always gives […]
Today was an amazing day at the clinic for several reasons. First, the state opened up the vaccine to the next age group meaning that those 60 and older are now eligible. Our head pharmacist, Kelly, knew the announcement was coming and prepared us that things might get really busy. The flow of patients came […]
I was back at the hospital again today because there was an open shift that needed to be filled. I had plans to bring cheer and smiles. I stopped at Starbucks for a birthday drink for Kelly, the head of the Covid vaccine clinic and I showed up with a wee gift in hand. Kelly […]
After all the snow and ice, I was finally back at the hospital and I was glad! I was thankful to get a parking place in the hospital parking structure since it was still pretty slushy outside. Once indoors, I again had a great time checking people out and making their follow up appointments. I […]

To catch up on the last few days, let’s begin with a growth check of Grogu. He’s getting nice and bushy. Wednesday brought an unexpected virtual day of learning. There was impeding snow forecasted for the dismissal hour so many schools were called off. Mason got to do asynchronous learning, his favorite kind, because he […]
