Last day of a three day run at Mother's.  She is sleeping a lot and eating a little.  Kim is leaving Saturday for a visit with Jennifer and fam.  Wishing I was going with but ~ I'm not.  Both of Lisa's boys had baseball games this week but were rained out.  Next week is Spring Break so no games.  Would love to have them come stay with us but I'm sure it is too late to get on their calendars LOL.  Buck has an appointment with Dr. Saab today ~ cardiologist at Princeton.  I have an appointment with him on April 1.  That's about all I have for today....

 I got my second Covid vaccine on Tuesday so I spent Wednesday sleeping.  Today is Thursday and I feel fine ~ no temperature.  Yea!!

Heart Walk is today!  I logged over fifteen hours of activity.  My goal was ten hours.  So I can say ~ been there, done that, got the tee shirts!

Another good day.  I was able to get outside in the fresh air ~ not as much as the last time but still enjoyable.  Buck is not sleeping well.  I don't know how to help him.  He gets started scrolling though Pinterest or YouTube and the next thing he knows it's 3 a.m.  I can't stay up with him ESPECIALLY when I have to be at Mother's every other day.  

Mother went to bed in September and hasn't gotten up since.  There were days I thought it may be her last but now it seems she may outlast all of us.   

Here we are on a Thursday.  I've walked four days this week and it is only day five so I'm doing good.  My Heart Walk is next weekend.  I'll do it alone like I did the Alzheimer Walk.  

Today we worked outside and it was wonderful!  I think my brain needed the fresh air and the physical activity.

Today is Sunday ~ a new week ~ a new beginning.  What should I do this week to make it a good week?  We went to worship this morning and to lunch with Kim, Skoot, and Jakob.  I've decided to listen to David for the lesson and not for the man.  That will have to do for now.

I will be at Mother's Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week.  Buck wants to start tilling in the garden so we'll be working on that.  I NEED to walk every day in preparation of a 5k next month.

Today Buck had to be at the doctor’s office at 6:30 a.m.  His original appointment was Tuesday of this week but due to the threat of icy roads and bad weather they called to change it.  We were up at 5 a.m. ~ there ~ stopped at Gabby’s for breakfast ~ stopped at Mother’s to drop something off ~ and back to the house and “resting” by 8 a.m.  LOL This afternoon we are going to get our taxes done and pick up a few groceries ~ such is our exciting life these days.

I am thankful every day I wake up and that the Lord has given us another day. 

 Here it is February in 2021.  Last March the Covid 19 pandemic hit.  We walk around wearing masks to protect ourselves and those around us.  Buck and I have received the first round of vaccine and will get the second next month.... hope to remove the mask after that.

Mother is in bed 24/7 since September.  She has no desire to try and get up or sit up or do any sort of therapy.  Teresa and I stay with her on alternating days and she has "sitters" when we aren't there.  After a year we are both growing weary.
