How are you doing today? It's Sunday night and I've got a case of the Pandemic Blues. I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing weekend with plenty of family time but, reality has hit me that this virus is not going anywhere anytime soon. Cases in North Carolina continue on an upward trend. People are struggling. I long for the days I can spend quality time with people I love and give them a long bear hug. I'm supposed to be in Vermont right now. Deanna and I had plane tickets to spend this week exploring Vermont and Maine. Thankfully, we have until December 31, 2021 to reschedule our flights without losing any money. If any of my Vermont friends are reading this....I hope to see you as soon as things are safe.
Blossom is living her best life even though her back legs are so confused. She is so loved and so spoiled.
I love my mom.
Every night we walk up and down her driveway 3 times. The cat that is not their cat always joins us on the 3rd lap and, for some reason, it is fascinated with her cane. This is not ideal...
I ordered a little "bicycle" for mom to use while she is watching tv. She loves it! My fear is that she will forget to move it and trip over it. Then she will fall on her head and die (or worse) and that will be all my fault. I left that part in because I don't want to sugarcoat everything that goes on in my head. Such is real life when you are taking care of your parents. And you have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. And you are human. And...this is 2020. Let's back up: She loves it and is doing great using it. This came after Dad talked her into getting on his elliptical machine this week and it was just too much for her.
I got a lot of hair cut off this week. This was the back:
And now:
My stylist took this photo to show her husband (my boss).
It is fun but, it isn't me. I need at least 3-4 more inches to grow back.
I'm on week 18 of my gray - grow out. It's funny how your hair looks totally different in different light. Here is one that shows how my hair normally looks. It is a dorky picture of me but, it is accurate. You know those bumper stickers that say "I used to be cool". I never was. I'd have to have one that said, "I never was cool".
Ok, that is far too many photos of me.
My favorite Instagram post of a tweet this week:
One more for the road. I feel this cartoon so much today.
Happy Birthday Liz!!!
You might change your mind about the length once your hair is completely gray. Just saying. I didn't know you had a trip to Vermont/Maine planned. It's too bad you can't do it now. I'm glad they gave you such a long extension. Blossom looks great; it's hard to believe she's sick. Much as I hate advocating cruelty to animals, that cat may need to be whacked once or twice with the cane before she causes an accident. Love the tweet and the cartoon, although that semi-colon in the cartoon is "freakin" distracting. Can't argue with the sentiment though.
