I just got back from visiting my ex. She is in isolation again with an infection. It seems she gets them rather frequently and is susceptible to them. But otherwise she seems to be doing ok.
The move was very exhausting, especially since I did it all by myself (I was too stubborn to ask for help; it’s a family trait). I think my knee is still angry with me for going down and up two sets of stairs so many times. Every now and then I get a twinge as if it’s trying to tell me, “Don’t you DARE do that to me again!!”
The new apartment is much smaller and I had to give some things up because of a lack of space. It has its pluses and minuses. At least I get cooler air on me now as I have my computer desk in the dining room. And I get the morning sun as well – good in winter, but hot in summer.
Mom was here recently for a visit and she said she liked my new place. Her trip was exhausting and I was concerned one day that she might have gotten a little too much sun. But she slept it off and seemed to be ok after awhile. She got to visit Mary and we were able to spend some time at the lake together watching the boats launch and be retrieved. We both like the water so it was enjoyable going there to sit and look around.
I’m probably going to plan another visit up to see mom and sis later this month. I try to schedule 2 or 3 visits each year if weather permits. And I’d like to get up there if I can to attend the memorial of my grandmother as well as my uncle who just passed away back in May. I’ll just have to see what my schedule permits.
I hope this 4th of July finds you and your family healthy and happy. Enjoy the holiday weekend, but please stay safe. It means a lot to me that you take time out from your busy schedule to peek in on the library from time to time. I’d like you all to be around for a long time to come, not just for my sake but for the sake of your family and friends.
Thanks for stopping by…
