Update 3/21/2021

After last week’s unprecedented activity, this week I did nothing. I did finish reading two books, both of which I liked a lot.

St Patrick’s Day was more of doing nothing. I read a lot, and then put away the green décor and got out the Easter stuff. When I walked to the mailboxes in the late afternoon, I saw that some neighbors were at the grill area, chatting. I went home and got my wine and went back.  I need to try to be a little more friendly.  It's a struggle for me, but I need to at least try.  

My stimulus check arrived in my bank on Wednesday. I guess that’s ok. I’ll have to think about how to get rid of it – Salvation Army? GPB? Second Harvest? Cadbury Eggs?

Thursday was the storm that wasn’t. The forecast was for strong winds, lots of rain and possible hail, tornadoes (although not along the coast). We got a few showers, but none of the other stuff. I’m left to wonder: if the news people can’t get the weather right, what else do they report to frighten us with inaccurate reporting?

Just because we didn’t get the big storm that was predicted, doesn’t mean the weather is pleasant. The yellow pine dust on everything is very bad. I spend a lot of time each day blowing my nose and scratching my eyes. My porch is not a haven, but a place to avoid. And, I don’t know how I’m going to get the furniture there clean again. That will be for another day, however.  At least this is easy - go through the car wash. 

A friend of mine recently had surgery, and her daughter and grandchildren were flying to Savannah to visit. Since I live near the airport, I offered to pick them up and drive them to her house. So, I got up early Thursday to do that. The thing was, they weren’t to travel until Friday. I did not spend 24 hours the airport waiting, but I did have to go back the next day. Alzheimers, here I come. I’m scheduled to take them pack tomorrow morning. I hope I get it right this time.

I colored eggs Sunday. What a mess! Why do I think I want to do this?
