Today was another day of volunteering at the hospital. It was dark and cold when I arrived. All bundled up, I could be mistaken for a bank robber since all you can see of me is my eyes. Ironically, I can hardly see anything with my fogged up glasses so I would make a horrible […]
Our Sunday started off with this beautiful snowy vista of our backyard. With the weather, it was easy to stay inside and chill most of the day. Furthermore, it gave is time to prepare for the evening festivities. Yesterday on our walk, Bill and I planned the menu. We debated a number of options but […]
It was nice enough for us to get out this morning on the early side before the weather turned to rain and snow. I suggested we walk the Wellness Trail near our house for a change of pace. It’s about a mile from our house but of course, no sidewalks lead there AND we have […]
It was my first day volunteering on a Friday. I was scheduled as a greeter but they needed to move to me my usual station at checkout. That allowed me to do knit as usual between patients. It was a great day for seeing familiar faces. Besides the usual volunteers and pharmacist I see regularly, […]
The first Thursday of the month is Bill’s day off so we got to hang out together. I let myself ease into the day and got out of bed a little later. I still had a bit of a headache and some nausea but as the day wore on, they vanished. It was literally 24 […]
The more opportunities Mason has to drive in all seasons, the better. We decided that he would drive us to school on Wednesdays so his practice is intentional and routine. He can also budget for time to warm up his car and scrape off the ice. When I got home from the drop off, I […]
My job as a volunteer was to greet folks at the door, direct them to the check in volunteers and then walk them to the vaccinators. Sometimes I have to kill a little time at the door with a patient so I start small talk by asking how they are today. One man shot back, […]
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 […]
Yesterday Bill and I both wanted to walk some distance but neither of us wanted to travel a distance to walk. We decided to got out midmorning when it wasn’t too cold and dark to walk the fingers. We were partially in when I heard his phone chime. We “pulled over” so he could respond […]
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 […]
