When we get a thunder storm in Florida, it’s not like a Michigan rain. It’ll come down by the bucket full.

Right now is one of those times. I’d planned to play bingo tonight at 5:00 but the storm changed my mind. It might rain until 8:00 or 9:00 according to the forecast and I don’t feel like venturing out in it. I have ample food to eat so I’m all set. I will watch the rain come down while staying warm and comfy. Sophie likes me being here. And I like spending time with her.

If I really feel like bingo, there’s a game tomorrow night.

The upcoming Michigan Club Kentucky Derby Party may not have all the previous features. There just aren’t enough volunteers so we may not be able to bet on the horses.

It seems that during the pandemic, we all got used to staying inside, away from other folks. Before Covid, volunteering had been fun and social, but now you can’t get anyone to offer their time.

I had problems getting workers for the pizza party. The Kentucky Derby Party has had an even rougher time.

It’s like we’re all happy doing our own thing. We don’t need to mix and mingle.

I know I feel that way. Right now I’m vowing to give up my officer’s position for the Michigan Club. I don’t want to be involved any longer. I’m tired!!!!

This morning I saw a bug on the kitchen floor. He was about dead but not quite so I quickly got down on my butt to get him. Problem occurred when I wanted to get up. No matter how I positioned myself, I couldn’t push myself up. I worked on it for quite a while before I finally managed. My right wrist (the one I broke and had two surgeries) just isn’t much good in situations like that.

I know the time is coming that I won’t be successful. I need to be careful about putting myself in that position. If I can grab something to help elevate myself, I’m usually ok, but this morning I didn’t have anything around that I could use to push or pull myself up.

I heard about a lady who fell and broke her shoulder. She was on the floor for several days. I could always yell out to Alexa to call someone, but it would take an extreme situation for me to do that. I’m too proud.

By accepting the presidency of Nantucket V, I’ve become more active. (Which is good.) I should leave the house more and I don’t need to waste time watching game shows. (Although I can think of worse things to do.)

I am behind with my housework but I still have time to get everything arranged. I vow that I will get my place organized. Kelly should never inherit a mess.

So I’ll work to fix things. I especially need to finish arranging my closets and the storage area.

==================

Tuesday:

I’m determindly working on the closet. I still need to find places to hide extras.

We have spent the past two plus years with Covid-10.

Our lives have been involved with masks, and other protective directives. Now most have passed and we’re back to the “good life.”

This blog program allows you to select a “category” to identify what’s going on in your life. Currently the category is: “2021 Covid-19 – too many cases.” Actually it’s now 2022.

I just read a news release that said: “Number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals reaches record low in US. The number of patients hospitalized with the coronavirus has fallen more than 90% in more than two months, and some hospitals are going days without a single COVID-19 patient in the ICU for the first time since early 2020.”

For that reason, I’ll change the category and hope covid concerns are behind us.
