Oh where, oh where has my little spring gone...

OK, maybe not quite the right words, but I think you get what I'm trying to say. It's May, ad it snowed.  Now it is just rainy and cold. My magnolia tree looks horrible, my Japanese Red Maple looks sad, and my dwarf lilacs look, grumpy!

Old Business:

  • Memorabilia filed.
  • Reading, slowed down. Makes me sad.
  • Trail Guide, slowed down. Makes me sad.
  • Magazines - mostly the same. Doing OK.
  • Devotionals - goes back and forth. Not good.
  • Still having trouble finding a therapist who would like to come work for me. What is it? Sniffing armpits...did I forget to shower???
  • Interior of garage is mostly done, just have utility area to do. Outside has had HUGE improvements.
  • Heart and Soul started back up 14 May. Slowly. Reduced client load, extra cleaning work.
  • Water softener still not there.
  • Got the alley flowerbeds cleaned up. Been picking at other sections, but probably need to make a deliberate go around. Have come up with an idea to use old gallon jugs cut down into strips to make root barriers for the edges.  I'll let you know how that goes. Most of what I get is creeping charlie and grass.
  • Did yet another newsletter here at home.  Getting good at it. Hours at church picking back up a little bit.
  • Have finally gotten some financial relief, but not nearly as much as what I have lost.
  • Still staying in contact with family better.
  • Have gotten a little bit better with social media for the business. Spurts.
  • Have been trying to still help those who can't go out.
  • Got a massage - wow! that was great!
  • Started painting my grandfather's chairs. Then it got really humid. And then they moved everything around in the garage. Sigh. Need to do second coat.
New Business:
  • Going to try and train 016 to do some of the business work for me.
  • Still trying to view this as a sabbatical and a schedule reset. Enough with the hamster wheel.
  • Go in today to get COVID test. Have a medical procedure next Friday that dictates one. Should be curious to see.
  • Have been working on planters for Mother's Day, since we couldn't do our usual flowers at church.
  • Plant the flowers I bought off of the sad plant table.
