Barely Blooming

Thank you Lord for today’s bad weather. A combo of ailments (booster, barometric pressure, being on my legs for too long) has made me useless today. Plus, I was awake until 3:00 am, guess the shot made me sleepless. I have felt like I was in a fog all day. Hubby went to get our meds and to the grocery store. He also got credit for being double-billed on groceries not long ago. He picked up a Panera orange scone as a get well gesture and helped with laundry. I cleaned the kitchen, fed the birds, ordered meds, put away groceries and made chicken salad. That’s about it. We made reservations at a resort in Williamsburg, Va for a week of R&R and to watch Parker and his cousin play in lacrosse tournaments in June. My son (who invited us and located this great place with reasonable prices), his wife, Parker, my nephew, his son and his fiancé will be there also. My sister cannot go because it isn’t pet friendly :(. Maybe our mother will want to get away, our place sleeps four. It’s been years since we visited that area. My birthday happens to be during the same time. Our amaryllis is starting to bloom. I had to help the first one open a bit so I had a blip today. I think there are five buds - can’t wait. Kristen still has COVID issues. She gets intense migraines and her vision becomes impaired. Her MRI showed two small spots on her brain but the doctors believe they will go away in time; they just don’t have enough data. She also has an impacted kidney stone and is with a specialist to determine next steps. Poor kid, always something in a large family. Hopefully both of these issues are temporary. Sounds like the UN took steps to pressure Putin to change his ways. Not feeling optimistic. Thanks for dropping by and leaving uplifting comments. Stay safe. “Maybe you're not perfect, but you certainly are not unworthy. You are beautiful. A flower with a petal still unfurled does not lack in fragrance.” - Mona Soorma
