Heat

Every year I try to make it until November to turn my heat on.  This year I wasn't even close.  I turned it on weeks ago although I set the schedule to a high of 62 when I'm in the house and 55 for when I'm gone and to sleep by.  I've bumped up the 62 to 65 a couple times and today I set it to the winter schedule: 5am wake-68,  8am leave-62, back to 68 around 4pm and 62 at 11pm for sleeping.

I'd like to blame this early arrival of continuous heated air on the fact that my granddaughter is in the house, but it's really because I am cold.  I've been freezing when I go to bed, that I thought about flannel sheets.  And flannel sheets usually don't come out until December!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
