Sunny Sunday

We had such a perfect day yesterday!  Those happen so infrequently in Oklahoma, and to have it happen on a day off was miraculous!

It was sunny, in the 60s, with no wind.  Absolutely beautiful!

I did my bi-weekly disinfecting of the floors, and got all of my other chores done, but we didn't get the mowing done.

That will happen today, before the rain comes in late this afternoon.  It's sunny now, but it's not going to stay that way, and it's cooler than yesterday, too.

Then, we took a bike ride.  We've been trying to get out and ride whenever we can, in addition to taking our walks whenever we can.

Today, we will go to the cemetery to Dave's Mom's grave.

Dave called his Dad yesterday.  It was not as good of a day as the last time.  He wasn't really able to speak coherently.

Even though the state is re-opening businesses, nursing homes and memory care centers are still not open to visitors, so we can't go see him.

I have only been out of our neighborhood to go to my office, and I really need to get away today.

My blood work came back showing a marked improvement since we reduced the chemo dosage by one third.

I was pleased to see that the lab staff is finally being given PPE !! Why it took their corporate office 2 months to give them masks is beyond me.

They're talking about an impending meat shortage, but we have frozen ground beef, and chicken breasts, to last us for a little while.

If that runs out, and the shortage takes place, we have some cans of beans on the shelf.

As a chemo patient, I am supposed to focus on getting adequate protein every day, so I am a bit concerned about that particular supply chain breaking down.

Oh well, can't do anything about it.  It will be what it will be, just like everything else.

My boss let me implement another of my usual tasks that I was told not to do at first while working from home.

I got February and March caught up on one part of it, and started February on three other parts.  I felt a sense of accomplishment, and will hopefully be given the tools to continue next week.

Part of it needs a scanner, and I don't have one at home, and the one on my desk at the office is disconnected, so we'll see.

Our little Frankie cat is growing so fast!  He has the distinct advantage of growing up with his human companions around all of the time.  No other cat I have ever lived with has had this opportunity.

Unfortunately, this is going to create a separation anxiety situation when the day comes that we do have to go back to our offices.   He cries and cries when we are just outside in the yard.

I am sure that he cries when we take our little trips to try to get out of the neighborhood, too.

Our walks and bike rides aren't very long, but every time we come back, he is settled in on the rug by the door, waiting for us.

Nothing much else to report on.  Today is Mothers Day, so happy day to any moms reading this.
