Still here, just muddling through the month. Awaiting the final episode of Station Eleven, which comes out tomorrow - my son and I have been really enjoying this show (on HBO Max).
My schedule is reduced but it doesn't really feel like it - beginning of the year post-holiday break work pile-up, transitioning to online prescribing, numerous Covid-related patient calls, post-grief fog - all has combined into me still not getting home early despite my schedule reductions. Thank goodness I didn't have a full schedule this month.
Still, got my bills paid and estimated taxes paid, hope to get more organizing done in my home this weekend, slowly but surely. I've also been keeping up with the Thousand Mile Challenge which I plan to actually finish this year.
Taking a break from purging and cleaning my bathroom cabinets. It’s sad, because I’m also getting rid of more of CMM’s things. The man was rather fastidious so he had a lot of personal hygiene items. He also shopped at Costco, so I have things like enough razor blades to last me years, 5 bottles of generic Flonase nasal spray (neither son who lives with me nor I have any allergies), ten unopened packages of dental floss, etc. I’m almost done but it’s surprising that even with all the purging, my cabinets are still pretty full. But I have a large trash bag full of stuff to throw away. Mysterious.
Son and I ate pizza and watched the final episode of Station Eleven. Excellent show! Great acting and writing.
Well, time for some dinner then back to finish the bathroom. Slowly but surely things are coming together.
(((((((kml))))) You sound in a good place despite all you have been through. I like the idea of the clear out. Helps maintain some semblance of control (for me, at least).
Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thanks for reaching out on my sitch. Thanks for all you do for so many. x

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Got woken up this morning by a tsunami warning on my phone! Luckily I am 6 miles inland and a little over 300 ft elevation, so no real worries where I am. I did check out the surf cams but so far, nothing.
Rewatched Streets of Fire with my son this morning - such campy 80’s fun.
A volcano near Tonga blew up - we're getting tsunami warnings in Australia too. Interesting footage of emergency services and police getting people off Bondi beach. They're filming at night time and there are still people wandering around, including a couple of girls almost wearing their bikinis!
just made an incredible cioppino in the insta-pot google two sleevers cioppino insta pot.
Incredible
Even my son loved it. Served it over basmati ... so, so, so good and took only about a half hour. I didn't either or the green pepper/carrots - used both, and next time will add a stalk of celery.
