Sproing

January 12, 2025

Very unexpectedly, we saw the first shoots of spring on our walk today. I looked at our  feeble excuse for a garden when we returned home, and, voila.

Find the daffodils among the weeds.

It was a reasonably productive weekend. We applied for renewal of our passports and took the steps to sign up for Medicare (part A only). The start to new adventures.

New year

January 5, 2025

Our new year has gotten off to a rather inauspicious start. We have both had the flu, and it just doesn’t feel like the year has begun.  Carl was sick on New Years Day, and I waited for a day when I wasn’t scheduled to work. Such a good employee.

It was really the 24-36 hour variety, but still, we’re both just tired.

My big accomplishment today was de-decorating the Christmas tree. It is out at the curb awaiting a yard waste pickup tomorrow. The ornaments and lights are boxed but have not made the trip to the basement yet.

I will work tomorrow, the good employee and all, but if I am still tired I may work from home.

Exciting life!

On the other hand, it was just the flu.
